Second round financing for stylefruits - Creathor Venture and Vorwerk Ventures invest expansion capi

The internet platform stylefruits.de was founded in late 2008 by the management and funded by Creathor Venture and is today one of the most popular German fashion sites. More than one million mainly young women visit stylefruits.de on a monthly basis, to inform themselves about fashion and to order products from the shop partners. In 2010, stylefruits achieved with its business model an eight-digit growth of product sales.

At stylefruits.de the styling recommendations come directly from the user community. "Our mainly female users recommend especially wearable and affordable outfits. Their recommendations are fashionably inspiring and offer a clear value added for other women”, Ingo Heinrich, CEO says of stylefruits. Over one million outfit recommendations have already been made by the user community of stylefruits. Those recommendations have a strong impact on online purchasing behavior, according to a recent study by the Federal Association of German Mail Order Traders (bvh). With 12.65 billion Euros, fashion is by far the highest turnover group and women are the largest source of revenue for the online and mail order businesses (bvh). “Stylefruits established itself as a market leader in social commerce for women's fashion from the first hour" says Cédric Köhler, investment manager at Creathor Venture." We are pleased, that with Vorwerk Ventures we have another strong partner on board, who offers stylefruits added value with their experience and their network.

"As first investor, Creathor Venture gave us from the beginning the trust and funds, now with Vorwerk Ventures as additional investor, we have gained another ideal partner, who will enable us to further develop stylefruits growth and internationalization", says Ingo Heinrich.
