Breakthrough Story
.avif)
In 2024, ecoplanet captured the spotlight – and didn’t stop there. As last year's standout startup, ecoplanet kicked off 2025 with a massive €16 million Series A round, led by EQT Ventures, with HV Capital continuing their support. That brings their total funding to €18.6 million – a clear sign of their momentum and market potential. These kinds of success stories don’t just happen — they start with the right stage.
If you're building something bold, this is your chance.Join our event – and start writing your own success story!
In September 2022, constellr took the win – and didn’t miss a beat. Just two months later, in November 2022, they raised a €10 million seed round. The momentum continued: in July 2023, constellr secured another €17 million, bringing their total funding to €33.5 million.
Proof that bold ideas, when backed at the right moment, can launch something extraordinary.
