Christian brings venture capital and executive experience from Burda Principal Investments and Hubert Burda Media, following earlier consulting and advisory roles.
Amelia is a principal at BurdaPrincipal Investments and brings venture growth experience, having previously worked at Nord Security and served on the board of Oddbox.
BurdaPrincipal Investments led a £16m Series B funding round to support UK expansion and platform enhancements.
"With our recent growth we’ve identified key areas for Oddbox to develop and further our mission to fight food waste. So while we continue to retain majority stakes, we wanted an investor to help make these developments happen, and importantly who also shares our vision that business is a force for good. We’ve found that in Burda, as they’re committed to long-term sustainability, a principle at the core of Oddbox."
BurdaPrincipal Investments has participated in a Series C funding round for the UK saving and investing app alongside existing backers.
"While BPI has a clear focus on marketplaces and platforms, we expanded our focus into the fintech industry by concentrating on business models that require no or a minimum of regulated equity amount only."
The Series C round was led by Kinnevik with participation from new and existing investors to support international expansion.
"This has been an exceptional year of growth for HungryPanda. We can launch in new cities in just two weeks and have established ourselves as the market leader due to our laser focus on developing the best service for our customers and providing high-quality execution."
