We are thrilled to announce our continued partnership with Axle Energy. We led the pre-seed round in Axle Energy last year, and are now excited to participate and continue to invest in the 9 Mio USD Seed round led by Accel. Since our initial investment, we have been consistently impressed by Karl, Archy, and the entire Axle Energy team and their ability to connect more than 15k assets to energy markets and reduce end-consumers' energy bills while decarbonizing the grid. Congratulations to the entire Axle Energy team! We look forward to continuing our partnership.

We are thrilled to share that our portfolio company Prima and its founders Juan Pablo, Daniel, and Patricio got recognized as Endeavor entrepreneurs! The initiative was brought to life to honor those who decide to enter underserved markets with high-impact business ideas. Prima is revolutionizing the supply chain and manufacturing sector in Mexico by tackling complex projects to simplify sourcing from Mexico for domestic and cross-border trade. Congratulations to Juan Pablo, Daniel, and Patricio on this great achievement. We are looking forward to continuing our partnership and are excited to see what is to come! Make sure to also have a look below! https://lnkd.in/ef9pAXDC https://lnkd.in/e-p3HHTr #VentureCapital #Endeavorentrepreneurs
#BreakingNews 🚀 Juan Pablo Ramos (Co-CEO), Daniel Autrique (Co-CEO) y Patricio Servitje (CFO) de Prima han sido seleccionados como Emprendedores Endeavor en el Panel Virtual de Selección Internacional #47. Prima nace para ser un integrador confiable de manufactura y cadena de suministro en #México. Dada la baja tasa de cumplimiento del ecosistema de #manufactura (~30% frente al 95% en economías avanzadas) y la alta fragmentación (más de 500,000 fábricas), el punto de partida resultante para la manufactura en México es de alta ineficiencia y de baja fiabilidad. Prima aborda estos desafíos mediante un enfoque centrado en #tecnología, integrando la cadena de suministro y gestionando cada etapa del proceso. ¡Bienvenidos #Emprendedores Endeavor y muchas felicidades por este gran logro! Noticia traída a ti con el apoyo de Mastercard. #entrepreneurship

After announcing our participation in Klarity’s landmark Series B only a few weeks ago, our Americas team Julian and Daniel are sharing some further thoughts on why they are so excited about the potential of Klarity’s gen-ai-enabled workflow automation platform, and its vision to enable any enterprise in becoming an exponential organization. Klarity’s current go-to-market via enterprise accounting functions provides for a strong and differentiated edge. CAOs are underserved by technology & software companies, have nevertheless meaningful financial budgets (currently spent on large internal teams as well as outsourced & offshored BPOs), and desire highly reliable and customizable workflow automation. Klarity 3.0 showcases the meaningful opportunity that generative AI enabled workflow automation can bring to functions currently dominated by labor-intensive professional services across document reviews, financial statement reconciliations, consistency checks & validations, etc. Instead of selling internal software toolings that still rely on human intervention and external connectivity on the document level (email, PDFs, etc.), Klarity’s highly reliable automation capabilities deliver quality at the level of human cognition and hyper scale a company's efficiency while also enhancing quality & reliability. This is a trend we don’t only observe in the BPO space, but also in other labor-intensive industries such B2B sales, customer software development, IT operations, among many others. We are excited to see many multi billion dollar companies emerge following this broader thesis.
