Oct 24, 2023 | By Team SR

The German startup VisionAI has raised €5 million in initial money. Christian Reber (founder of Pitch, Superlist, Wunderlist, and Interface Capital), Niklas Jansen (co-founder of Blinkist), Oliver Flaskämper, and Philipp Westermeyer (founder of OMR) were also involved in this round, which was led by HV Capital.
VisionAI uses AI to give e-commerce merchants a chance in a market dominated by online giants like Amazon and Zalando, similar to what competitors Depict and 35up are working on.
VisionAI founder Melvin Schwarz said, “When selling online, it is crucial that the right person finds the right item immediately. Our tools open the eyes of online shops and thus ensure more sales,“With our cross-selling tool, partner shops were able to increase their sales by more than 10 percent.”
