Welcome our new startup! 🥳 Enginsight strengthens cybersecurity for SMEs with €6 million in fresh capital. 🖥️🛡️ Enginsight GmbH, a seasoned German provider of an all-in-one cybersecurity platform for SMEs, has successfully closed a new funding round led by UVC Partners. Among the co-investors is Carsten Maschmeyer, investing in the startup with his seed speed Ventures fund. The fresh capital of €6 million will enable the company to further its mission of protecting the German SMEs sector from the growing threat of cyberattacks. 🔍Spotlight on some key highlights: 🔹SMEs comprise 99.4% of the German economy. Enginsight's innovative platform aims to shield them from the financial damage these attacks can cause. 🔹Enginsight offers a solution developed entirely in Germany, specifically tailored to meet the needs of the German SME sector. 🔹Clients can utilize a pre-built system that can generally be implemented and running in just one day. 🔹With this latest funding round, Enginsight plans to expand its markets in the DACH region and establish a foothold internationally. 🌍 Andreas Unseld, General Partner at UVC Partners, notes, “From our perspective, the biggest challenge for many SMEs is the lack of comprehensive solutions that are both affordable and quick to implement. Enginsight’s customers benefit from a pre-configured platform that can typically be deployed and operational within a day. The company combines threat detection, monitoring, and response in a single system without requiring multiple isolated tools. That's why we believe Enginsight’s offering perfectly aligns with the needs of today’s market.” “The availability of IT security specialists is a constant bottleneck for SMEs. Enginsight addresses this gap by offering solutions that don’t require additional time from experts. This is why Enginsight is highly valuable to IT service companies working with SME clients,” adds Jakob Banhardt, Investment Manager at UVC Partners. Congratulations to Mario Jandeck, Max Tarantik, Eric Range and to the entire Enginsight GmbH team! Congratulations also to the Co-investors: bm-t beteiligungsmanagement thüringen GmbH, Talanx AG, Smart Infrastructure Ventures ('SIVentures') and Brandenburg VENTURES GmbH! 💐 Patricia B., Michael Rainer, Isabelle Thomich, Alexander Kölpin, Bjoern Bauermeister, CFA, Maximilian Frink, Maximilian Scheurle, Hannah Steenken Learn more in our press release: https://lnkd.in/dZfUtj-p and in Business Insider: https://lnkd.in/eccCV5dM

$62M to back up the surging market demand for Reverion’s clean tech. ♻ In an oversubscribed round, our portfolio company Reverion just raised $62M in Series A funding. With the closing of this round, they now plan to begin serial production of their reversible carbon negative power plants and meet over $100 million in customer pre-orders. “From our first touchpoint with Reverion, we were impressed by their order book and highly efficient reversible power plant. We're excited to support their journey to serial production, thereby contributing to economically viable green energy production for biogas plants and supporting European independence with green chemicals,” says Jana Petry, Investment Associate at UVC Partners. The surge in demand for Reverion’s technology is due to the numerous benefits they offer. Their technology doubles the electricity output of gas engines while also being able to operate reversibly. Johannes von Borries, Managing Partner at UVC Partners elaborates: “Reverion has developed a technology that not only increases the efficiency of biogas plants but is also capable of producing hydrogen in times of over-supply of electricity in the grid. The team is an excellent fit for our Climate Tech portfolio because its dual mode is an essential enabler for the transformation towards renewable energy in Germany, Europe, and the world.” 🌍 With their containerized plug-and-play solution, the spin-off from the Technical University of Munich is now planning to scale beyond Germany. “The demand for our units has been overwhelming in Germany, and we're not stopping there — we're preparing for a global push with strategies tailored to each region’s regulations,” said Dr. Stephan Herrmann, CEO and Managing Director at Reverion GmbH.
