6Wunderkinder builds Wunderlist, a cross-platform task-management app used by consumers and businesses. The app reports about 6 million users and 50,000 businesses, and has seen a 476% increase in daily activity over the past year. Product plans include releasing Wunderlist 3 with more real-time sharing and collaboration features, expanding its premium Pro offering, and launching an API and partner integrations. The company intends to integrate commercial content (for example, movie data and ticketing) to make lists more intelligent. 6Wunderkinder says it will use new funding to expand into the U.S. and to "turn the product into a platform." Engineering will remain in Berlin while CEO Christian Reber splits his time between Germany and the U.S.; the company’s CTO is Chad Fowler, hired from LivingSocial. Wunderlist is a free task-management app from 6Wunderkinder that launched Wunderlist 2 with native clients for iPhone, Mac, Android, Windows and the web. The company rebuilt the product natively after originally shipping a cross-platform version via Titanium to improve responsiveness, visuals and overall experience. Wunderlist 2 adds recurring tasks, subtasks, notes that can be attached and later uncoupled, a new Activity Center notification area, and expanded sharing options. The apps remain free and the service reports 3 million active users. 6Wunderkinder said it raised a funding round over the summer to support the relaunch, though the total was not disclosed. The team plans to introduce paid premium features in 2013 as its first attempt at revenue, targeting a small percentage of power users.
