Copenhagen-based KOMPAS VC, an early-stage venture capital firm, has closed its €150 million Fund II to support early-stage industrial tech and sustainability startups. The fresh fund saw strong support from existing Limited Partners.
- KOMPAS VC was founded in 2021 by Sebastian Peck, Talia Rafaeli, and Andreas Winter-Extra as an early-stage venture capital firm. The firm has offices in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, and Copenhagen.
- The firm invests in innovative technologies for the manufacturing and built environment sectors, focusing on solving challenges such as CO₂ emissions, productivity, geopolitical instability, and supply chain disruptions.
“We are doubling down on our strategy to work closely with industry partners to identify the most promising technology solutions. Our network gives us a real edge in understanding when new technologies are ready for adoption," claims Sebastian Peck, Partner at KOMPAS VC.
- The fund aims to back 25 startups worldwide that develop industrial technologies to cut emissions, improve productivity, and protect businesses from global risks.
- KOMPAS VC Fund II has already supported several startups, including:
- Prewave, which provides a global supplier risk management solution
- Makersite, an AI platform that enhances product design and supply chain decisions
- Again, a green chemical company that converts CO2 into acetate and other base chemicals
- Ecowork, a platform that enables large-scale building retrofits
- Findable, which automates property management using AI
- The fund received backing from existing LPs that supported Fund I, with many increasing their commitments in Fund II. Moreover, the firm is expanding its investment and platform teams.
“We now live in an era where the commitment to sustainability no longer goes unquestioned. With Fund II, we remain focused on solutions that balance prosperity with environmental responsibility, investing in technologies that enable progress without compromising the planet," stated Andreas Winter-Extra, Partner at KOMPAS VC.
