Klim apparently closes financing round

The startup aims to promote regenerative agriculture and has developed a platform and label to do so, among other things.

Berlin-based startup Klim has raised €6.5 million in a funding round, as Techcrunch reported. Green Generation Fund led the round, according to the report. Other investors include Edaphon, Ponderosa and Agfunder from the U.S., it said. Existing investors such as Ananda, Foodlabs and Wi Ventures also participated in the round, it said. Klim now wants to push ahead with its product development and international expansion.

Robert Gerlach, Nina Mannheimer and Adiv Maimon founded Klim together in August 2020. They want to promote and spread regenerative agriculture, also called carbon farming. Among other things, they have developed their own label for this purpose. The goal of a regenerative economy is to promote biodiversity, regenerate soils, increase the quality of food and store large amounts of CO2 in soil and vegetation.

In addition to the label, Klim has developed a digital companion to help farmers convert from conventional agriculture. So far, a good 1,700 farmers have apparently registered on the platform. An app offers documentation options tailored specifically to regenerative agriculture and personalized, data-driven access to knowledge. With the funding round now closed, the startup has raised a total of eight million euros, according to Techcrunch .
