• Swobbee

  Participated · Series A · Apr 2023

  Swobbee provides rental batteries and battery-swapping stations designed for urban micromobility and last-mile logistics. The company runs stations equipped with 8 to 30 battery slots and currently supports charging infrastructure for 8 (soon 10) battery types. In Europe this compatibility covers roughly 70% of current light electric vehicles (LEVs) used by shared micromobility and delivery operators. Its multi-modal approach lets vehicle owners or managers swap an empty battery for a full one in minutes, reducing vehicle downtime. Swobbee began as GreenPack, was founded in 2017 and pivoted to the Swobbee platform in 2020. The company recently raised additional capital, signaling continued expansion of its charging and swapping operations into new markets. Swobbee builds compact, sub‑1‑square‑meter battery‑swapping stations designed to serve e-bikes, cargo bikes, kick scooters and small mopeds. Its stations can host six different battery types and the company plans to onboard two more types this year to broaden compatibility with OEM batteries. Since founding in 2017 it has worked with logistics and shared-mobility customers including Hermes, DHL Logistics, DPD and Tier Mobility, and the company reports more than 50 stations overall (19 public stations are listed in its app). Swobbee raised a $6.5M Series A led by EIT InnoEnergy and sits at a pre‑money valuation of about €30M (~$33M). The startup plans to use the funds and InnoEnergy’s network to build out its swapping network across Germany and into two additional European countries and to pilot a B2C battery‑sharing model with the European Union. Management aims to expand fleet and consumer customers and expects to raise a double‑digit A+ later in the year to add a strategic partner.

• Solytic

  Led · Equity · Mar 2022

  Solytic provides an energy monitoring platform that uses AI to create a digital twin of PV installations and assess performance. The company focuses on automatic performance assessment through its analytical model and real-time analytics. It has operated in the German PV market since 2017 and monitors close to 200,000 independent distributed PV installations, accumulating a database of more than 50 TB. Solytic works with international brands such as Kostal and Vaillant. The new capital will be used for further product development and to build AI-based care technology for PV installations. The company plans to start operations in Poland and Western Europe and is seeking partners among companies that install and operate PV systems. Solytic is a Germany-based PV monitoring software startup that has released an online tool comparing major commercially available solar monitoring platforms. The comparison evaluates ten criteria, including platform cost per 1 MW generated annually, requirement for additional hardware, ticketing systems, configurable performance reports, error detection and interpretation, irradiation data, performance-ratio calculation, and distinction between string plan and digital twin/portfolio management. Solytic’s platform scored best in the comparison, registering the lowest platform cost per 1 MW, requiring no additional independent hardware, and offering all tracked features. Gantner’s Web Portal, Quantum’s Renewable Cloud and Synaptiq were also evaluated, with Gantner roughly 55% more expensive per MW and the others not publicly sharing per‑MW costs; Synaptiq alone was scored to offer optional string plan/digital twin distinguishment. In March Solytic secured what it described as "a medium seven‑digit sum in its Series A round," roughly $9 million, with key investments from Vattenfall, EWE and THELO Investors. Following the funding announcement the company said it plans to expand monitoring coverage from 100,000 PV plants to 1,000,000 within three years.
