KOMPAS VC has closed a new fund and is expanding its global presence
The KOMPAS VC firm has closed its second venture capital fund, raising a final total of €150 million. This result is all the more impressive given the current slowdown in venture capital activity in the sector. The new fund will continue the firm’s mission of supporting startups focusing on industrial technologies. The company works with projects in the early stages of development.
KOMPAS is a major player in the European venture capital market. Its activities focus on projects considered relevant to the region and the world as a whole. These include startups offering decarbonisation and productivity solutions.
Relevance of activities
The industrial and construction sectors remain key sources of carbon emissions. Their lack of flexibility makes them vulnerable to global challenges such as supply chain disruption and digitalisation. KOMPAS specialises in these sectors, making them more sustainable and technologically advanced.
Supported startups develop innovations and solutions that align with sustainability principles. The new fund will invest in 25 projects in the following areas:
- improving the efficiency of industrial processes;
- reducing CO₂ emissions;
- protecting business processes from external and internal threats;
- increasing the resilience of enterprises to global risks.
It is important to note that the fund does not simply invest in projects. The company’s strategy is based on a comprehensive approach to each startup. Over the years, KOMPAS has accumulated extensive industry experience, which it shares with newcomers. The company has also formed a wide network of partnerships. This allows solutions to be tested efficiently and products to be launched on the market quickly.
The fund is already investing in promising projects, including:
- Prewave. A risk management platform that helps eliminate vendor failures.
- Makersite. An artificial intelligence solution that helps with product design and supply chain optimisation.
- Again. The startup’s product converts carbon dioxide into acetate and other chemical compounds.
- Ecoworks. A platform for retrofitting buildings to achieve zero emissions.
- Findable. An Artificial Intelligence solution for automating property documentation.
These startups demonstrate how KOMPAS investments are contributing to the sustainable transformation of the industrial sector. The company focuses on projects that combine environmental and economic efficiency.
Company plans
The capital raised creates new growth opportunities. KOMPAS plans to grow its investment and operations teams, expand platform functions, and enter new markets. Over the next few years, the company intends to establish a strong presence in the US, Israel and other technologically advanced countries.
Thus, KOMPAS VC strengthens its status as a leading player in venture capital investments in sustainable industrial technologies. The company is creating the conditions for systemic change in key sectors of the economy.
