• Vitesy

  Led · Equity · Dec 2023

  Vitesy is a cleantech startup that develops green, intelligent solutions for people’s wellbeing, with Shelfy as its flagship product to combat food waste. Founded in 2016 by Paolo Ganis, Alessio D’Andrea and Vincenzo Vitiello, the company emphasizes technological innovation and market expansion. In 2023 Vitesy sold more than 12,000 Shelfy units across 80 countries and collected over €1 million in preorders via Indiegogo and Kickstarter. The company has raised a total of €10 million to date and recently secured an additional €3.2 million to further product development and scaling. Founders have retained about 80% of the equity and the firm maintains an employee stock option plan. Vitesy plans to use the new capital to boost R&D and push Shelfy into strategic markets in Europe, the US and Canada while continuing cleantech innovation. Vitesy develops IoT devices that purify and monitor indoor air by combining nature, nanomaterials, technology and design. Its product lineup includes Eteria, a compact filterless air purifier sold via ecommerce, and Natede Smart, and the company is rolling out a flowerpot that purifies indoor air. Eteria has already generated €1 million in pre-orders in 40 days. Vitesy raised €2.6 million in bridge funding to accelerate commercial expansion and the rollout of three new products. The company previously raised €1.2 million last year. Management says the funds will also be used to develop new partnerships as it targets the growing air-treatment and indoor-plant markets, estimated at $33 billion globally by 2023. Vitesy produces smart IoT devices that monitor and eliminate indoor air pollution using a combination of phytoremediation, photocatalysis and proprietary software. Its hardware is built on three technologies: plants to filter pollutants, a photocatalytic nanomaterial effective at killing viruses and bacteria, and algorithms that process sensor air-quality data. The company’s team of scientists, engineers and designers is developing Eteria, a portable at-home consumer purifier designed for living spaces and available for pre-order on IndieGogo. Vitesy raised €1.2 million in bridge funding, a mix of equity and debt, to accelerate commercial distribution and Eteria's development. Doorway led the round via its online investment platform, business angels also participated, and a €200,000 bridging loan completed the financing. Founded in 2015, co-founder and CEO Paolo Ganis framed the raise as proof that hardware startups are possible in Italy. Clairy makes a smart flowerpot that leverages real plants plus a technology unit with sensors to measure indoor pollution and connect to smartphones to communicate real-time data. The pots are handmade in Venetian ceramic. The company was created by Paolo Ganis, Alessio D’Andrea and Vincenzo Vitiello and is based in Pordenone, Italy. Clairy has previously raised over $370k via Kickstarter and Indiegogo and spent three months in Silicon Valley with the Plug and Play accelerator. It plans to launch a new Kickstarter campaign by the end of March 2018. The recently awarded funds will be used mainly for research and development and to hire talent.

• Eggtronic

  Participated · Series B · Dec 2022

  Eggtronic develops mixed-signal controller integrated circuits and power-conversion and wireless-power transfer solutions aimed at high power-density and sustainable applications. The company completed in-house development of its ICs and launched an ICs division in 2020, producing its first microchips since 2021. Eggtronic holds more than 320 international patents and reports millions of units shipped to date. The new funding is intended to support mass production, double the size of its global team, accelerate its semiconductor development roadmap, and expand research and engineering resources. The company was founded in 2012 and has offices in San Francisco, Modena, Taipei, and Guangzhou. Its technologies target reduced energy use, smaller product size, and enabling high-power wireless transfer with efficiency comparable to corded adapters. Eggtronic designs power electronics and wireless charging products and is developing data-over-power technologies intended for both consumer markets and B2B IC customers. It sells consumer chargers (including a sleek laptop charger and stone-shaped wireless chargers) and makes power-electronics components and white-labeled products for other brands. The company plans to scale by building an integrated circuits division at its research laboratories to produce ICs other manufacturers can use. Management says consumer and white-labeled products generate revenue that is reinvested into R&D to advance its capacitive wireless charging roadmap. Eggtronic has demonstrated capacitive wireless charging and data-over-power demos (smartphone in 2015, TV in 2017, two laptops in 2020) and claims the tech can match USB 3 speeds wirelessly. It operates offices and production facilities in the U.S., Italy and China and has filed several patents around capacitive power converters.
