Investment for Berlin's Dalia Research

In Germany, mobile survey specialist Dalia Research has received a seven-figure seed (sic) round of funding, which it will use to expand its Data Science and Engineering team, analytics capacities and geographical reach.

Founded in 2013 by Nico Jaspers, Hanns-Christoph Leisewitz and Fernando Guillen, Berlin-based Dalia has developed technology for the collection of real-time data including market trends, attitudes and opinions. With a publisher-network covering more than 70 countries, its platform currently processes up to 3.5 million answers per day.

New funding has been led by Wellington Partners and IBB-Beteiligungsgesellschaft, with participation from existing angel investors including WestTech Ventures.

Jaspers comments: 'We're excited to have strong partners on board to scale our technology. The rapid spread of smartphones is a game-changer in how opinion and consumer insights are generated. We want to lead this shift around the world'.
