Osborne Clarke has advised Capnamic Ventures on its EUR 3 million investment in Aifora GmbH. The fresh capital will be used for the further development of the technology and for expansion into new markets.

Aifora was founded in February 2018 by Thomas Jesewski and David Krings. The Düsseldorf-based start-up offers retailers and brands SaaS solutions that use artificial intelligence to increase sales and margins and reduce inventory. For this purpose, Aifora evaluates the data of corporate customers in real-time and uses this information to create forecasts of consumer purchasing behaviour.
