At World Fund, we’re thrilled to announce our follow-on investment in cylib - leading their €55 million Series A round - alongside Porsche Ventures. We first invested in Lilian Schwich and Gideon Schwich via the firm’s seed extension round in early 2023. We’re doubling down on our commitment, and leading this round - which is the largest round ever for a European battery recycling firm - as we continue to be impressed by Lilian, Gideon and Paul’s ability to execute, industrialise, and develop nascent technology at extreme speed. cylib’s technology - already being used by major OEMs and industrial firms - is addressing one of the last great barriers preventing full electrification of our economy: battery recycling.  cylib’s proprietary process will ensure that every component in a lithium-ion battery can be recycled, making it the only company on the market to offer clients a way to recover all elements from production scraps, EV or micro mobility batteries. Despite being only four years old, cylib’s technology is already outperforming industry break-even points, and achieving a 90%+ battery material recyclability rate. Kudos to co-investors, including Bosch Ventures, DTCF | DeepTech & Climate Fonds, NRW Ventures, Vsquared Ventures, Speedinvest and 10x Founders!

Investors are banking that this RTP startup can change water purification forever. It's a complex technology, but the stakes are high, particularly for parts of the country that keep experiencing water shortages. What if there was an easy, cheap way to repurpose wastewater? Meet NALA Membranes, a female-founded startup that, even in the ridiculous funding market we find ourselves in, is closing capital. att: First Flight Venture Center Research Triangle Park https://lnkd.in/e4ZgjgSJ #100femaleentrepreneurs
