  • GALVANY

    Led · Seed · Jun 2026

    GALVANY develops a connected energy platform centred on its proprietary GALVANY Cube hardware and GALVANY Fusion energy management software, integrating heat pumps and battery storage. The Cube is produced in partnership with Panasonic in Pilsen and the platform combines acquisition, installation and ongoing system management into a single solution. The company targets existing multi-family residential buildings and operates a network-based model to improve efficiency across the value chain. GALVANY has installed more than 2,500 heat pump systems and reported €20.1 million in revenue in 2025 while posting positive EBIT. Near-term plans include rolling out its platform more broadly across Germany and launching a consumer app for users to monitor and manage their energy systems digitally.

  • Plume

    Led · Equity · Apr 2026

    Plume builds a platform that centralises more than 150 continuously updated geographical datasets and deploys AI agents that reason over thousands of unstructured documents to produce territorial site intelligence. Its system synthesises structured geospatial layers (grid capacity, protected areas, zoning, land parcels) and unstructured regulatory information (municipal deliberations, permit histories, environmental studies) to accelerate prospecting, permitting and grid connection. According to the company and its clients, Plume enables site analyses up to 20 times faster and three times more accurate versus traditional manual processes. Founded by Edouard Labarthe (ex-Palantir) and Marc Watine (ex-Harvard researcher) and incubated by Y Combinator, Plume is deployed in France, Spain, Romania and the Czech Republic and aims to expand to Italy and the U.S. in 2026. The company is using the new funding to expand the team, enter new markets and develop advanced AI features such as stakeholder mapping, competitive intelligence and automated permit application drafting.

  • AENU

    Led · Equity · Apr 2026

    AENU is presented in the article as the backer of a YC alum who founded a startup creating a Bloomberg Terminal-like platform for clean energy developers. The piece focuses on the startup's €3.3M raise and includes the pitch deck used to secure funding. AENU's role is described as the lead backer in the disclosed raise. The article does not provide operational metrics such as revenue or users, nor does it list the startup's founding year or location. It also does not detail specific plans for the use of proceeds beyond the general context provided in the pitch deck coverage.

  • Entrix

    Participated · Equity · Mar 2026

    Entrix builds and operates a portfolio of battery storage systems across core European markets, offering end-to-end optimisation and market participation. Its platform manages more than 70 systems and a contracted capacity of 3 GW / 8.5 GWh, with 2 GW expected to be operational in 2026. Entrix runs local teams and offices in Germany, Italy, Spain and Poland, with Germany as its largest market by capacity. The company uses AI-driven trading and optimisation to participate in balancing services, day-ahead and intraday markets, translating battery performance into revenue. Founded in 2021, Entrix has grown from running one of Germany’s first large-scale battery projects into a sizable flexibility operator that it says is equivalent in scale to roughly three nuclear power plants or the peak demand of about three million households.

  • ScyAI

    Led · Seed · Feb 2026

    ScyAI is a Zurich-based startup that has built a risk-intelligence platform for organisations managing extensive real-asset portfolios such as manufacturing plants and energy facilities. The software ingests customers’ operational data and combines it with external hazard models to generate detailed, auditable risk profiles that mirror the metrics used by insurance underwriters. By making site-specific risk transparent, the tool enables companies to identify coverage gaps, negotiate improved policy terms and, according to early users, lower their premiums. The company positions its product as a solution to the growing protection gap created by climate-driven natural catastrophes and coarse insurance pricing models. CEO and founder Bernhard Rannegger emphasises that rising physical climate risks are becoming a core operational and financial concern for asset-heavy industries. ScyAI plans to use its newly raised capital to refine the platform and expand its reach to additional sectors with significant infrastructure exposure. The €2 million pre-seed round provides the company with its first external institutional capital, anchoring its initial go-to-market efforts.
