Patric Hellermann, general partner at Foundamental, said: "Tens of millions of buildings need retrofit insulation to remain viable economically and climate-wise. Christian and Sebastian found an ingenious way to industrialise retrofit insulation with their technology and process. We're delighted to be supporting them and the entire VARM team to scale their impactful model across Germany and beyond."

Gregory Dewerpe, general partner and founder at A/O asserts said, "We can't decarbonise the built world without retrofitting existing building stock, and upgrading insulation is often the most efficient way to do this. Unfortunately, the shortage of installers and the fragmented journey has meant that homeowners often overlook insulation. VARM is making it easier and more affordable for buildings and homeowners to upgrade their insulation, reducing energy consumption and bills. We're excited to be partnering with them on their journey."
