Düssel­dorf — ARQIS advi­sed the inves­tors in the first finan­cing round of the Colo­gne-based ice cream startup NOMOO, a brand of NRDS GmbH. A group of three venture capi­ta­lists ( Quest Solu­ti­ons GmbH, Siltho Rese­arch GmbH and AM1 Ventures GmbH) parti­ci­pa­ted in the invest­ment. Details of the finan­cing round were not disclosed.

NOMOO distri­bu­tes the first flavorful ice cream that is 100% plant-based. After a 600% growth of the brand in 2018, the growth is plan­ned to increase further in 2019.
