Resourcly raises 2.7 million euros in seed financing

The Berlin-based deep tech startup Resourcly has closed a seed financing round of 2.7 million euros. The aim of the Techstars alumni company is to turn unused stock in the industry into liquid capital. This is done with the help of artificial intelligence, which recognizes duplicates, recommends alternatives and harmonizes parts data.

The round is led by Project A Ventures, with participation from Knut Alicke (former McKinsey partner & supply chain expert), Philip Harting (CEO Harting), Gregor Stühler (CEO Scoutbee) and FIEGE Ventures. Existing investors such as D11Z Ventures, Prequel VC and several former executives from SAP, VW, Siemens and Danaher also participated again.

AI to combat inefficiency in global supply chains

According to Resourcly, around 2.5 trillion US dollars are tied up in unused or misclassified spare parts worldwide, while 200 billion US dollars worth of perfectly good components are scrapped every year. This is caused by fragmented data systems and a lack of transparency in the supply chain.

Our AI recognizes patterns that humans and traditional systems can no longer find.

Helena Most, CEO & Co-Founder Resourcly

CEO Helena Most founded Resourcly together with Ian Draxten. The result is up to 15 % more liquidity and an increase in turnover of up to 20 % for customers. These already include major industrial companies from the mechanical engineering, electronics and automation sectors.

Immediately measurable benefits without changing systems

Resourcly integrates into existing ERP and warehouse management systems without having to replace them. Manufacturers can upload simple CSV exports, whereupon the platform identifies duplicates, assigns spare parts and creates a standardized database.

In addition, Resourcly enables the resale or exchange of surplus parts via trusted networks. This approach aims to turn previously unused stock into new revenue streams.

Five-fold sales growth and new markets in sight

Since the pre-seed round of 750,000 euros last year, the start-up has increased its turnover fivefold. With the new capital, Resourcly plans to expand its team in the areas of engineering, product development and sales as well as expand into European production centers.

Resourcly addresses one of the biggest inefficiencies in industrial supply chain management. Millions of components lie unused in warehouses - with its solution, the team has its finger on the pulse of the times.
