Cologne, 25.04.2018 – BitStone Capital announces with the investment in the Düsseldorf start-up BRICKSPACES its third investment so far. Together with the Cologne-based AC+X Strategic Investments GmbH (the holding company of AACHENER Grundvermögen Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft mbh), the new shareholders not only help BRICKSPACES to obtain fresh capital, but also support it with valuable know-how and an extensive network. BRICKSPACES meets the core of the current change in Germany’s pedestrian zones and modern customer requirements with its focus on short-term placements of shops as well as event and marketing areas.

With the help of the new partners, BRICKSPACES is focusing on growth and a strong positioning in an extremely dynamic market that is characterized by the fact that more and more companies are implementing individual marketing and image strategies in the form of pop-up concepts. While companies benefit from a flexible and individual marketing strategy and advertise their product offline, landlords benefit by offering their space to new and attractive concepts. This makes the shopping experience in city centres more attractive and varied, which is advantageous for consumers and cities alike.

With its online marketplace brickspaces.de, the company procures shop premises and event space for flexible short-term rental. Through the new investors, BRICKSPACES gains valuable strategic support and relevant access to additional shop space.

With the entry of AC+X and BitStone, Johannes Hauswald and Marc Selicke have been appointed managing directors of BRICKSPACES.

“Together with our partners from AC+X Strategic Investments GmbH we are looking forward to the cooperation with the BRICKSPACES team and are convinced that our competences complement each other ideally in order to shape a successful future of BRICKSPACES and to contribute to the sustainable success of the pedestrian zone”. reports BitStone partner Manfred Heid.
