The Carinthian video streaming start-up Bitmovin attracted about USD 30 million (EUR 24.4 million) from investors in a Series B round of financing.

It is one of the biggest rounds of financing for any start-up founded in Austria up until now. Bitmovin was established in 2013 and has positioned itself as one of the world’s recognized players in the video streaming market since then. In the meantime, the start-up has offices in San Francisco, the Netherlands, Austria, Hong Kong, Sao Paulo, New York, Seattle and Chicago.

The main investor in this round of financing is Highland Europe (which also invested in WeTransfer, Wooga and Outfittery amongst others). The existing investors of Atomico, Constantia New Business, Dawn Capital and YCombinator also took part in the financing. “Bitmovin has unprecedented market potential due to the fact that video streaming is coming close to a turning point and will become the dominant format for consuming sports, news, films and theatre”, says Fergal Mullen, partner for the lead investor Highland Europe.

The new research allowance in Germany – in competition with the Austrian research tax credit?

Companies carrying out research and development in Austria have the possibility to apply for research funding, namely the so-called research tax credit. In an international comparison, the Austrian research tax credit is a recipe for success and is designed to showcase and enhance the attractiveness of Austria as a research location. The successive increase in the research tax credit from the original level of three percent in 2002 to 14 percent at present has made a massive contribution to this success.
