\n

Atmen has raised five million euros in a seed financing round. The round was led by Berlin-based VC Project A. Existing investors such as Revent and Vireo Ventures participated again. Experienced angel investors such as Axel Stepken, former CEO of T\u00dcV S\u00fcd; Martina Merz, former CEO of ThyssenKrupp; and serial entrepreneur Christian Vollmann, who has invested in Trivago and SumUp, among others, also participated. This brings the startup's total funding to 6.3 million euros<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breathing develops a IoT and SaaS platform<\/a>, which enables manufacturers of energy-intensive goods such as hydrogen, steel, or fertilizers to certify their products more efficiently. The platform captures real-time data directly from industrial processes and automates sustainability certification. This enables companies to create digital product passports, quantify emissions, and obtain government-recognized certificates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

"We are simplifying and scaling product certification, transforming a traditional bottleneck into a competitive advantage. Given Europe's limited access to fossil fuels, the transition to renewable energy requires stronger systems for verifying clean energy products\u2014and that's exactly what we're building,"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

explained Flower of Durfort<\/strong>, CEO and co-founder of Atmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atmen focuses on growth in team and product breadth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the funding, the startup plans to expand its current team of eleven. The certification of other energy-intensive goods \u2013 beyond hydrogen and e-fuels \u2013 is also a focus. Atmen also aims to strengthen its ties with regulatory authorities and certification bodies to make it easier for companies to comply with new sustainability requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mila Cramer<\/strong>, Principal at Investor Project A, commented:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIn a world where industrial competitiveness depends on traceable, low-carbon supply chains, Atmen is building the digital backbone that transforms complex production inputs into compliant, marketable, and exportable products.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The platform replaces previously manual, paper-based processes with automated data capture and continuous tracking. It connects producers, retailers, auditors, and certification labels in a single system. This positions Atmen as a technological infrastructure for sustainable industrial certification\u2014a topic that is becoming increasingly important in light of geopolitical tensions and growing regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atmen was founded in January 2023 by Flore de Durfort, Quentin Cangelosi and Erika Degoute \u2013 initially under the name Point Twelve<\/a>Shortly after its founding, the team won the Munich Startup Special Prize<\/a> at the Bits & Pretzels startup fair. Today, the platform is used at industrial sites in nine countries and cooperates with companies such as Lhyfe and T\u00dcV Nord.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
