GUURU raises CHF 2.7 million
The oversubscribed round was led by Swiss VC investiere.ch and included the Swiss Post, MS Direct Group, Equitypitcher, Wayra UK as well as existing investors. The funding will be used to continue GUURU’s international expansion and to further develop its proprietary algorithm-based matching technology.
Tonio Meier, GUURU’s CEO and co-founder commented, “We are excited to work with our incoming investors, who bring a lot of relevant industry experience and network to the company. In addition to developing our home market, we plan to focus on deepening our footprint in Germany and the UK where we benefit from a business development agreement with Wayra UK, Telefónica’s innovation arm.”
