Most of our success is based on a clear customer focus – they are our most important asset to further develop the platform according to their needs. We’ve recently strongly strengthened our team, with Black Pearls VC investment, we’re now even more ready to take the next step and accelerate our growth. Black Pearls is a great VC to have onboard, not only because of its knowledge of how to scale up and trim young companies towards efficiency, but also to open doors in Poland where our great IT team is also based.”
