CO2 tracker Vaayu receives 1.5 million US dollars

The Berlin start-up completes its pre-seed round. Retailers can use its platform to calculate their carbon footprint.
Vaayu has closed its pre-seed round of 1.57 million US dollars. The round is led by Amsterdam-based VC CapitalT. Also participating are the angel program of London-based venture capital firm Atomico, Planet Positive LP, Berlin-based angel group Saarbruecker21, Berlin-based VC Expedite Ventures and Amsterdam-based VC NP-Hard Ventures.
Vaayu offers a tracker that measures the CO2 emissions of online retailers, particularly in the fashion industry. "Vaayu helps retailers measure, monitor and reduce their carbon footprint across the entire supply chain - something I know from personal experience can be complex and expensive," says co-founder and CEO Namrata Sandhu to Techcrunch, who was previously Head of Sustainability at Zalando. The start-up, which was founded in 2020, counts fashion brands Organic Basics and Armedangels among its customers. "We are delighted to have the support of the women-led VC CapitalT. They understood us and our vision right from the start." The money will be used to further develop the platform.
