Three Startups Raise Funding for AI in Robotics, Energy and Property Management

Linkener raises for business energy management

Linkener, a Valencia-based EnergyTech company, has closed a 7.5 million euro round, EU-Startups reported. The round was led by Klima Energy Transition Fund, Alantra's energy transition fund, with existing shareholder GoHub Ventures continuing to participate. Founded in 2011, Linkener operates an Intelligent Energy Management System (SIGE) with proprietary remote metering technology that combines consumption metering, data analytics and AI. The platform lets businesses measure consumption, digitise and validate bills, analyse supply arrangements, and receive alerts and savings recommendations. The company says it serves more than 2,000 customers, manages 10,000 energy supply points and 1.7 TWh annually, and has delivered more than 400 solar PV and battery storage projects across Spain.

CEO Jose Ignacio Ruiz said the funding will help accelerate the transformation of a fragmented sector where energy management remains rooted in decades-old practices, and that the company wants businesses to have reliable data to understand and anticipate their energy costs, EU-Startups reported.

Vessla targets property operations

Vessla, a Stockholm-based startup building an agentic operating system for real estate, has emerged from stealth with 2.94 million euro ($3.3 million) in pre-seed funding, according to EU-Startups. The round was more than twice oversubscribed and was led by Seedcamp, with investors including Inception Fund, Tiny VC, operators from Lovable and OpenAI, and founders Lukas Saari of Tandem Health and Fredrik Hjelm of Voi, alongside angel investors. Founded earlier this year, Vessla addresses the problem of property information being scattered across multiple systems, where a single maintenance request can require checking records, contacting a supplier, updating a work order and following up on an invoice in separate tools. The company layers AI agents across existing systems to carry out such tasks.

Seedcamp partner Felix Martinez said property operations combine recurring work with complex processes and exceptions that require judgment, and that Vessla is building for both, EU-Startups reported.
