Caeli Wind closes financing round

The start-up maintains a cloud-based platform that can be used to test whether forest or agricultural land is suitable for wind turbines.

The Berlin-based start-up Caeli Wind has raised a seven-figure sum in its first round of financing. The investors come from the renewable energy industry and the start-up sector. The round is led by former Lichtblick Managing Director Wilfried Gillrath.

The start-up is a spin-off of LBD-Beratungsgesellschaft, a strategic management consultancy for climate protection and decarbonization. "Together, we want to accelerate the expansion of wind turbines and thus advance the energy transition," says Heiko Bartels, Managing Director of LBD and Caeli Wind.

Caeli Wind enables landowners, such as farmers, forest owners or municipalities, to check whether their land is suitable for wind energy. To this end, the start-up operates a cloud-based, intelligent platform that identifies potential sites. At the same time, the start-up wants to help with marketing and bring project developers and landowners together.
