Dimpora has secured investment in the amount of 2.1 million Swiss francs after closing a successful seed financing round, details of which can be found in a press release. The group of investors included the High-Tech Gründerfonds from Germany in addition to the US venture capital firms Safer Made and Closed Loop Partners.
Dimpora was founded as a spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH). The start-up is developing a membrane for sports clothing, which in contrast to conventional solutions does not use any fluorine compounds. However, in terms of waterproofing and breathability, its products are still able to hold their own against membrane solutions developed by other manufacturers.
The fresh capital injection should now allow production activities to be accelerated, with the ultimate aim of supplying sports and outdoor clothing manufacturers around the world.
