Germany Energy Intelligence Startup Avoltra Secure €2.3M In pre-seed Round

Avoltra helps industrial companies manage their energy purchases more efficiently and strategically. With energy prices often high and unpredictable, Avoltra’s platform gives companies real-time market insights and smart, automated recommendations to reduce costs and improve their margins.

By turning complex energy data into clear strategies tailored to each business, Avoltra aims to make energy buying smarter, more flexible, and more sustainable—boosting competitiveness across Europe.

Co-founder Dr. Angelo Canzaniello Sáenz says many companies still rely on outdated tools, missing a big opportunity to control one of their biggest costs: energy.

We’re building technology that gives procurement teams the data, intelligence, and agility they need to make smart decisions in real time. In a market shaped by volatility, regulation, and the energy transition, that kind of clarity isn’t just valuable—it’s essential.

Rising and unpredictable energy prices—especially in Germany—have made energy procurement a top concern for business leaders. What was once a routine task is now a key part of staying competitive and stable.

Old tools built for steady markets can’t keep up with today’s fast-changing conditions. Geopolitical tensions and the rise of renewables have made things more complex. Avoltra is tackling this challenge with smart, AI-powered solutions that help industrial companies manage energy buying more strategically—protecting margins, cutting risks, and building long-term resilience.

Franz Zünkler, Co-Founder of avoltra, added: This funding gives us the momentum to accelerate product development and scale our go-to-market efforts. We’re building a team that’s deeply committed to developing a category-defining product and helping industrial companies turn energy into a competitive advantage.

The funding round was led by Project A, with additional support from the CDTM Venture Fund and a group of well-known business angels. These include serial entrepreneurs Sebastian Schuon and Christian Vollmann, Forto co-founder Michael Wax, top industrial leader Martina Merz (formerly with thyssenkrupp AG), SGL Carbon CFO Thomas Dippold, investor and former Klöckner & Co CEO Gisbert Rühl, and Timon Ruban, co-founder of Luminovo.

Mila Cramer, Principal at Investor Project A, shared: Angelo and Franz impressed us from the onset with their thoughtfulness and ambition both in terms of commercial and product expertise. We’ve closely followed their journey from the beginning through the Project A Studio. They validated their initial hypotheses with incredible conviction and got strong market pull for enabling industrial companies to take control of their energy procurement. Not just to save costs, but to gain planning security and stay competitive in uncertain times. Energy is becoming one of the most decisive factors for the future of industry, and we believe avoltra will help shape that future.

With the new funding, avoltra plans to speed up the development of its AI-driven energy procurement solutions and grow its engineering and sales teams.
