- OpsMill
Led · Series A · May 2026
OpsMill builds Infrahub, an infrastructure data management platform that models environments as a network of relationships rather than static assets and is designed as a system of record for IT. Infrahub is built on a graph database with native version control and is offered as a free open-source Community edition alongside a commercial Enterprise version. The platform enables teams to manage dependencies, validate changes, and maintain governance through a structured DevOps workflow. OpsMill targets large infrastructure operators and enterprises across retail, manufacturing, and financial services and has already seen adoption in those sectors. The company emphasizes delivering a unified, trusted data layer to support safe, scalable automation and AI-driven operations. With fresh Series A funding, OpsMill plans to scale the product and expand to meet increasing demand for AI-ready infrastructure data solutions.
- Escape
Participated · Series A · Mar 2026
Escape builds AI agents that automate the entire security lifecycle, from attack-surface discovery through continuous testing and remediation, directly within engineering workflows. Founded by CEO Tristan Kalos and CTO Antoine Carossio, the platform replaces legacy scanners and manual penetration-testing processes with software that simulates attacker behaviour in live systems to uncover configuration, authentication, and business-logic flaws. In a recent assessment, Escape’s technology scanned 5,600 publicly available applications and surfaced more than 2,000 high-impact vulnerabilities, including 175 instances of personal-data exposure, demonstrating its ability to operate at scale and speed. The company positions itself as a solution for security teams that are outnumbered and overwhelmed by the pace of AI-driven software development. With fresh capital, Escape plans to deepen its AI agent capabilities—such as logic-aware penetration testing—and to grow its engineering and go-to-market teams. Expansion efforts will target enterprise customers across the United States and Europe. No revenue figures were disclosed in the article.
- pyck
Led · Seed · Mar 2026
Founded in 2023 in Schwäbisch Hall by Dr.-Ing. Daniel Jarr, Maximilian Mack and Matthias Nagel, pyck is developing what it claims to be the first open-source toolkit purpose-built for AI-driven warehouse logistics. The modular software allows logistics providers and e-commerce companies to tailor processes and integrate new technologies far more easily than with traditional, monolithic WMS products. According to the founders, customers can implement warehouse processes up to 60 % faster and at lower cost compared with conventional systems. Just one year after market launch, three large logistics enterprises are already rolling out the solution. The company intends to broaden its product by releasing a tool for user-friendly data-type management and by making it easier to plug in additional technologies and partners. Proceeds from its recent seed financing will also fund team expansion and international go-to-market efforts. No revenue figures were disclosed in the article.
- Nala Earth
Participated · Seed · Nov 2025
Founded in Berlin in 2023 by Nick Zumbühl, Nicolas Somogyi and Anna Alex, Nala Earth has built a nature intelligence platform that combines a global database of scientifically validated environmental data from more than 50 sources with proprietary AI models that analyse satellite imagery. The software lets corporates quantify dependencies and impacts on ecosystems, manage risks such as biodiversity loss or water scarcity, and comply with emerging regulations like the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). It shortens biodiversity and nature-related reporting cycles from months to days and is aligned with frameworks such as TNFD and the Science Based Targets Network. The company already counts ten paying customers, including projects with Volkswagen and partnerships with BASF and Continental, through which over 3,000 hectares of natural assets are being managed on the platform. Demand is accelerating as executives face mounting pressure to integrate environmental considerations into procurement, operations and investment decisions. With fresh capital, Nala Earth plans to broaden its product capabilities and unlock new use cases across nature and biodiversity management.
- Popsink
Led · Seed · Oct 2025
Popsink has built a Change Data Capture (CDC) solution that continuously streams changes from legacy sources—such as ERP, CRM, mainframes, and Oracle/IBM databases—and replicates them in real time to modern environments like Snowflake, Databricks, and Iceberg. By removing the need for heavy data migrations, the platform offers enterprises a secure, low-risk path to feed analytics, business intelligence, and generative AI projects with live operational data. Co-founded by Benjamin Djidi, a former Amazon and Sixt engineering leader, and CTO Alexandre Colella, Popsink positions itself as the critical ‘invisible bridge’ between operational cores and intelligence layers. The technology targets companies struggling to modernize data stacks amid growing pressure for real-time AI readiness and data sovereignty. Following strong demand for real-time infrastructure, the startup plans to double its workforce, accelerate product development, and extend its market presence across Europe and North America. No revenue or user figures were disclosed in the article.
