This week at daphni, we are elated to share two exciting updates with you!
🤝 To begin, we are happy to announce we have welcomed EPYR to our portfolio! The Parisian climate tech startup raised €3M in pre-seed funding, as they tackle industrial heat decarbonization with its smart thermal energy storage (TES) system.
🔥 Why did we invest? Cutting carbon from industrial heat is no small feat, as it accounts for a massive 20% of global CO2 emissions. While Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is a promising answer to this problem, making it work at scale calls for a bridge between tech and real-world industry. That’s where EPYR comes in. Their smart heat storage tech turns renewable electricity into stored heat, cutting down both emissions & energy costs!
♻️ This funding will allow EPYR to launch industrial-scale pilots, enhance AI-powered TES technology and expand its team. Thanks to EPYR’s technology, a cleaner, greener and more cost-effective future is on the horizon. 🌎
💜 Additionally, we are thrilled to share that Stockly has raised €26M in their Series B funding round. We’re proud to continue supporting Stockly as they continue to make strides in revolutionizing e-commerce. Stockly’s smart algorithms connect retailers to a shared stock network, solving inventory challenges and expanding product offerings without extra costs.
🚀 Over the last 7 years, Stockly has built Europe’s largest shared stock network, working with top brands like Galeries Lafayette & Decathlon. Last year, they hit 1M transactions & tripled their net income! We can’t wait to see them achieve new milestones in this next chapter. 🛍️
