Extremely annoying: You order something online and the package arrives everywhere but at your own home. A scenario that the Munich startup Nello wants to put an end to soon: A built-in chip in the intercom, combined with an app, will allow residents to open their front doors remotely. With this technology, Nello has once again convinced investors and raised a total of 1.5 million euros, according to the startup scene<\/a> currently reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good news from the house Nello<\/a>: Following a successful seed round last year, the founding team around TUM alumni Dr. Christoph Baumeister and Daniel Jahn once again convinced investors of their product and its potential. In addition to existing investors HBT Holdings and the development bank KfW, each investing \u20ac500,000 in the company, KPN Ventures, the venture capital arm of the Dutch telecommunications group KPN, is now also on board with the Munich-based startup. And what will happen with the fresh capital? The founders intend to invest it primarily in technical development and expanding the ten-person team.<\/p>\n

The digital house key\u2014consisting of a chip for the intercom system, which requires self-assembly, and an app\u2014is expected to be available by the end of this month\u2014at least according to current information. The firmware is currently being refined. This should particularly please the Kickstarter campaign backers, who are also supporting the development with \u20ac109,400.<\/p>\n
