We are delighted to welcome ZeroMission to our growing portfolio of companies shaping and enabling the all-electric world. ZeroMission has successfully raised $3 million to grow its electric bus and truck fleet management platform and plans to expand further in Europe and the US. The round, led by Delta Partners VC and Greencode Ventures, together with us and high profile angel investors, will be used to accelerate product development and expand ZeroMission's commercial reach. ZeroMission addresses the urgent need to decarbonise fleets amid growing pressure to reduce emissions and meet environmental targets. Founded in 2022 by Leah O'Dwyer and Kevin Christopher, ZeroMission provides a comprehensive software platform for fleet operators to support the efficient deployment and management of electric vehicles at scale. Its integrated platform provides real-time information on vehicles and charging stations, optimising energy use and costs. The company already serves transit bus operators in California and leading US technology companies that use electric vehicles for employee commuting. At Vireo Ventures, we are thrilled to be part of this journey and look forward to ZeroMission's continued growth and impact on the EV industry! #VireoVentures #Innovation #ElectricVehicles #Sustainability #Investment #TechNews

EnBW New Ventures invests in Vireo Electrification Fund! We are pleased to announce that EnBW New Ventures, led by Crispin Leick, has chosen to invest in our Electrification Fund I. Crispin explains, “Our focus is on direct investments in startups. We only invest in funds when we have known the teams for a long time and they are knowledgeable in their field. It is also important to us that our direct investment strategy benefits from this engagement.” Through the collaboration with Vireo Ventures, the EnBW New Ventures team significantly expands its cleantech network and gets even closer to international seed investments and the development of early-stage startups. A recent example of this is the investment in Cozero, which EnBW New Ventures discovered through Vireo Ventures. For us at Vireo Ventures, the partnership with EnBW New Ventures is incredibly valuable. Our managing partner, Felix Krause, states, “I am excited about the collaboration with EnBW New Ventures. The exchange with the team is characterized by transparency and openness. It is a great vote of confidence that the Corporate Venture Capital unit of a large energy company like EnBW is investing in us, and we are delighted to expand our expert network through this partnership.” Together, we are powering the future of electrification and sustainability! #VireoVentures #EnBWNewVentures #ElectrificationFund #CleanTech #Sustainability #Startups #Investment #Innovation #FutureEnergy
