Aptimiz develops a data-collection tool for agricultural operations that aims to optimize the working time of farm operators. The company is based in Angers and has positioned itself as a specialist in improving farm labor efficiency. Following a prior capital increase in 2023 that included Demeter and Asterion, Aptimiz raised €1.4M in the most recent round to support international expansion. Investors in the new round include Demeter (Vitirev Innovation), Asterion, Kinvest, Marco&Co and the réseau sarthois. The company intends to deploy the funds primarily to internationalize its product and scale its commercial presence abroad.
