Yasuu

Yasuu, founded in Munich, Germany in 2011 by Oliver Nützel and Florian Steiner, operated as an online marketplace for unique leisure activities. The platform was designed to connect individuals and small businesses offering experiences like cooking classes, sightseeing tours, and crafting workshops with a broader consumer audience. It functioned as an aggregator, allowing users to discover and book these local activities through its website, yasuu.de.

The company's business model centered on providing a promotional and booking platform for regional activity providers. In its founding year, Yasuu secured a seed funding round for an undisclosed amount from the venture capital firm HV Capital. This investment supported the startup's initial development and market entry. A significant milestone in the company's history was its acquisition by Regiondo in September 2012, approximately one year after its launch. Following the acquisition, the Yasuu brand and platform were absorbed, and the company is now considered deadpooled.
