PropTech1 Ventures and IBB Beteiligungsgesellschaft invest in Seniovo, Germany's first one-stop solution for barrier-free reconstruction

Dow Jones received a payment from EQS/DGAP to publish this press release.

*PropTech1 Ventures and IBB Beteiligungsgesellschaft invest in Seniovo, 
Germany's first one-stop solution for barrier-free reconstruction* 
 
*Berlin, 1 October 2018 - *PropTech1 Ventures, Germany's first venture 
capital fund focusing on European PropTech startups, invests in Berlin 
startup Seniovo together with IBB Beteiligungsgesellschaft. German Media 
Pool with its print media partners was won as a further investor in the 
seven-digit seed financing round. Launched this year, the VC fund PropTech1, 
led by managing partners Nikolas Samios and Anja Rath, which brings together 
15 real estate companies and entrepreneurs across the entire value chain, is 
already announcing its third investment, all of which were made during the 
last month. 
 
The PropTech startup Seniovo enables people in need of care to stay at home 
by offering age-appropriate and barrier-free reconstruction measures - in 
many cases without additional payment of private funds. 
 
The issue of home care is affecting more and more people: Demographic change 
is leading to an aging society. The number of people in need of care in 
Germany today is just under 3 million. This number will increase by at least 
500,000 in the next ten years. At the same time, there is a lack of nursing 
staff and homes. Furthermore, 90% of senior citizens in need of care prefer 
to live at home, but just 2% of all homes and apartments are barrier-free. 
Thus, there is an enormous need. Although health and long-term care 
insurance companies usually cover the costs of barrier-free reconstruction 
and accompanying measures in order to save the persons in need of care from 
moving to a nursing home, these funds are often not retrieved because the 
persons concerned lack the knowledge or are overwhelmed by the 
non-transparent market of handymen. 
 
Seniovo acts as a one-stop solution, offers targeted advice, and digitalizes 
the application and execution process completely up to the implementation of 
the measures on site with their own handymen or certified partners. Thanks 
to Seniovo, health insurance companies benefit from a reduction of 
administrative burden. At the same time, the costs for ambulatory care 
services are also reduced in barrier-free apartments. Up to now, Seniovo has 
been offering reconstruction measures for the bathroom throughout Germany 
and will offer more products in the future. 
 
Anja Rath, Managing Partner of PropTech1 Ventures, comments on the 
investment decision, "Seniovo offers a service with an urgent and growing 
demand. The business model is attractive and scalable. On top of that, we 
are very happy to support a company that makes an important social 
contribution and that makes barrier-free reconstruction much easier for 
people who are already working to capacity by caring for relatives or 
patients." 
 
Christian Seegers, Senior Investment Manager of IBB 
Beteiligungsgesellschaft, adds, "Seniovo is a prime example of the companies 
we are looking for: The Berlin-based team around Jonathan Kohl and Justus 
Klocke has founded a fast-growing startup, convinced private capital of 
their business model, and also provides an important social added value. The 
care market offers excellent growth opportunities for innovative startups, 
and we are pleased to support Seniovo with our expertise in the care 
market." 
 
Jonathan Kohl, CEO & co-founder of Seniovo, describes the added value of the 
VC investment, "The investor consortium has proven to be very valuable from 
day one. With PropTech1, we have gained our desired investor, whose partners 
contribute countless years of experience as entrepreneurs themselves and, in 
addition to capital, provide us with accelerated access to a broad network 
in the real estate industry. IBB Beteiligungsgesellschaft has already made 
several successful investments in the care market and contributes deep 
knowledge of the market, from which we can profit."

*About PropTech1 Ventures:* 
PropTech1 Ventures (www.proptech1.ventures) is Germany's first venture 
capital fund focusing on European PropTech startups. After the real estate 
industry, the so-called "sleeping giant", has shied away from real 
innovation for decades, it now faces drastic change due to digitalization. 
This provides tremendous opportunities for PropTech startups focused on the 
optimization, digitization, and disruption of the real estate industry. The 
VC fund was co-founded by real estate entrepreneur Marius Marschall von 
Bieberstein (Managing Partner evoreal) and the COOPERATIVA Venture Group and 
is actively supported by the Venture Partners Andreas Wende (Managing 
Partner NAI apollo), Christian Vollman (CEO & founder nebenan.de and 
"Business Angel of the Year 2017"), Kristofer Fichtner (co-founder 
Thermondo), and Nicholas Neerpasch (CEO & co-founder of Doozer). The 
shareholders of the fund so far consist of 15 real estate companies and 
entrepreneurs from all areas of the value chain. In addition to venture 
capital, PropTech1 provides PropTech companies with expertise and market 
access from leading experts in the traditional real estate, PropTech, and 
venture capital areas. Through its multi-faceted analyst team, which covers 
the DACH, UK, Nordics, Rest of Europe, and North America focus regions, 
PropTech1 offers its fund investors access to what we consider to be the 
most interesting startups in the scene, proven venture capital method 
expertise, financial participation both through the fund as well as through 
direct co-investment opportunities, and the moderated exchange with other 
innovative real estate companies and the PropTech startups themselves.
