Berlin-based konfetti, a go-to booking platform for local courses, activities, and team events, announced that it has raised €2M in a Seed round of funding.
The startup aims to become the first point of contact for local courses and team events throughout Europe.
konfetti says it will use the funds to expand and introduce new features to the platform and its own SaaS products.
The round was led by Vienna-based Speedinvest, an early-stage venture capital firm. It claims to be one of the leading early-stage investors with more than €1B in AUM, 40 investors, and offices in Berlin, London, Munich, Paris, and Vienna.
Launched in 2021 by Tobias Fezer and Wolfgang Mauer, konfetti builds a platform for local courses and team events.
With the help of its SaaS solution, course organizers can integrate an online store into their own website.
The website offers a wide variety of course types, including culinary classes, art classes, pottery classes, DIY seminars, cocktail courses, baking courses, and tastings, among others.
Users can now find and book courses in over 250 cities. The company reports that more than 750 partners in Germany and Austria are using konfetti and are marketing more than 3,000 courses via the platform.
Konfetti says it enables sellers to run their companies with all-in-one software that also boosts their sales.
The programs are aggressively promoted. Course providers, meanwhile, have a lot less administrative work to do.
