  • Odoo

    Led · Seed · Apr 2026

    Founded in 2020 and headquartered in the United States, KisoFresh builds a data platform that delivers analytics and actionable insights to producers, buyers, and other agricultural supply chain actors. Its platform aggregates market signals, supply metrics, and quality indicators to reduce information asymmetry and improve pricing efficiency across sourcing and market access. The company has demonstrated early traction and recently secured a pre-seed financing round and acceptance into accelerator programs to support product development and go-to-market efforts. KisoFresh’s near-term plans include enhancing its analytics capabilities, expanding its user base, and demonstrating return-on-investment for smallholder farmers and other supply chain participants. Financially, the company has modest early-stage funding from the June 2025 pre-seed round, which is intended to provide runway for development, customer engagement, and preparation for future fundraising.

  • Inaam

    Led · Seed · Oct 2025

    Inaam operates a mobile platform that lets users build personalised impact-focused portfolios starting from $10 a month while embedding financial-literacy content throughout the experience. The app translates investment outcomes into tangible metrics such as trees planted, renewable energy generated, and carbon emissions avoided, helping users understand real-world effects and avoid greenwashing. Its investment methodology screens companies on financial soundness, impact contribution, and leadership integrity, and even applies psychosocial assessments of management teams. Designed to feel more like Duolingo or Notion than a traditional finance tool, Inaam targets socially conscious 18- to 30-year-olds and delivers daily “financial literacy word of the day” notifications. Formally registered in 2021, the startup has grown to a 13-person team covering engineering, marketing, and investment analysis. The recent $500,000 pre-seed raise fully funds its initial launch, though the founder is considering adding a co-founder to de-risk the business ahead of the next round.

  • Babaco Market

    Participated · Series A · Nov 2022

    Babaco Market operates a sustainable groceries subscription service that collects cosmetically imperfect but edible produce from about 100 producers and distributes them in curated food boxes. It markets and delivers in four Italian regions: Lombardy, Emilia Romagna, Veneto and Piedmont. The company shipped some 35,000 food boxes in 2021 and expects to more than double that figure this year. Babaco was founded in May 2020 by Francesco Gilberti and Luca Massaeretti, inspired by similar US startups. The startup highlights food-waste reduction as a core mission, noting at least 6% of the EU's greenhouse gas emissions come from food waste and pointing to the end of the EU ban on selling misshapen produce. Following its latest raise, Babaco plans an expansion drive into international markets and the recruitment of additional staff.

  • Sendcloud

    Participated · Series B · Nov 2020

    Sendcloud is a cloud-based platform that aggregates e-commerce technology and carriers to let retailers search for, pick and automate shipping, checkout, tracking, returns and analytics. It integrates with over 50 platforms including Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce and Amazon, and supports more than 35 carriers such as DHL, UPS, FedEx and DPD. The company offers freemium tiers with paid plans at €40, €89 and €179 per month. Sendcloud serves 23,000 customers and reported pre-lockdown annual growth of 70–80%, which rose to about 120% during lockdown, with parcel volumes up 133%. The startup positions itself as an alternative to Amazon-level fulfillment by providing scalable, integrated shipping services and emphasizes capital efficiency. It plans to double down on its SaaS shipping-as-a-service product and use the new investment to scale, with new board additions from its lead investors to support growth. Sendcloud offers an all-in-one SaaS shipping platform that automates the entire e-commerce shipping flow from checkout to returns, including carrier selection and returns management. The company has evolved from a simple API into a platform used by more than 15,000 customers across the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, and Austria. Sendcloud says its solution turns logistics from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage for retailers of all sizes and industries. The business has grown rapidly: headcount rose from 120 to 260 in one year and the company plans to hire 200 more employees to support growth. Recent expansion efforts include entry into the UK and increased focus on integrating more local and global carriers. The new capital is intended to accelerate international expansion and further automation of the shipping platform. SendCloud is an Eindhoven-based scaleup offering an all-in-one shipping software that lets online retailers connect to carriers through a single interface. Its platform connects to Correos, Correos Express, GLS and 20 other global carriers and their various shipping methods without additional cost. The product streamlines shipping and returns, aiming to reduce costs, save time, and help smaller retailers meet higher consumer expectations. SendCloud positions its solution to level the playing field for SMEs against larger e-tailers, noting logistics can represent over 20% of e-commerce revenue on average. The company has launched in Spain to address recurring issues in the Spanish shipping market and to help Spanish online retailers compete internationally. SendCloud recently closed a multimillion-euro investment to support this expansion. SendCloud provides a shipping tool for e-commerce platforms to optimize shipping and returns processes. Its platform offers multiple shipping options at checkout, faster order processing, customer notifications and automatic processing of European returns. The company was founded in 2012 by CEO Rob van den Heuvel and is based in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. SendCloud currently has a team of 55 employees and more than 10,000 users. It is active in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and Austria and intends to use the new funding to further expand into Europe. SendCloud provides cloud-based shipping software that helps online stores ship goods at competitive rates. The platform integrates with carriers such as DHL, PostNL and UPS to optimize end-to-end shipping and offers plugins and tools to select cost-effective shipping options, print labels, and send parcels. The service is already in use in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, and the company has an office in Munich. Led by CEO Rob van den Heuvel, SendCloud intends to use newly raised funds to expand into other European nations later in the year. The company raised €2m in funding from investors including TIIN Capital and the Brabant Development Agency (BOM). SendCloud was previously backed by Startupbootcamp, Sanoma Ventures and investment angels.
