Johannes

Johannes

Founder and CEO

2trde

"The partnership with Adevinta Ventures is unique. As a marketplace startup, we need a partner who not only understands the VC and automotive market, but also has direct access to Europe's ecosystem. Within the first 12 months after the financing round, we went live with our product in Austria and started fruitful interactions in two other markets. This would certainly not have been possible without the very close support of Adevinta Ventures."
