Capmont raises €100M for early-stage B2B startups

The fresh capital brings the total raised by the firm, previously known as DI Technology, to €300 million since it first launched in 2016.

Partnering with founders from late seed to Series B stage, Capmont Technology invests in businesses with early-stage traction and proven customer demand. Expertise spans software-defined hardware, industrial technology (e.g. supply chain, manufacturing and IoT), enterprise SaaS, robotics, and cybersecurity. Typical cheque sizes are €2-5 million, with additional capital reserved for follow-on rounds.

Capmont Technology only invests in sustainable businesses and founders that provide clear business value and RoI to their customers. From there, Capmont Technology provides founders with ongoing help and support, including for their go-to-market strategy, at all stages of their journey.

The team also provides go-to-market support using its shared professional engineering expertise and first-hand founder and operator experience. What’s more, it is able to leverage its extensive and highly relevant base of LPs including institutional investors, family offices, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (mostly entrepreneurs and C-level executives at DACH enterprises).

To date, the firm has invested in B2B tech companies such as Konux, a pioneer in AI-powered railway optimisation; Plume, an operator of self-optimising WiFi services and network control; and ProGlove, an industrial IoT firm later acquired by Nordic Capital. Other companies already invested in include the likes of Celus, Mercanis, Flowers, and Arch Systems.

Dr Torsten Kreindl, Managing Partner at Capmont Technology, said: “The start-up space is known for being extremely competitive, but it can also be hugely collaborative. Our aim is to offer founders an unmatched network, and we go above and beyond to help them succeed. Rather than deploying capital and hoping for the best, we commit to supporting entrepreneurs longer-term – whether that comes in the form of introducing them to decision-makers and potential customers, or another injection of funding when the time is right.”

Dr Matthias Roth, Partner at Capmont Technology, added: “There are many exciting opportunities to invest in industrial technology applications that truly make an impact while generating superior returns for investors. That’s precisely what this fund focuses on. We’re eager to work with more founders who are fuelled by a strong economic equation where costs are balanced, resources optimised, and nothing is wasted – leading to maximum impact.”
