Earlybird startup Bonagora files for bankruptcy 

Bonagora, a Berlin-based online marketplace for home fashion, filed for bankruptcy Tuesday. Bonagora, established in 2014, hoped to make the lives of traders and businesses easier. Early on the startup secured approximately €3.5 million from investors, such as Earlybird, Vogel Ventures and Makers.do. The reason the company is now filing for bankruptcy is that business in the Asian market did not pick up as planned.
