Caeli Wind, a Berlin-based company, has secured €11 million in growth capital from international investors. The funding round was led by UK venture capital fund Notion Capital, known for investments in GigPig and Aikido Security, with participation from Santander Alternative Investments and existing investors like HTGF.
The newly acquired funds will support Caeli Wind’s international expansion, enhance its value chain, and further develop its advanced technologies.
Founded in 2022 by Ben Schlemmermeier and Heiko Bartels, Caeli Wind operates a digital marketplace that identifies potential wind energy locations for landowners. The platform uses AI-supported analysis to assess and market these sites.
In the previous year, Caeli Wind identified 173 new locations for wind turbines in Germany, which were then allocated to project developers and energy suppliers. The company’s AI technology accelerates wind farm projects by an average of 18 months.
Caeli Wind’s platform simplifies the process of wind turbine construction, contributing significantly to climate goals. It offers a free analysis of properties, covering aspects such as profitability, planning law, and faunistic reports. Additionally, it provides a groundbreaking fee model for lease income, nationwide marketing, and access to a broad range of project developers.
Co-founders Schlemmermeier and Bartels expressed their satisfaction with the financing round, emphasizing Caeli Wind’s role as a catalyst for the energy transition. They highlighted the importance of partnerships with Notion Capital and Santander in achieving their vision.
Stephen Chandler, Managing Partner at Notion Capital, remarked on the platform’s potential to modernize the wind energy sector, praising the founders’ expertise. Santiago Gil from Santander InnoEnergy Climate Fund echoed this sentiment, noting Santander’s commitment to supporting decarbonization efforts. Klaus Lehmann from HTGF recognized Caeli Wind as a game-changer in the energy market, justifying further investment in the company.
