Berlin-based startup, Ninox has raised three million US dollars from btov Partners for its innovative no-code platform. Ninox empowers nontechnical end users in a variety of business functions to digitize business processes and automate workflows without programming skills. The company, which is one of the fastest-growing Software-as-a-Service startups in Germany, offers templates for CRM, ERP, project management and almost any organizational use case. The platform allows users to seamlessly create custom business apps in minutes.
“IT projects can turn out tedious and expensive. Companies from traditional industries often find it difficult to get suitable specialists on board. With our solution, employees in the respective departments can finally take digitization into their own hands – without needing to know how to write a single line of code. Our database-supported platform offers the opportunity to create flexible and scalable applications and automate workflows. With the financing round we can now further invest in the expansion of the platform which will empower more customers to take the no-code approach in the future,” says Ninox founder and CEO Frank Böhmer. The financing round was led by btov Partners’ Industrial Tech Fund and supported by the btov Private Investor Network.
“Ninox enables enterprise and medium-sized businesses to undertake digitization projects on their own while staying agile and flexible. The software is already used by more than 3,000 companies with over 200 new customers added every month. These metrics are strong indicators of Ninox’s status as a pioneer in the no-code industry”, says Benedikt Kronberger, Partner of btov’s Industrial Tech Fund.
US-based accelerator Techstars, as well as Dr. Jan Bielinski, former CCO of Julius Baer Group, also took part in the round. “For me as a Ninox user, the enthusiastic community is outstanding. This is not just an outstanding product, but a thriving ecosystem,” comments Dr. Jan Bielinski. Among the startup’s customers are industrial giants such as ThyssenKrupp System Engineering. Housing manufacturer Kampa is digitizing its construction management processes with the help of Ninox, while the Swiss food retailer Migros uses the software to control the distribution of menus in restaurant areas, and Generali Real Estate uses Ninox to support its sales team.
