Graswald collects 1.25 million euros

The start-up develops photorealistic 3D ecosystems for films and video games. This has now also convinced investors.

Graswald has raised 1.25 million euros in capital in a seed financing round, as reported by VentureCapital Magazine reports. The High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) and Lakestar have invested in the company. Business angels are also said to have invested in the start-up.

Julius Harling founded the company in 2021. Graswald develops digital nature for films, series, video games, animations and product visualizations. Customers can access a collection of digital plants and put together a landscape in a short space of time. According to Graswald, the digital plants are checked by a biologist in order to look as realistic and natural as possible. "Thanks to our ecosystem approach and our automated production pipeline, we enable 3D world creation within minutes instead of weeks," Harling explains in the VentureCapital Magazine quoted.

The digital ecosystem is aimed at both corporate customers and individual users. Graswald claims to have more than 15,000 users. The start-up's vision is to develop photorealistic plants for the metaverse in the future.
