Electric mobility start-up Lade has raised a seven-figure sum in a seed funding round. The exact amount of the funding is not known in detail, the money comes from Orgentec Holding. With the capital, the start-up from Mainz wants to grow further and enter the market for charging infrastructure next year. The first tests of the charging station should already be completed in the spring.

"For e-mobility to work, we need more and better charging infrastructure. We have the solution for this - and now also the financial means to bring it to the market. At the same time, this investment represents enormous confidence in our vision and our technology," says Lade CEO and founder Dennis Schulmeyer.

Schulmeyer, an electrical engineer and IT entrepreneur, founded Lade in Mainz in 2020. The start-up has developed a system for setting up, operating and using charging infrastructure. Lade provides the charging columns, cloud software for charging park operators and an app for users who want to charge their e-car.
