German Startup And Former EU-Startups Summit Winner Resourcly Secures €2.7M Funding

The round was led by Project A, with participation from Knut Alicke, Philip Harting, Gregor Stühler, FIEGE Ventures, and existing investors including D11Z Ventures and Prequel VC.

Resourcly, winner of the EU-Startups Summit 2024 Pitch Competition, continues to expand its mission of making manufacturing supply chains more efficient and sustainable through data harmonization.

“Our AI-based similarity analysis uncovers patterns that humans and traditional systems can no longer detect, saving our customers time, unlocking millions and improving revenue potential by up to 20%”, said Helena Most, CEO and Co-founder. Most and Co-founder Ian Draxten experienced this firsthand working with Bosch, Carl Zeiss, and Wago.

In 2025 Europe’s investment landscape continues to show strong momentum in industrial AI and operations optimisation. Notable examples include PhysicsX (UK) raising €117.3 million to advance AI-native engineering, Pelico (France) securing €34.7 million for its GenAI supply chain platform and Holdson (UK) obtaining €1.7 million to expand its electroform manufacturing technology.

In this landscape, Resourcly’s €2.7 million Seed round places it between early-stage hardware startups and larger AI companies, showing strong investor confidence in manufacturing data innovation. Its AI-powered approach to parts management and inventory optimisation aligns with Europe’s broader move toward smarter, more efficient, and sustainable industrial operations.

“Most AI tools overpromise. Resourcly delivers real impact on working capital and efficiency,” said Christian Morandini, CFO, Sandvik Mining Solutions.

Andreas Schoen, Senior Director at Kärcher SE, noted it “solves transparency issues, supporting cost-efficient sustainable decisions,” while Matthias Schlotter of Schwäbische Werkzeugmaschinen highlighted how it “reduces part variants, cuts sourcing costs and speeds time to market.”

Founded in 2023 Resourcly is an AI-powered platform that helps manufacturers harmonise complex inventories by standardising parts data, removing duplicates and suggesting qualified alternatives. This enables global manufacturers to achieve up to 15% better working capital efficiency, showcasing a practical AI application in industrial operations.

The company highlights that manufacturers collectively hold $2.5 trillion in idle inventory and scrap $200 billion worth of usable parts annually not due to faults, but because fragmented systems and inconsistent data make locating parts difficult. As a result, many face production delays despite full warehouses.

Resourcly’s solution integrates easily with existing systems. By analysing uploaded CSV files, it identifies duplicates, flags interchangeable components, and unifies inventory data. It also creates liquidity by enabling part resale and sharing through trusted networks.

Since its €750K pre-seed round a year ago, Resourcly has achieved 5× revenue growth, expanding across industrial machinery, equipment, and electronics sectors.

“Resourcly is tackling one of manufacturing’s biggest inefficiencies: millions in wasted long-tail parts tying up inventory,” said Florian Heinemann, Project A Founder & General Partner. “It’s a problem ignored for too long, and they’re building the solution at exactly the right time.”

The funding will support new hires in engineering, product, and sales, while accelerating platform development to serve larger enterprise manufacturers across key European industrial hubs.

Knut Alicke concluded, “Resourcly cracked complex manufacturing’s toughest problem, and their AI approach delivers real value by significantly reducing inventory, spend, and management effort.”
