Uberchord Engineering, a high-tech company in mobile music instrument training, has secured a high six-figure seed investment, led by the largest guitar magazine publisher in Europe: Ebner Publishing. Because the lead-investor comes from Germany the founders decided to build their start-up in Berlin and not in Switzerland.
Uberchord is developing a mobile app that listens to students play guitar and provides personal coaching to help them improve. The firm's patent-pending audio recognition technology allows for a radically new learning concept and teaches students the language of music.
In the last years the company founders were active in Switzerland, they have been awarded at venture 2014 and at venture kick and they pitched at several occasions. However the team has never concealed, that they will start the company where it makes most sense. And this is Berlin: “After we got in touch with our lead investor from Germany we have decided in favour of the start-up ecosystem in Berlin”, co-founder Eckart Burgwedel told startupticker.
Next month, the company plans to launch its first product: a chord trainer for iPhone. "We are pleased by the interest of all our seed investors, but are especially honored to be recognized by Ebner Publishing." said Eckart Burgwedel, CEO & Co-Founder of Uberchord. "This investment will allow us to scale faster, bringing our innovative music-learning software to the market globally."
Uberchord is at the moment showcasing the beta version of their chord trainer at SXSW's Startup Spotlight and Music Gear Expo in Austin.
