The story
VonWood was founded in 2021 as a B2B digital marketplace for professional timber, connecting construction and manufacturing buyers directly with sawmills to eliminate intermediaries and provide price transparency. The company raised €2.7M in seed funding in January 2023 from Dutch investors. Despite embedding working-capital lending via finmid to serve its marketplace participants, VonWood filed for bankruptcy in January 2025, unable to sustain operations.
