Tanso closes 12 million euro financing round

The Munich-based B2B start-up Tanso has closed a Series A financing round of 12 million euros. The round was led by the international VC funds henQ and Fortino Capital. Existing investors Capnamic and UVC Partners also participated in the financing again.

Software for sustainability reporting and ESG compliance

Tanso is developing a software solution that enables industrial companies to systematically record, analyze and report their environmental and sustainability data. Growing regulatory pressure, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive at EU level, is increasingly forcing companies to produce transparent sustainability reports. For suppliers in the automotive, food and chemical industries, for example, this is also becoming relevant to competition.

This is precisely where Tanso's solution comes in, providing a digital basis for ESG and decarbonization measures.

Over 300 customers in more than 40 countries

The start-up was founded in 2021 by Till Wiechmann, Gyri Reiersen and Lorenz Hetzel. The company already has more than 300 customers in over 40 countries, including Kärcher, Duravit, the Paulaner Group and Goldbeck. The software is designed to help meet environmental targets and automate reporting obligations.

Successful application examples

Several customers report measurable successes from the introduction of the software:

• Crespel & Deiters says it saves 75% of its sustainability management costs.
• Böllhoff uses Tanso to manage sustainability data in over 40 countries.
• The racing supplier Pankl AG uses Tanso to ensure EU CSRD compliance.
• FEP, an automotive supplier, uses the software to analyze environmental indicators at product level and uses this as an advantage in tenders.

Capital for product development and growth

We aim to offer the most user-friendly, reliable and widely used solution on the market and now have new opportunities to invest further.

Till Wiechmann, CEO and co-founder of Tanso

With the fresh capital, Tanso plans to grow its team from currently 55 to over 100 employees, expand into other European markets and develop new modules for supply chain, risk and compliance management.
