MONTREAL, April 20, 2020 – Birre & Co., a Montreal-based company offering beer lovers easy access to their favorite products, recently announced the launch of the second version of its mobile application. A second round of investment from Oliva Capital allows Birre & Co Inc. to obtain an injection of $ 500,000. Remember that last October, the company raised $ 375,000 thanks to two Montreal investment funds, Oliva Capital and Logient Venture Capital.

The new application includes various features including:

  • An algorithm and a beer recommendation system
  • An automatic barcode scanner
  • An extensive rewards system

“This injection will allow us to have the means of our ambitions and to grow at an accelerated rate. In fact, we will start hiring essential resources for the company’s growth plan very soon!” commented Julien-Karl Bellomo-Dugré, General Manager at Birre & Co.

“We are delighted to participate in this round of financing and to continue working with Birre & Co. and Logient Venture Capital” commented Julien Trussart, partner at Oliva Capital. “When the Birre & Co. team presented their project to us, there was no doubt that we wanted to contribute in one way or another.”
