Founded in #Tartu in 2024 by Stenver Jerkku and Al William Tammsaar, Soldera enables renewable energy producers to generate extra revenue through an automated system for trading certificates of energy origin (Guarantees of Origin).

Founded in #Tallinn in 2023 by Mary Boryslawska and Anna Gerlich, Enzum's solution helps amplify predictions of grid energy consumption, reduce overproduction, and minimize wastage. The startup collects data from energy consumption patterns in the energy companies, weather conditions, grid infrastructure, and historical energy production. And machine learning models help develop predictive algorithms, that provide accurate forecasts and optimization recommendations. These strategies can help understand how to strategically shift from carbon-intensive energy sources to renewable alternatives. Tallinn-based and founded in 2019 by Mattias Luha and Martin Karmin, KrattWorks builds aerial targets and ISR drones for frontline operators and the defense sector. The drones have wide frequency band hopping radios and GNSS-free (Global Navigation Satellite System) flight modes, which help first responders and servicemen get information faster. A narrow-angle thermal camera allows the drones to fly at higher altitudes. Launched in Tallinn in 2023 by Siim Maivel and Mark Cowan, Lendurai develops computer vision-based solutions for drones that enable navigation without GPS.

#Estonian verification startup Veriff will open an office in Sao Paolo, #Brazil this spring. This is connected with the increase of the company's business volume in the Latin American region in 2024, which has grown by 2.5 times. Founded in #Tallinn in 2015, Veriff is an online identity verification unicorn that protects businesses and their customers from online identity fraud. The company has offices in the US, UK, Estonia, and Spain. The presence in Latin America will allow Veriff to better serve global customers, most of which are based in the US and operate in the same time zone as Brazil rather than Estonia. The Latin American market also has a huge potential due to the high number of online scams there. In addition, Veriff founder and CEO Kaarel Kotkas noted that this year the startup will use the funding to expand its product portfolio, enter new markets, and strengthen its global customer base.

A retail startup PIXEVIA registered in #Lithuania as Magma Solutions, has raised €340K in an extension bridge round. The round was led by Lithuanian Coinvest Capital, which invested €170K. Existing and new investors, including LitBAN co-founders Vladas Lašas and Rita Sakus, founding partner of Lithuanian Gamedev Fund Renaldas Zioma, and Vytenis B. also participated in the round. Founded in #Vilnius in 2015 by Mindaugas Eglinskas and Ignas Kamantauskas, Pixevia is an AI platform for retail stores that eliminates cash registers and optimizes operations for store managers. The technology collects information from different security cameras (regular security cameras mounted on rails, sensors on shelves). The customer taps his payment card, phone, or watch wallet at the gates or uses a mobile application to enter the store. Then he selects items and the technology creates a virtual shopping cart. At the exit, the customer can see his items on the screen and tap his card to pay. Pixevia's technology can be implemented in various formats, including high-traffic convenience stores (100-400m2) with hundreds of daily transactions, gas stations, and container stores. The startup will use the investment to accelerate its global expansion across Europe, the APAC region, and the US. In particular, Taiwan, Belgium, Italy, and Poland. Coinvest Capital is a VC fund fully capitalized with public funds from the Lithuanian State and the EU. It is 100% owned by the National Development Agency INVEGA, which, in turn, is owned by the Ministry of Finance, acting as a shareholder on behalf of the Republic of Lithuania. Coinvest Capital invests in startups and companies undergoing business development and growth in cooperation with groups of business angels or private venture capital funds. Its portfolio includes 37 startups, with a total co-investment of €35.9M. The managing director is Viktorija Trimbel.
