The seed round was led by seed + speed Ventures and Blum Ventures, with additional participation from Matterwave Ventures and aws Gründerfonds Beteiligungs GmbH & Co KG. The funding will enable OPTIMUSE to advance its product development, expand its market presence, and set the course for further growth.

OPTIMUSE’s mission is to make buildings more climate-friendly and cost-efficient. With its AI-based platform, the company is setting new standards in building design and renovation, helping builders and planners implement projects faster, more affordably, and more sustainably.

“This round was a decisive step for us, and having such strong partners on board is a great vote of confidence in our mission. With Herbst Kinsky, we had advisors who provided us with excellent legal support and gave us a feeling of security and energy at all times,” said Dominik Pezzei, co-founder and managing director of OPTIMUSE.

The Herbst Kinsky team, led by Philipp Kinsky and supported by Christina Bernhart, Alina Putz, and Sarah Penker, provided the startup with comprehensive support in all legal matters relating to the transaction.
