Synera builds AI agents that run design, simulation, and costing workflows across the entire engineering toolchain. BMW, Airbus, NASA – 60+ enterprise customers.
Yesterday they announced their $40M Series B.

I had the pleasure to advise Moritz Maier, Co-Founder & CEO, on the round.

Airbus cut a 50-hour process to under 10 minutes. BMW compressed a six-week engineering loop to under a day.
That’s the kind of customer proof that changes a fundraising conversation.

Congrats to the whole team – well deserved.

I love working with deep tech founders with real scientific depth.

Lukas Werling is a poster-child example. He just raised a €5.5M Seed round for ISPTech, led by my friends at Join Capital.

ISPTech builds non-toxic, high-performance propulsion systems that enable satellites to move flexibly and reliably in orbit – from CubeSats to large spacecraft.

If you’re a deep tech founder building hardware, space, climate, energy or advanced industrial tech – and you’re preparing to raise – check out my FundraisingCOUP program. 🚀

Another one — very happy about this round. Circle Health is building a preventive health platform, led by stellar operators Peter Malmqvist and Jannik Tiedemann. What I also like a lot: their design DNA. Portfolio company.
