Structify provides a chat-driven platform and in-house models that crawl web and document sources to build custom datasets tailored to specific business questions. Customers specify data schemas, sources, and deploy AI agents to find, extract, and shape data, with every agent backed by human-in-the-loop QA. The product targets use cases across finance, construction, and enterprise tech, from extracting fields from pitch decks to turning geotechnical documents into tables and surfacing chain-of-command data for sales. Structify offers free and paid tiers — the free tier provides 1,000 rows of data per month, while pro and enterprise customers can fine-tune and deploy custom models on their own servers with advanced analytics and enterprise-grade security. The company emphasizes quality and accuracy via its state-of-the-art in-house model to avoid AI hallucinations and stale data. Structify plans to use its new funding to grow its technical team and refine its core model while building AI-driven workflows on top of its datasets.

Econic One develops and assembles smart electric bicycles with integrated proprietary hardware and software, including an app for consumers and fleet-management software for business customers. Its bikes are hand-assembled, customizable by frame color and tire size, and the company says its models feature the first integrated battery, engine, and GPS system; a single charge can provide roughly 140km of range. The company also offers related services such as purchase financing and insurance, and emphasizes in-house R&D to accelerate feature integration. Econic One grew to a 70-person team spread across hubs in Bulgaria, Germany, and the USA and reported a 500% increase in ARR last year. Management projects potential production of about 30,000 bicycles annually and—at an average price of ~€2K per bike—an estimated annual revenue of around €60M if the market continues to grow. With the new funding the company plans to expand sales into the DACH region and the USA, strengthen R&D, production, and technology teams, and accelerate bicycle and software product development.
