🏗️ The construction industry is contributing 40% to global greenhouse gases - with emissions embodied in building materials being among the main drivers. 🇪🇺 As part of the European Green Deal and as of 2025 the EU will thus introduce the Construction Product Regulation (CPR) to lay down harmonised rules on how to declare the environmental impact of building materials - and introduce a regime of audits to ensure adherence. Today, certification in line with regulation is a complex, expensive and time intensive process carried out by consultants. 💫 Enter Emidat, solving a hair on fire problem in the construction industry by cutting the time it takes to certify materials from up to 12 months to a few days. Their software platform automates the generation and publication of validated Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certificates for building material manufacturers. 😍 Lisa and Florian are THE team to back in tackling this massive opportunity: Extremely driven, smart and humble missionaries who are obsessed with building a category defining company AND having a measurable impact in doing so. They efficiently built an enterprise grade product loved by industry leading companies on the back of a small angel round - and have demonstrated their ability to attract AAA talent, assembling an early team from Pinterest, CDTM or MIT. Big congrats to team Emidat for raising this €4M seed round - and welcome among the BOOOM💥 astronauts!! We are thrilled to support your journey alongside General Catalyst, Auxxo Female Catalyst Fund, Übermorgen Ventures, NP-Hard Ventures and a great roster of angels.
