● The Berlin-based tech startup Frontnow, which develops AI solutions for online retailers, has closed its extended seed financing round.
● The €3.8 million in funding will be used to further develop the technology and expand the company's enterprise customer base.
Frontnow, providing scalable AI solutions for e-commerce, today announces the successful closing of its extended seed financing round. With a total volume of €3.8 million, the round is led by Peak, with participation from PROfounders Capital, and Identity Ventures.
Frontnow’s scalable B2B SaaS solutions enable enterprise customers to engage with their target audiences in a completely new, hyper-personalized and on-demand way. Through easy plug & play integration into online stores, the Frontnow Advisor, a virtual shopping assistant, becomes the hallmark of this innovation. It provides optimal customer advice through relevant information, personalized recommendations, and engaging interaction, enabled by the use of generative artificial intelligence to make communication more effective and ensure long-term competitiveness. This product extends the personal shopping experience from brick-and-mortar stores to the online shop, and is available in 117 languages, 24/7, without additional staff costs. The Advisor uses a combination of more than 40 algorithms, including several Large Language Models, all trained on proprietary corporate data.
The second product, Frontnow Enhance, optimizes product descriptions in online stores by cleansing and enriching product data, and adding contextual meaning with a single click. Customers benefit from SEO-optimized content that improves rankings, thereby increasing traffic and consequently revenue. The self-learning algorithms powering Frontnow’s solutions deliver ever-increasing value to their customers and improve the consumer shopping experience.
The funding will be used to further extend the company's technological lead while driving sales expansion.
With Peak, PROfounders, and Identity Ventures by our side, backed by their deep expertise and strategic commitment, we have found the ideal partners to extend our leadership. Together we’re setting new standards, combining our strengths, and focusing on sustainable growth. Last year, we managed to grow from zero to over 1 million ARR in just 9 months. This year, we aim to significantly exceed that growth. We are primarily using the investment to further develop our products and expand our sales partner network. Our focus remains on customer value, as this is what ultimately determines our success or failure.Marc Funk, Founder and CEO of Frontnow
With their scalable AI solutions, Frontnow provides the most advanced solution for retailers to maximize long-term revenue, increase their gross margins and stay ahead.
