Exclusive: Ceezer secures pre-seed funding

The start-up sees itself as a digital carbon bank and wants to make it easier for companies to offset their CO2 emissions. Now the startup secures seven-figure funding.

Greentech Ceezer secures a seven-figure sum in a pre-seed round. The capital comes from Munich-based investor Picus Capital. The startup plans to use the new funding to expand its team and further develop its platform.

Magnus Drewelies founded Ceezer 2021. Companies can use the Ceezer platform to find climate protection projects and compare their prices and quality characteristics there. The companies can then buy the emission certificates directly from the project developers. This should make it easier for companies to compensate for unavoidable CO2 emissions. According to the company, this is particularly interesting for companies that have committed to reducing their emissions. The Berlin-based start-up wants to ensure transparency on its platform in terms of prices and quality.

"Magnus and his team are building the much-needed infrastructure for the voluntary carbon market, creating transparency, trust and facilitating transactions," says Oliver Heinrich, partner at Picus Capital. He is convinced by Ceezar's concept. "They are taking on a really important challenge, because offsetting is critical to the fight against climate change."
