## About

Based in Cologne, Germany, and founded in 2021 by Cindy Schüller, Wilhelm Hammes, Heinrich Rauh, and Jan Borchert, PLANTED GmbH operates as a provider of software for the safeguarding of the environment. In February 2025, PLANTED GmbH raised EUR 5 million in seed funding co-led by new investors aws Fondsmanagement, WENVEST Capital, TechVision Fonds and returning investors Smart Infrastructure Ventures and neoteq Ventures, with participation from individual investors. The business offers decarbonization software to assist businesses in reducing and lowering their CO2 emissions. The average carbon footprints of employees are calculated, and utilizing a subscription model, those footprints are then balanced out by funding international environmental conservation initiatives. Additionally, the firm grows a tree for every employee in Germany. The company intends to use the funds raised in June 2022 to further develop its decarbonization software.

The company intends to use the funds raised in February 2025 to support the development of its ESG software.
