OREANDA-NEWS. Vigour, formerly known as Brisk.io, is the fifth startup supported by hub:raum. The three founders convinced with their innovative technology. “We developed a platform that enables applications to run on any device, converging their interfaces into one fluid experience over the cloud. Using that technology, we are creating revolutionary products and user experiences”, explains Ramon Duivenvoorden, CEO of Vigour. “With Vigour Video we launch our first product as a white-labelled template for media companies that want to give their viewers the ability to seamlessly connect different devices into a unified video experience.” Vigour Video enables a novel distribution model for online content providers.

“We have seen the team of Vigour at the closing event of Startup Bootcamp in Berlin. They convinced us straigtaway and we decided to offer them support by hub:raum”, says Peter Borchers, founder and head of hub:raum. Together with Linden Mobile Ventures, a technology investor from the Netherlands and a smaller participation of DG-i, a technology company from Kцln, hub:raum now leads this seed investment round of Ђ500k.
