Schalast advises Grandperspective on completion of Series A financing round of EUR 9 million with a second closing by kineo Capital

The Schalast VC team around partner Dr. Marc-André Rousseau advised Grandperspective, a German-based company specialized in holistic emission monitoring, on the successful completion of a EUR 9 million Series A round with a second closing by kineo Capital I, a dedicated VC/PE growth fund advised by kineo finance AG.

The funding will be used to support the worldwide commercialization of Grandperspective’s scanfeld® system and for the development of new software applications. With its unique hardware-software combination, scanfeld® already offers early warning in case of hazardous emissions. In addition, the system will provide features for plant maintenance and ESG reporting.

About Grandperspective GmbH (GP): Grandperspective has developed the world’s first early warning system called scanfeld®. With scanfeld® based on FTIR spectroscopy, hundreds of different gases are located, identified and quantified from a distance of up to one kilometer. With just a few scanfeld® sensor units, even large areas, warehouses and production facilities can be monitored in this way. Gas leaks are quickly detected and the formation of dangerous gas clouds is tracked, measured and visualized in real time.
