Deep Tech startup TVARIT successfully raised €2.8 million funding led by Matterwave Ventures, the former btov Industrial Technologies team

  • TVARIT develops one of the most advanced prescriptive AI technologies for reducing scrap, energy losses and unplanned downtime.
  • TVARIT’S customers already include leading metal-casting manufacturing companies, who achieved upto 50% savings in scrap, energy and resources.
  • TVARIT raised €2.8 million lead by Munich-based Matterwave Ventures, the former btov Industrial Technologies team and included participation from Futury Capital from Frankfurt am Main and BM H from Wiesbaden to scale and expand its development and sales team.

Frankfurt, May 24, 2022 – The Frankfurt-based AI startup TVARIT, successfully closed a €2.8 million funding round. Last week TVARIT was awarded at #1 place with the DIGITAL FUTUREcongress Start-Up-Award 2022. Futury Capital had already identified TVARIT in 2019 at an early stage and accompanied its remarkable development. With the entry of the btov Industrial Technologies Fund (led by Matterwave Ventures, the former btov Industrial Technologies team) and BM H from Wiesbadan, TVARIT is positioning itself for future growth on a global scale.

TVARIT has developed one of the most advanced Industrial AI technologies for sustainable and zero-waste manufacturing. With the Deep Tech products and prescriptive AI, manufacturing companies not only receive preemptive signals, but also recommended actions to optimize production processes. This leads to a significant reduction in direct costs such as scrap and indirect costs such as resource-wastage and CO2 emissions.

TVARIT’s unique prescriptive engine has patented “Hybrid AI” technology, which combines shopfloor physics with state-of-the-art Deep Learning technology. Hybrid AI significantly reduces implementation time to 4 weeks with almost 100% prediction accuracy. It’s like having automatic cruise control in a car, because you now have radar with human like intelligence, it prevents the avoidable crashes.

In recent months, TVARIT has constantly achieved great results in reducing scrap and energy for its manufacturing clients, which has further fueled TVARIT’s organic revenue growth. Among others, the company succeeded in winning MAXION, one of the largest automotive wheel manufacturers in the world, as a customer and became its sole AI partner for their world-wide implementation, due to its outstanding performance in reducing production scrap and optimizing energy.

Founders Suhas Patel and Rahul Prajapat have already raised capital in various investment rounds since its inception in 2019. In addition to Futury Capital, who is again participating in the recent funding round, various business angels had already invested in TVARIT. To meet the increasing demand, TVARIT has already hired a chief growth officer, product developers, data scientists, and additional business development and sales staff.

In addition to expanding the technology, the new capital will primarily be used to expand the technical and sales team to meet the high customer demand and further scale the company. Apart from metal processing, other process industries such as the food industry are to be developed in the future.
