bmp media investors AG: successful finish to further round of financing at
dailyme
Berlin, 07 October 2011
Under its own management, bmp media investors AG (ISIN DE0003304200) has
successfully completed a round of financing for Self Loading Content GmbH,
Berlin - the operator of dailyme. In addition to current investors bmp
media investors and VC Fonds Technologie (IBB), as well as founder Holger
Schween, other investors in the round included Software&Support Media,
Media Ventures and Dirk Freytag. Following the financing round, bmp media
investors' stake in the company is now 43.91%.
The round of financing rewards the dynamic development of the company in
2011, which has now resulted in more than 140,000 active users (UMUs) and
over two million monthly clip views and has safeguarded the planned steps
for growth. In its first few days, the recently released iPad version has
already both recruited numerous new users and achieved a place in the Apple
App Store's Top 10. In addition, dailyme has forged close ties with an
array of new content partners in 2011, while in terms of marketing, the
collaboration with madvertise and Smartclip has successfully got under way,
complementing the cooperation with YOC AG.
In Germany, dailyme is the leading provider of mobile TV entertainment
covering a range of broadcasters. A rule-based background process and
downloads - mostly via WLAN - enable high-quality and convenient TV
entertainment in comparison with mobile streaming.
Jens Spyrka, member of the Executive Board of bmp media investors,
comments: 'With its scalable revenue model, we see dailyme as being in pole
position for the expected boom in smartphones and tablets as central
mainstream entertainment devices. The high level of name recognition and
wealth of experience, the mature product and existing customer
relationships with content and marketing partners, but especially the
active user base that has been achieved - all these factors give us hope of
further dynamic company growth, which will be reinforced by the expansion
of the investor base.
