Case name

  • EnBW New Ventures, Capnamic, WEPA Ventures, and xdeck invest in Cologne-based startup offering a central system for sustainability requests.
  • Pressure mounts on companies in key supply chains to provide meaningful data for sustainability reporting, ratings, and customer requests.
  • һԹ¹'s software makes required data usable for various requirements in seconds.

Cologne, February 27, 2024 һԹ¹ announced its Seed financing only in May 2023. Now, the startup is expanding it to 5 million euros through fresh capital from EnBW New Ventures and existing investors Capnamic Ventures, WEPA Ventures, and xdeck ventures. With the automation software already being used cross-industry by suppliers, retailers, manufacturing brands, and publicly traded corporations, һԹ¹ invests the new capital to support its rapid growth.

Synchronized sustainability data on demand

Companies are increasingly pressured to provide critical sustainability data for reporting, ratings, and customer inquiries, with demands rising for both qualitative and quantitative data.

"With 11,700 companies currently affected by reporting obligations, the number of indirectly affected suppliers and partners is already significantly higher. Eventually, all companies will be required to disclose their ESG data. With increasing requirements, a central system for the accurate transmission of this data is crucial," says Pascal Beckers, Principal at EnBW New Ventures.

һԹ¹ offers companies a flexible platform to map the multitude of sustainability requests, manage associated projects, and fulfill necessary tasks. һԹ¹ focuses on making the existing data dynamically usable for different needs, establishing the software solution as a crucial tool for users.

"The transformation to more sustainability is at risk of failing before it has even begun. һԹ¹ aims to drive the transformation by automating processes with AI-powered technology and significantly increasing the productivity of companies in meeting diverse requirements," explains Lukas Vogt, Co-Founder and CEO at һԹ¹.

AI-powered answers in seconds

Every incoming request in һԹ¹ is synchronized in real-time for all users and can be processed immediately. Using AI, the system understands complex sustainability requirements, matches them with existing quantitative and qualitative data points, and assists experts in generating answers in seconds.

The new capital will now be used for further technological development and expansion of the sales and tech teams.
