SAN FRANCISCO, April 20, 2021 - Bitmovin, a leading provider of video infrastructure for global digital media companies, today announced it has raised $25 million in Series C financing.

The company will leverage this investment to drive the continued expansion of its product innovation and technology leadership in the streaming space. Bitmovin’s Series C round was led by Swisscom Ventures with participation from Climb Ventures, and existing investors: Atomico, Highland Europe and Constantia New Business. The announcement brings Bitmovin’s total funding to $68 million.

“The online video streaming market has grown exponentially—at least 10x—since we started Bitmovin in 2013,” said Stefan Lederer, CEO and founder at Bitmovin. “More consumers than ever prefer to watch content on any device and at any time rather than in linear programming. This trend is further fuelled by advances in connectivity and consumer electronics, along with innovation in streaming technologies. We’re proud to take a leading role in helping transform the streaming industry by enabling new services around the globe.”

With additional funding raised and a new advisory board Neural Concept is getting ready for a strong year 2021

matthias.seilern@sam-design.at (Matthias Seilern) — Tue, 23 Feb 2021 14:10:21 GMT

Neural Concept, the Swiss design and engineering software company, is extremely pleased to announce new steps in its development.

With the start of the year, Constantia New Business and High-Tech Grunderfonds financed the next stage of the growth by providing seed-extension capital. The two investors already led the seed-funding 18 months ago. Neural Concept is therefore accelerating its quest to put the power of deep learning into the hands of design engineers, for real-time simulation and interactive design optimization.

In concert with this fundraising, the company is announcing the creation of a new Advisory Board, which complements its existing Board of Directors. The new members of the team, Evrard Van Zuylen and Roberto Schettler, bring significant experience in founding, growing and managing successful B2B software companies in the Machine Learning and Engineering Design spaces.
