- SatVu
Participated · Series A · May 2023
SatVu is a UK-based thermal Earth-observation company that captures 3.5-metre resolution infrared imagery day and night to provide intelligence on buildings, industrial sites, and other strategic assets. Its data helps government, defence, and industrial customers detect heat signatures linked to operational changes, assess readiness, and monitor climate-related emissions. The company currently operates a single demonstration satellite but is transitioning to a multi-satellite constellation; two new satellites are slated for launch in 2026 and a further three are already under contract. This expanded fleet will boost revisit frequency, enabling near-continuous monitoring of global activity. Beyond defence, SatVu’s imagery supports sectors such as steel, cement, data centres, oil & gas, and solar energy. Following the latest raise, SatVu has secured £60 million in total equity funding to date, providing capital for constellation build-out and commercial scaling.
- Enter
Participated · Series A · Apr 2023
Enter provides digital building intelligence and AI-driven renovation planning to accelerate energy-efficient retrofits. Its app digitally records any property in minutes, capturing material analysis, energy status, and modernisation needs while a proprietary AI engine generates tailored renovation paths adjusted for CO₂ pricing, subsidy programs, energy costs, and climate targets. The platform automatically suggests implementation partners from a nationwide network of over 100 qualified contractors and automates assessments, quote generation, and compliance with subsidy programs. Enter reports a 70% reduction in manual steps for energy assessments, a 60% decrease in operational staff requirements, and says one employee now performs the work of four energy consultants; over 30,000 buildings were fully analysed in Q2 2025. Founded in 2020, the company is scaling across Germany to address the large stock of European buildings needing upgrades. Financially, Enter has raised €40 million since founding and is using its recent Series B funding and prior technology investments to bring its technology to the mass market. Enter (formerly Baupal) offers a digital home energy assessment platform that asks eight to nine questions to produce a data-rich profile (about 250 data points) and estimates of energy-saving potential with roughly 90% accuracy. The service generates a digital twin of the building, recommends energy-efficiency measures, handles subsidy applications, and arranges site visits by Enter’s own energy consultants to verify data. Enter packages project planning and financing options to address homeowners’ concerns about affordability—citing that 75% of homeowners worry they can’t afford renovations. The company’s technology is positioned to accelerate renovation volumes beyond the capacity of traditional certified consultants. Leadership and advisers include co-founders/managing directors Justus Menten and Max Schroeren and a set of business angels and industry advisers referenced in reporting.
