Stuttgart-based Makersite said it has secured €60 million in Series B funding to accelerate its mission of “creating a world where every product manufactured is the most affordable, safe, and green it can be through intelligent automation, deep product knowledge and integrations.”
The round was co-led by Lightrock and Partech, and joined by SE Ventures.
All of Makersite’s Series A investors – including Hitachi Ventures, KOMPAS VC, Translink Capital, and Planet A – participated in the round.
Makersite said it enables leading manufacturers, including Microsoft, Daikin, Cummins, Barco, and Schneider Electric, to design safer, more sustainable and compliant products.
Makersite’s AI-powered platform helps manufacturers gain a deeper understanding of what is in their supply chains, starting with fixing product data.
Makersite said: “The funding will enable Makersite to enhance its customer offering and scale both its technology and team to meet growing demand from manufacturers seeking to make informed and sustainable decisions throughout the product design process.”
Neil D’Souza, CEO and Founder of Makersite, said: “This investment marks a critical milestone in our mission to make sustainable product design the default.
“Securing this level of commitment — especially in today’s uncertain economic and geopolitical environment — demonstrates the strength of our business case and the urgency of our mission. The funding will allow us to accelerate platform development, deepen integration with our technology partners, and scale our impact globally.”
Chris Steinau, Partner at Lightrock, said: “Our commitment to Makersite reflects our strong confidence in their vision and their unique approach — treating sustainability as a balanced trade-off between cost, safety, and environmental performance, rather than simply a ‘green’ checkbox.
“Makersite’s outstanding technology and clear market traction position them as a future leader in helping manufacturers navigate today’s complex challenges and deliver real, measurable impact.”
Arnaud Minvielle and Remi Said, General Partners at Partech, said: “We are very honoured and proud to invest in this global impact champion. We have very strong convictions on Makersite’s product superiority, the depth of its market where R&D and complex purchasing can be transformed through accelerated insight generation and the exceptional talent of Neil and his team.
“We believe that we can support Makersite in its next S-curve, alongside Lightrock and other shareholders.”
