Factor Eleven says it is a leading tech­no­logy company that provi­des adver­ti­sers with a one-stop soft­ware solu­tion for their cross-chan­nel campaigns. Foun­ded in 2014 by Alex­an­der Anhuth, the company uses proprie­tary algo­rithms and deli­vers not only Brand Safety, but also metrics-based and trans­pa­rent billing. FACTOR ELEVEN is conti­nuously deve­lo­ping its own tech­no­logy stack to auto­mate and simplify the process from campaign plan­ning to billing. Campaigns can be plan­ned and booked by all adver­ti­sers in both mana­ged and self-service (soft­ware-as-a-service) mode. At the same time, the plat­form hand­les digi­tal campaigns for over one thousand compa­nies. Custo­mers and part­ners include well-known compa­nies from the corpo­rate, agency and SME sectors. The company curr­ently employs just under 100 people and is active on the Austrian and French markets in addi­tion to the German market. Other inter­na­tio­nal markets will follow.

The invest­ment holding company Armira invests prima­rily in tech­no­logy compa­nies. It offers closed-end alter­na­tive invest­ment funds that acquire equity inte­rests in medium-sized compa­nies in Germany and, where appro­priate, in Austria and Switz­er­land. The focus is on family busi­nesses and tech­no­logy. The focus is on the long-term deve­lo­p­ment of the companies.
