Munich-based software company Rencore receives funding from renowned German investor UVC Partners to further grow its market-leading cloud collaboration governance tool Rencore Governance.
MUNICH, Sept. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Rencore, the provider of award-winning software for secure and efficient collaboration in the cloud, has received an investment of USD 8 million. Renowned German investor UVC Partners led the financing round. This comes only a year after Rencore raised USD 4 million with Capnamic, which expanded its existing investment in this round. Rencore is using the fresh capital to further invest in the growth of its cloud collaboration governance offering and become the leading provider in a dynamically growing market.
Completing this latest funding round comes at an exciting time for Rencore, with the company facing a rapid increase in global demand for cloud collaboration governance solutions. Providing their workforce with services for easy and secure internal and external collaboration is essential for organizations of all sizes - especially in this new work reality where home office and remote work are the norm rather than the exception. Between 2019 and 2020, the use of online collaboration platforms increased by 322 percent, and today, 99 percent of all remote workers use an average of 4.8 different communication and collaboration services. The successful completion of this investment round proves the relevance of Rencore's Cloud Collaboration Governance solution.
"We are beyond excited to bring in investors who see the huge market potential in the digital workplace space and attest to our unique market position. Rencore can provide companies with customized solutions to control various cloud services, meeting all IT security requirements. Our vision is to provide every employee with an optimal digital collaboration infrastructure that strikes the perfect balance between security and efficiency - across any cloud service," said Matthias Einig, CEO and co-founder of Rencore.
"With today's funding from UVC Partners, we can further scale our business and expand our offerings to organizations of all sizes. Rencore provides them with comprehensive control and thorough insights into cloud collaboration services and environments. Moreover, due to our extensive expertise baked into 100+ governance best practices, implementing our solution is very easy, quick, and cost-efficient," said Torsten Mandelkow, CAA and co-founder of Rencore.
Oliver Schoppe, Principal at UVC Partners, said: "Whether new forms of work, the trend towards hybrid working, or simply the reduction of travel for environmental reasons, the demand for cloud-based forms of collaboration will continue to rise. However, more and more companies are now recognizing the challenge of keeping cloud services secure, efficient, and compliant. Rencore has the strongest solution in the market and already serves many large customers in Europe and North America. We look forward to supporting them in this important mission."
Niklas Raberg, Investment Manager at Capnamic, commented: "We are more than impressed by what the team around Matthias and Torsten has achieved since our initial partnership about a year ago: Rencore already is covering a broad spectrum of cloud services and is one of the leading cloud collaboration governance providers. The great interest from the global cloud community in working with Rencore – whether as partners or employees – has clearly encouraged us in our renewed investment. We are proud to be a part of Rencore's success story."
