Partech newsletter: 1 acquisition, €42M raised : mighty oaks from little acorns grow !

Partech newsletter: 1 acquisition, €42M raised : mighty oaks from little acorns grow !

November 26th, 2019

Since our last issue, much has transpired for our portfolio champions as our top-notch selection keeps growing and growing: we support now 160+ companies in 26 countries, making up an extensive community of multi-talented founders spanning across Europe, USA, Africa and SouthEast Asia!
 
We are very happy for portfolio company Frontier Car Group: OLX Group announced they would be investing up to $400M in the company! OLX group is the classified business of South African investor Prosus - formerly known as Naspers. OLX offers sellers and dealers a well-known, respected, and global listing service to buy and sell used cars, but the service stops with classified ads. Therefore the corporation will integrate FCG’s technology and marketplace to dramatically increase the services available to users and expand faster.👏
 
And hot off the press: Twitter is lucky enough to have acquired Aiden.ai! Congrats, especially to the co-founders: Marie Outtier & Pierre-Jean PJ Camillieri 👏 "Aiden.ai proves once again that what matters most for a tech startup is: team, team, team and the ability to execute and get things done," says Reza Malekzadeh in this blogpost about their journey.
 
Have a great read!
