P+P advises DN Capital on Investment in Joblift
Joblift, a metasearch engine for jobs, is receiving new capital amounting to EUR 10 million in the course of a financing round, led by DN Capital. Other investors include Picus Capital and the existing investors Cherry Ventures, btov and TruVenturo.
As a metasearch engine, Joblift searches the job listings of over 4000 partner job exchanges (e.g., StepStone, Gigajob, Experteer, etc.) and compiles the results of the search concisely in a single platform. The user thereby avoids searching through various platforms. Joblift claims to have 1.5 million monthly site visits.
Lukas Erlebach, the former Head of Germany at Zalando, and Malte Widenka founded Joblift in 2015. The Hamburg-based company currently employs approximately 50 employees in two locations in Hamburg and Berlin and operates in the UK, Germany, France and the Netherlands.
The London-based investor DN Capital is an expert in growth capital und early-stage investments, focusing on investments in software and digital media.
