Participated · Series A · Jun 2026
Founded in 2021, Hydra Host began by serving cryptocurrency miners and has pivoted to offer automation software for data center operators and an AI server brokerage platform.

The company completed a $100 million project funding round led by Kindred Ventures that values it at close to $800 million post-money, with participation from Nvidia, ARK Invest, Magnetar Capital, Founders Fund, and Flume Ventures.

- Qorelo
Participated · Seed · Jun 2026
Founded in late 2025, Qorelo has developed an AI-powered platform that automates repetitive functional delivery workstreams in SAP upgrade and migration projects. The platform serves as a continuous system of record for ERP delivery and is designed to reduce complexity and resource constraints in large-scale transformations. Qorelo says its technology can shorten project timelines by up to 45%, and it is already piloting deployments with enterprise customers in the DACH region, including a major German automotive company. The company launched five months before the seed raise and plans to use the $3.5M in fresh capital to accelerate product development and expand engineering, SAP expertise, and enterprise sales headcount.

Founded in 2025 and headquartered in Hamburg, Logicc has developed a GDPR-compliant, zero-knowledge AI platform hosted on German servers to serve lawyers, doctors, tax advisors and public institutions.

Logicc surpassed €1 million ARR in just over six months and today counts over 1,800 organisations as customers.

- Harper
Participated · Series A · Mar 2026
Harper Insure combines proprietary artificial-intelligence models with traditional brokerage expertise to modernize the way U.S. businesses buy commercial insurance. Its platform automates tasks such as reading applications, routing submissions, and following up with underwriters, enabling clients to obtain coverage in 24–48 hours instead of weeks. In just 13 months, the San Francisco-based firm has served more than 5,000 businesses across industries like manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, transportation, and construction. The brokerage maintains relationships with over 165 insurance carriers and underwriters, allowing it to place a broad spectrum of commercial policies. Rather than licensing its software, Harper owns the customer relationship end-to-end, embedding AI directly into its workflow to improve efficiency and transparency. Newly raised capital will fund expansion of engineering, account management, and operations teams, deepen carrier partnerships, and enhance the underlying AI systems. The company’s vision is to provide every business—regardless of size—with the speed and sophistication in insurance placement typically reserved for large enterprises.
- Raus
Participated · Equity · Feb 2026
Founded in 2021 by Johann Ahlers, Dr. Christopher Eilers and Julian Trautwein, Raus operates a platform that places carefully designed, mobile cabins on unused rural land, offering guests short, uncomplicated escapes from urban life. Beyond accommodation, the company layers on extras such as alpaca walks, farm visits, guided meditation and local food packages, creating a holistic nature experience. Raus partners closely with land-owners, helping them monetize idle acreage while expanding its own inventory; within two years it has hosted thousands of guests across more than 50 cabins in nine German states. In 2023 the startup reports 500 % year-over-year revenue growth, a five-fold increase in guest numbers and a more-than-tripled volume of new bookings. The firm recently opened its first upscale nature resort, the Lodge am See in Lenzen, inside a UNESCO biosphere reserve. With fresh capital, Raus plans to launch a technology-enhanced “Cabin 2.0”, optimise its proprietary booking system and expand beyond Germany, starting with Austria, while adding more community sites and supplementary products to its platform. Distinguished backers from Airbnb, HomeToGo, TIER Mobility and others underscore strong investor confidence in the model.
