- Look Up Space
Participated · Series A · Jun 2025
Look Up builds a global radar network (SORASYS) and digital platforms such as SYNAPSE to detect and analyse orbital objects and offer Space-Operations-as-a-Service. Founded in 2022 by Michel Friedling and Juan Carlos Dolado Perez, the company already operates a high-precision radar in France and plans two more in French Polynesia. Its full-stack solution also ties into the EU-backed ATLAS2 programme for automated low-Earth orbit safety. The startup had over 60 employees as of June 2025 and plans to reach 100 by year-end. Planned uses of the new funding include deploying additional radar units, launching a space operations centre, accelerating international expansion, and validating its service model with an in-orbit demonstration. Look Up positions itself to meet rising demand for coordinated space traffic management from public and private operators and to strengthen European sovereignty in space surveillance. Look Up Space is developing a global space-surveillance solution based on a worldwide network of radars and an innovative platform for massive fusion and processing of multi-source data. Its systems are designed to provide permanent, real-time, atmosphere-insensitive and precise surveillance capable of detecting centimeter-class objects. The company is building the SORASYS space-surveillance radar demonstrator and the SYNAPSE multi-source data fusion and processing platform, with plans to complete development by the end of 2024. Look Up Space targets institutional and private, civil and military customers with space security data and services. Led by Michel Friedling and Juan Carlos Dolado and based in Toulouse, the company will have more than 20 employees by September 1 drawn from French and European space and digital organisations, CNES and the French Ministry of the Armed Forces. It recently raised €14M (€7M private, €7M public subsidies) to support product development.
- Digibee
Participated · Series B · Jun 2023
Digibee offers a low-code integration platform and automated tools that let customers create reusable integration flows or pipelines using pre-built components and modules. Its cloud services support development and governance of integrations that connect on-premises and cloud-based processes, apps, services and data across organizations. The company targets enterprise customers and competes with legacy integration vendors such as MuleSoft, Boomi, Software AG and TIBCO as well as larger incumbents including Oracle, SAP, Microsoft and IBM. Digibee plans to drive AI capabilities into the platform and focus on developer enablement to boost productivity. The startup has roughly 280 employees and more than 250 customers, and intends to grow its workforce to over 300 by year-end. Management says recent funding will be used to expand growth in the U.S. and Latin America, with particular focus on expanding customer support in the U.S. Digibee is a low-code integration platform launched in 2017 that helps enterprises build and deploy integration workflows and turn those integrations into reusable business logic. The company also offers “Capsules,” packs of common integrations that can be shared across organizations. Current customers include Accenture, Brazilian stock exchange B3 and retail chain Carrefour. Digibee plans to use new funding to support a U.S. go-to-market strategy and to rapidly grow its employee base across functions. Leadership emphasizes hiring top sales talent to expand global operations and better serve multinational customers. The company positioned its product as addressing a major portion of software spend tied to integrations. Founded in 2017 by Rodrigo Bernardinelli, Peter Kreslins and Vitor Sousa, Digibee provides a platform that creates "connections" between management, sales, marketing and other enterprise systems. The company targets large customers and charges a monthly subscription for each connection, with a minimum contract of R$100,000. Its portfolio includes clients such as Santander, Dasa, Pernambucanas and Accenture, and it serves about 90 businesses. Digibee reported revenue of R$4.8 million in 2019 and aims to quadruple that figure within the year. Headcount grew from 30 to 50 employees and the company plans to reach about 100 employees by the end of 2020. Digibee intends to use new capital to invest in technology and to open a U.S. subsidiary and begin serving its first American customers.
