Three years ago, the founders of the start-up “Greenmnky” landed a deal on “The Lion’s Den”. The company is so successful today.
Cologne – The start-up “Greenmnky” has written a real success story since taking part in the VOX start-up show “Die Höhle der Löwen” in 2020. The company was able to increase its turnover from formerly 200,000 euros to a whopping 50 million euros, according to a post on the official “DHDL” account.
Nils Glagau and Carsten Maschmeyer enthusiastic
The manufacturer of protective films for smartphones and other devices convinced the lions Nils Glagau (47) and Carsten Maschmeyer (64) with his product and received a total of 400,000 euros from the two for 24 percent of the shares.
“Greenmnky” CEO Ziya Orhan praised the subsequent cooperation in a video on the “VentureLab” YouTube channel: “They gave us a lot of ideas but didn’t interfere,” he explained. But: “Whenever we needed them, they were there.”
The founders did not want to take part in the show at first. They didn’t consider themselves ready yet. They rejected two requests from the broadcaster, and only accepted the third time, as Orhan revealed. The prospect of 20 minutes of for their product and a sudden increase in their popularity ultimately convinced them.
“Greenmnky” is expanding worldwide
Meanwhile, “Greenmnky” is no longer only active in Germany. The company from Aschaffenburg now operates throughout Europe, South Africa, Dubai and Colombia. From the original three employees, the company has grown to 26 employees and 4,000 locations.
With his “eSelly” app, Olaf Zimmer would like to conquer the live shopping market – which is very well received by the “Lion’s Den” investors. In the end, however, the dream bursts. Sources used: Instagram, YouTube
