Seed Funding For Kimeta And VisuMotion
The High Tech Gründerfonds strikes again. It is supporting seed stage investment in a new job search engine Kimeta.de (along with private investors and BASF) and Jena-based VisuMotion, a computer graphics software firm.
Darmstadt-based Kimeta.de sees Google as its role model for website design. It job engine search jobs from other sites on the Internet and offers a simple interface but supports complex searches. Its founders, two long-time headhunters, brought in Jörg Malang, as a co-founder and manager. He founded the German subsidiary of comparison shopping site Kelkoo (which was acquired by Yahoo), worked in marketing at a popular dating site service provider, and earlier was with Lycos.
VisuMotion.net is a newly formed company developing hardware and software for 3D image display. Apparently there are a lot of different 3D file formats out there, which is an issue for vendors of 3D displays, content developers, and for the end users. Its products are meant to overcome the problem.
