Backing Along to make client agreements easier

We’ve invested in Along through Wow Yes (now Combination Ventures), joining its €1 million first funding round alongside APX, tiny.vc, Pareto, siesta ventures, pawao and angel investors.

Founded by Julian Philipp Nagel, Frederik Nagel and Thabo Mphuthi, Along is building a shared workspace for independent professionals, agencies and their clients. It brings proposals, pricing, documents and project details into one place, where both sides can discuss and agree on the work ahead.

For us, the opportunity lies in a familiar problem: reaching a clear agreement when information is scattered across emails, attachments and calls. Along is designed to give everyone a shared view of what is being proposed and what still needs a decision.

The funding will help the team expand its core product team and introduce the tool to selected users. We’re pleased to join Julian, Frederik and Thabo as they make the beginning of a client relationship easier to navigate.
