- deeplify
Led · Seed · Mar 2026
deeplify develops an end-to-end AI platform that connects workflows from raw sensor data to automated defect analysis and auditable reporting for industrial inspection and asset integrity management. The platform aims to replace fragmented, manual workflows—such as spreadsheets, static documents, analogue imagery, and manual reporting—with a unified, digital-first system to reduce inspection time, minimise errors, and improve traceability. The solution is grounded in real-world industrial experience from early projects that revealed significant inefficiencies. deeplify completed an initial deployment with Open Grid Europe and ran pilots with SKF, and its platform is used by inspection firms serving global energy companies including Shell. The company is based in Germany. The newly raised €2.0M pre-seed round will be used to expand platform capabilities and accelerate sector deployments across energy, oil and gas, chemicals, and transportation.
- CertHub
Participated · Seed · Jan 2026
CertHub offers an AI-first platform that streamlines regulatory compliance for medical-technology companies by automating Quality Management Systems, Technical Documentation, and audit-ready workflows integrated with Notified Bodies. Its software has already been used in validated pilots and real audits, with customers citing 40–80% time savings and roughly 60% faster time-to-certification under the EU Medical Device Regulation. By reducing cost, uncertainty, and regulatory friction, the solution aims to accelerate the introduction of critical medical technologies to market. The company’s roadmap includes scaling adoption among European MedTech manufacturers, deepening integrations with Notified Bodies, and entering additional regulatory jurisdictions such as the United States and China. Future product development will focus on AI-driven audit, documentation, and agentic compliance features. The recent seed financing provides the capital required to fund these expansion efforts.
- CERPRO
Led · Seed · Nov 2025
Founded in 2023, Berlin-based CERPRO is building an intelligent quality management platform for manufacturers. Its first product, QualiSpec, uses computer vision and AI to detect, interpret, and structure features directly from technical drawings, creating digital inspection plans in minutes. Since the software’s market launch in December 2024, more than 100 small- and medium-sized enterprises in aerospace, medical devices, and mechanical engineering have adopted it, citing over 80 % faster quality processes and implementation times measured in days. The company is now extending its technology upstream into design-for-manufacture and predictive quality so potential issues can be flagged earlier in the product lifecycle. Future plans include linking quality data between OEMs and suppliers to provide industry-wide transparency and traceability. Recent funding has put the company on a path to accelerate product development, expand sales, and deepen its European footprint.
- Eventpage AI
Participated · Seed · Nov 2025
Founded in 2024 by Lasse Schmitt and Julian Wendorf, Eventpage AI develops a platform that turns a short briefing into a fully designed, personalized event page. The product blends capabilities similar to ChatGPT for text, Canva for design, and Mailchimp for email distribution, enabling organizers to handle invitations, communication, and promotion from a single hub. The founders previously built the sports- and lifestyle-focused agency B2M Creative, giving them deep domain expertise. After a soft-launch in July 2024, the company reported a six-figure revenue within its first six months and attracted customers such as Mizuno Corporation, Munich Innovation Ecosystem, and EHF Marketing (European Handball Federation). With the new funding, Eventpage AI intends to scale its offering and cement its presence across the German-speaking market. The startup has also been accepted into the Campus Founders' "AI Founders" accelerator, which will provide additional resources and mentorship. Ultimately, the team aims to make event organization as simple and accessible as Canva made design.
