SevenVentures invests in sustainable online food retailer Matsmart-Motatos
Unterf hring, November 20, 2023. SevenVentures, the investment arm of ProSiebenSat.1 and part of the Groups Commerce & Ventures segment, is taking a single-digit million stake in Matsmart-Motatos via a media-for-equity investment. SevenVentures will thus become the company's long-term strategic media partner. The investment is focused on further strengthening Matsmart-Motatos in the German speaking region. The Swedish start-up is developing into an aspiring e-commerce company dedicated to fighting food waste. Matsmart-Motatos sells food online at reduced prices, helping large manufacturers to bring their surplus stock to consumers in a sustainable way.
This year, SevenVentures is increasingly investing in start-ups in the food industry, thereby further expanding its broad expertise in this area. With these various investments, SevenVentures is underlining its competence in sustainably building up consumer-oriented start-ups through individually tailored media-investments and significantly increasing their brand awareness via ProSiebenSat.1s TV and digital reach. In this way, SevenVentures supports Matsmart-Motatos in taking the next step in its development: creating more awareness in the German speaking region and further increasing brand recognition.
Florian Hirschberger, CEO SevenVentures: Our media investment in Matsmart-Motatos is an excellent example for our strategy. We are investing in an internationally successful company with an innovative and sustainable business model. TV presence will have a decisive impact for brand awareness and recognition - two vital elements for growing Matsmart-Motatos sustainable e-commerce business. We are very glad to use ProSiebenSat.1s reach to support Matsmarts vision in tackling the problem of foodwaste.
Peter Beckius, CEO Matsmart: The German market is where we see our biggest growth potential going forward and naturally, it is also the market to which we will direct the majority of our investments. To match our ambitious targets, we are happy to have found strong partners. We are looking forward to great results coming from the collaboration with SevenVentures.
