💡 We’re thrilled to announce our investment in Churned, co-founded by Michiel Doornenbal, Maarten, and Francisco! 🚀 Churned's AI-powered platform helps subscription-based businesses improve customer retention and revenue by predicting churn and identifying upsell opportunities through data-driven automation. 🗣️ Patrick Polak, our Managing Partner, who led the investment, shares: "We are impressed by Churned’s AI, which replaces rule-based customer success systems.

Joining the wave of excitement: we’re happy to announce the acquisition of Swipeguide, the European trailblazer for mobile-first frontline training and visual job aids for the manufacturing workforce, by L2L, the global leader in connected workforce solutions. Swipeguide, founded in 2017 by Willemijn and Daan out of Amsterdam, started with the mission to simplify the way people work and learn at the frontline - a shared vision for both parties. By integrating Swipeguide to its platform, L2L, based out of Salt Lake City, will help global manufacturers make greater strides in operational availability, manufacturing performance, product quality, and workforce enablement. Backing the team since their Seed-round, we participated in the incredible journey of an outstanding team, growth and market expansions to build out a category leader that started out digitising work instructions for shop floor workers. Moving to the US during the Covid pandemic, Willemijn and Daan exemplified over the many years what outstanding and whole-heartedly committed leadership means. The whole Newion team says congratulations to the SwipeGuide team! Willemijn Schneyder, Daan Assen, Nick Jacobs, Mathijs de Wit, Lisa-Maria R., Eva De Mol Ph.D, Janneke Niessen, Leonard Schmid, Marie-Helene AMETSREITER, Alphons Mulders and Walter Brunink
