Deko Eko is an upcycling platform which is completely changing the way of thinking about waste. We’ve raised €20 000 till now, we need another €5K to reach the minimum and we’re talking to one business angel about another €10K investment. We’ve grown 20,5% month on month over the last 16 months. Our new Polish market customers include Google, Loreal and Makro. Our new Dutch market customers include Otazu, America Today, Canon Europe, Buy Bay, Unilever and Liberty Global LA.

[Last chance to invest] clevergig`s on-demand scheduling software (SaaS) allows temp agencies and other middle-men to quickly match the right worker with relevant shifts or projects. Last week has been a roller coaster! We were able to secure a €50K commitment (pending Due Diligence) from a group of angel investors. Our existing investors have matched that €50K with an additional €50K, which will bring our round to at least €140K. Proceeds of this round are used to accelerate our growth. Meanwhile, product usage continues to increase 50% MoM, while revenues increase 10% MoM. There are JUST 3 DAYS LEFT for you to join in. Interested? Check out our round.
