Xara GmbH secures €3M
investment
Fuel to launch Xara cloud, a design platform bringing business
content to life.
Berlin, Germany – Xara GmbH has closed a funding round of €3 million from BELLEVUE
Investments & Co, an investment group who now boasts a growing portfolio of international
software businesses.
Xara’s mission is to bring business documents to life, by bridging the gap between professional
design and business content. No design experience is needed to create brand focused,
audience engaging documents.
The funding will be used to launch Xara Cloud, a powerful drag and drop browser-based editor
that provides business with the ability to centralize the creation, collaboration, and control of
any business content ranging from social media graphics to flyer and brochures to stunning
presentations. Xara Cloud has advanced collaboration tools as well, making it easy for users to
share their documents with colleagues and clients, all on one central platform, simplifying
workflow and maximizing productivity.
Xara Cloud helps businesses accelerate their growth and gain greater brand visibility. Xara
Cloud is available immediately at www.xara.com.
“We are excited about the market disruption potential of Xara. In today’s world, users expect rich
functionality in easy to use packages. Unfortunately, the business market has been left with
legacy, bloated, and complex products. We believe by combining Xara’s deep design software
expertise with modern product principals, Xara has the chance to become the market leader.”
— Jürgen Jaron, Founder and CEO of BELLEVUE Investments & Co.
“Xara has made the output I created for my clients MUCH more professional, improving my image
with them. After showing a client just a draft they actually mentioned the improvement (over
powerpoint). Xara has made me better with my clients.”
— Walter, Founder and CEO of BELLEVUE Investments & Co.
“We are extremely excited with the feedback from customers about the impact value Xara is
having on their business. The funding and guidance from BELLEVUE will allow us to successfully
execute on providing products and service users love to our current and rapidly growing customer
base.”
— Matt Bolton, CEO, Xara GmbH
