Investor joins PROBIS

We are pleased to announce that the Stuttgart-based early-growth investor ENGELHARDT KAUPP KIEFER & Co. (EKK & Co.) has joined PROBIS.

EKK & Co. brings a good 20 years of experience in the field of corporate investments and product scaling and supports PROBIS in gaining additional market share throughout Europe. To this end, resources and expertise from the PropTech and FinTech branches will be pooled to further develop the PROBIS software and add new SaaS modules. To this end, the tool will be tailored even more closely to the needs of the individual user groups. The aim is to further develop PROBIS into a platform with an individually configurable set of individual solutions such as the "Calculation" or "ESG" modules. The synergy of the established multi-project controlling company PROBIS and EKK & Co. holds great potential for the real estate industry and its digitalization.

Roman Loch, Managing Director of EKK & Co.: "We invest in the founders and support them in the successful implementation of their business model. The basis is our entrepreneurial hands-on approach, with which we have been successfully active for 20 years. We are enthusiastic about the goal of digitizing the real estate and finance industry and thereby exploiting the huge growth potential of PROBIS. In doing so, we aim for a long-term investment through all phases of the company."

Moritz Koppe, Managing Director of PROBIS: "The entry of EKK & Co. is the logical continuation of our expansion strategy of recent years - the partner is a perfect fit for our company, both professionally and personally, as is our existing shareholder mantro. We will continue to grow through the entry of the investor and provide customers with additional features in the cloud. And this in the long term throughout Europe and not least in large projects, where PROBIS can particularly show its strength as a multi-project controlling software and provide all participants with data in real time."

Manfred Tropper, Founder & CEO of mantro: "We see that the digitization of the real estate industry has gained momentum, especially during the crisis. As part of our buy-and-build strategy, one of our approaches is to take promising companies to the next level with our know-how and market understanding. With the investor EKK &Co. we at PROBIS see enormous potential in the implementation of common goals. With our experience from more than 25 start-ups and our existing solution portfolio in the Real Estate/PropTech market, the cooperation with the other shareholders goes far beyond technical implementation. We are working together to establish PROBIS as the standard solution for construction cost controlling in the market."
