Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Amsterdam, Root Sustainability provides a software platform that centralizes a company’s environmental data to automatically generate product-level and organization-wide life-cycle assessments (LCAs). By aggregating previously scattered operational data across the value chain, the system delivers actionable insights that help clients optimize sustainability performance and decarbonize operations. The startup counts retailers such as HEMA, O’Neill, and Holland & Barrett among its early customers. Root Sustainability’s product roadmap includes enhancing its artificial-intelligence capabilities to streamline data optimization and broaden decarbonization recommendations. The recently secured seed capital will also support the company’s planned expansion across Europe. Although detailed revenue or user metrics were not disclosed, the new funding represents its first institutional round and solidifies its financial foundation for growth.

Yasu is building what it calls the world’s first AI Cloud Engineer, an autonomous agent that embeds cost-optimisation directly into software-development workflows and prevents waste before code is deployed. The platform delivers average savings of 35 % for its early customers and currently manages €3.9 million in cloud spend across companies such as alpha.One, TRaiCE and Smiler. By introducing real-time, agentic intelligence, Yasu tackles the €512 billion in annual cloud overspend within the €1.6 trillion global cloud infrastructure market, a problem exacerbated by a 30 % jump in generative-AI-related workloads. Founded in 2025 and headquartered in the Netherlands, the company positions its product as an AI engineer for every development team rather than another post-deployment monitoring tool. Proceeds from its latest funding will be used to expand go-to-market operations across key European markets, advance its agentic AI capabilities and further develop the autonomous optimisation platform.
