What a week! Since our last newsletter, we had the pleasure of introducing 3 novel startups who we believe are transforming their respective sectors. From making education guidance transparent to making solar power available at any time, to simplifying complex sales through conversational AI, we are proud to back each of these startups. Let’s get to know them! ⬇️
🎓Edumapper: Finding higher education programs is no easy feat, and with limited access to reliable information, many students struggle to find the right fit, leading to a huge annual loss of €2 billion in France alone. This is why we believe in Edumapper’s mission to make school information more accessible and transparent! Raising €5M in pre-seed funding, their free platform gives students easy access to key details on 30,000+ higher education programs across France and many more internationally. From program specifics to application steps and direct connections with alumni, Edumapper is transforming education guidance by providing students with clear, data-driven insights. Let’s continue to empower the next generation of leaders!
🔋Moonwatt: The Amsterdam-based startup raised €8M to further its vision of making solar power dispatchable at any time, anyplace, and at an affordable price! With electricity demand surging and solar needing 25% annual growth to meet climate goals, their modular design based on sodium-ion battery technology will improve the efficiency of the energy storage system, while reducing the environmental cost. Moonwatt is redefining energy grids, turning renewables into a 24/7 powerhouse, and driving a future where clean energy is the norm. It’s easy to say that we’re over the moon about Moonwatt!
