  • Aampere

    Participated · Seed · Jul 2026

    Founded in 2022 by three engineers from TU Munich, Aampere operates a transactional platform for the secondary used-EV market that combines a self-learning pricing algorithm, a digital condition and history check, and Europe-wide dealer auctions. Sellers (both private and commercial) receive a purchase offer within 48 hours, and Aampere pays before arranging collection from the seller’s home. The company reports selling several thousand EVs per year, more than 25 employees, and revenue that grew fourfold over the past 12 months after a reported 60% annual growth rate for three years. Aampere has positioned itself closer to Auto1’s dealer-auction model rather than listing sites, and competes with other dedicated used-EV platforms. With the new funding, Aampere plans to expand its marketplace across more European markets and scale seller acquisition.

  • MyARC

    Participated · Equity · Jan 2026

    MyARC provides fitness creators with no-code tools to launch and manage branded training apps that combine adaptive workout programming, meal planning, challenges, and community engagement features. The system automates personalisation of workouts, recipes, and nutrition plans so creators can serve large audiences without sacrificing individualised guidance. It also supports subscription-based business models, giving creators a scalable alternative to static programmes or one-to-one coaching. According to the company, thousands of daily active users on the platform have collectively logged hundreds of millions of minutes of training. Over the last two years, several creators on MyARC have generated seven-figure revenues, and average annual creator income sits in the high six-figure range. The newly raised capital will fund ongoing product development, broader creator toolsets, and global growth initiatives.

  • Vocal Image

    Participated · Seed · Aug 2025

    Vocal Image is an Estonia-based subscription app that uses AI to provide guided voice and communication coaching through exercises, guided journeys and automated feedback. The product includes an interactive library of tongue twisters, breathing exercises, gesture advice and AI-personalized tips aimed at professional and personal goals. The company leverages a GDPR-compliant dataset of roughly 35,000 recordings per day and over 1 million labeled real-voice samples collected via its community Voice Rating feature. Vocal Image reports 4 million app downloads, about 160,000 active users, and as of August claims $12 million ARR with roughly 50,000 paid users. The team of about 20 plans to expand its development team and roll out additional localizations beyond English, Spanish, German, French, Ukrainian and Russian. The startup joined accelerator Startup Wise Guys and was named one of five winners in a European AI Startup Program run by Hugging Face, Meta and Scaleway. Vocal Image is an AI-powered voice-training app that uses a proprietary AI to create individual coaching plans from a short audio clip and track client progress toward a user-specified result. The product is language-agnostic—the team says it analyses frequencies and trains users to control vocal muscles—and the company positions itself as an educational program rather than a medtech solution. Founders Nick Lahoika (CEO), Mikalai Karaliou (CTO) and voice coach Maryna Shukiurava built the app out of a popular Russian-language YouTube channel that started in 2018; the app launched in early 2021. The startup has collected multiple competition awards and has gained traction in Europe and North America. Vocal Image secured prize funding and intends to invest in marketing to scale in European and US markets.

  • Edurino

    Participated · Series B · Jul 2025

    EDURINO offers a platform that combines educational games, ergonomic input tools, animated characters and physical elements (figures and an ergonomic pen) to teach reading, logical thinking, coding and environmental knowledge. The product blends digital storytelling, age-appropriate interactive content and analogue play to create intuitive learning experiences for children aged four to eight. The company was founded in 2021 and has an interdisciplinary team of over 40 educators, game designers, psychologists and scientists; learning effects are evaluated with the University of Cambridge. EDURINO has sold over one million products and is used in more than 1,500 educational institutions. The company is developing a low-code system to enable content creation without manual programming. Future plans include new content such as video formats, hybrid digital-analogue products, integration with popular children’s brands, and international expansion including the UK. Edurino, founded in 2021 in Munich by Irene Klemm and Franziska Meyer, builds a hybrid learning platform combining a digital app, haptic play figures and an ergonomic stylus for children aged 4–8+. Its offering is used by more than 160 educational institutions and the company has sold over 100,000 products to families in the DACH region. Last year Edurino signed distribution agreements with over 10 major retail and online partners in the DACH region, including Media Markt, Saturn, Müller, Thalia and MyToys. The company employs a remote team of over 45 people. Edurino intends to use recent funding to accelerate international expansion within the DACH region. Edurino offers a hybrid learning system combining an ergonomic stylus, a toy fox named Mika and a learning app designed for preschoolers aged four and up. The product blends physical toy figurines with digital content so children learn through play while parents can track progress and regulate screen time. The app independently announces the end of play time and switches off when allotted screen time has elapsed, and the learning journey adapts to each child’s developmental stage. The company has tested integration in over 20 kindergartens and ran a crowdfunding campaign that exceeded its target by 60%. Founded by Irene Klemm and Franziska Meyer, Edurino is positioning itself to expand content beyond literacy into numeracy and to build a holistic learning system for preschool and older children. The startup plans to bring more figurines to market and launch its products in retail this year.
