Founded in 2016 and dual-headquartered in Amsterdam and Madrid, Twinco Capital advances financing at the purchase order stage—often advancing up to 60% of order value upfront and the remainder on delivery—by underwriting supplier performance risk using proprietary risk intelligence and real-time operational data. Since launch it has financed over $1B across thousands of transactions with zero credit losses and serves clients including Mango, Vertbaudet, Lojas Renner and Centric Brands. The company employs 44 people and has raised equity totaling roughly $73M to date. With the new €150M Santander-led securitisation and the €15M Series B, Twinco aims to scale and institutionalise purchase order finance as an investable asset class.

- Glacier
Participated · Series A · Apr 2025
Glacier develops low-cost robotic arms guided by computer vision to identify over 30 material types and automate sorting at materials recovery facilities (MRFs). Its robots have been deployed in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Phoenix and Seattle. The company offers robots as outright purchases or via lease-to-own, and provides training, spare parts and maintenance packages to customers. Glacier also sells a data product that gives MRFs, consumer-products companies, and government agencies insights into the waste stream and recycling performance. The startup, described in the article as six years old, plans to expand its robot fleet to more municipalities to address labor shortages and improve recycling rates. Financially, Glacier recently closed a $16 million Series A to support that expansion. Glacier is a Bay Area recycling robotics startup whose core products are a sorting robot deployed in recycling facilities and an AI scanner that tracks materials and packaging fate. Amazon is piloting the AI scanner to understand what happens to packaging after it reaches consumers. The company says it works with customers in 10 states and is forming partnerships with brands, Fortune 500 companies, and government agencies. Glacier has collaborated with the City of Phoenix and received a grant from the Michigan Department of Environment to support further deployments. Co-founders include CEO Rebecca Hu and Areeb Malik. The startup recently closed a new $7.7M funding round co-led by Amazon and NEA. Glacier builds compact, low-cost recycling robotics and automation systems designed for space-constrained sorting facilities. The company emphasizes three advantages—low cost, small size and easy install—and has conducted pilots and deployed its first commercial system at a facility in Los Angeles. Founded in 2019 and operating in stealth until the announcement, Glacier’s team combines AI and robotics engineers with founders Areeb Malik (formerly a software engineer at Facebook) and Rebecca Hu (formerly at Bain & Company). The team’s experience includes self-driving excavators and forklifts, extraterrestrial mining robots, humanoid disaster-response robots and AI models for medical detection. Glacier has opened preorders for its first commercial system and plans to use new funding to increase headcount and accelerate commercial deployment. The company positions its product as an alternative to larger, more expensive systems in the recycling space.
