Hypersoniq funding news – Delft-based Hypersoniq has Raised €1.1Million in Seed Funding

The company will use the funds to improve and sell its sensors that monitor water quality in real-time, focusing on industrial wastewater issues. This funding comes just three months after Hypersoniq received €2.5M from UNIIQ, an investment fund that supports early-stage companies.

Joris van Aken, CEO of Hypersonic, says, “Real-time online insights into water quality have never been more important, especially in the Netherlands, where we have the worst water quality in the EU. With the support from this funding round, we can accelerate our research and product development to bring our groundbreaking sensors to market.”

European industries are struggling with wastewater and process water quality. They often depend on slow and inefficient manual testing.

Current online sensors have limitations and don’t provide useful insights for many industries. Because of this, manual testing is still commonly used, even though it can take days to get results.

This delay causes inefficiencies, costing industries millions of euros each year and making it harder for them to meet environmental standards.

Hypersoniq, led by Joris van Aken, uses patented technology with advanced electrochemical methods, new materials, and machine learning to give fast, useful insights in real-time.

These insights help improve processes quickly, reduce environmental impact, lower costs, and ensure that companies follow environmental rules.

The company is mainly focused on monitoring industrial wastewater. Their first pilot project with a customer is planned for early 2025, aiming to improve a wastewater treatment plant by monitoring water pollution levels in real-time.

This will help reduce the need for treatment chemicals, improve process control, lower costs, reduce the carbon footprint, and ensure better compliance with regulations.

Hypersoniq’s sensors also offer benefits in other areas, such as monitoring water in the food and beverage industry and providing early-warning systems for drinking water safety.

Co-Founder & CTO Gijs Vermeij, says, “Translating these electrochemical sensing technologies from the lab to practical applications requires expertise across various disciplines, including materials science, electrochemistry, water technology, and AI. This funding allows us to expand our team and take major steps toward commercialising our technology.”

VP Capital, the investment firm of the van Puijenbroek family, has over 150 years of experience in the textile industry. Their team of 13 professionals invests in sustainability, biodiversity, climate change, and social equality.

Mathijs van der Knaap, VP Capital, says, “Hypersoniq stands out with its innovative and sustainable approach to addressing global water quality challenges. Their solutions deliver measurable results that improve water standards. We are proud to support their mission and contribute to improving water quality worldwide”
