Emidat Raises €4 Million in Seed Round
Emidat, a Munich, Germany-based data startup that automates environmental product declarations (EPDs) for construction materials, has raised €4 million in seed funding.
The round was led by U.S. VC firm General Catalyst, a global investment and transformation firm that partners with ambitious entrepreneurs focused on resilience and applied AI. General Catalyst supports founders with a long-term perspective, from seed through growth stages, and has helped grow over 700 businesses. The firm has offices in San Francisco, New York City, Boston, Berlin, Bangalore, and London.
The funding will accelerate commercial growth and product development as regulatory pressures mount.
Founded by Lisa Oberaigner and Florian Fesch, Emidat has built a software platform for automating the generation of validated environmental product declaration (EPD) certificates for the construction sector. Using API, Excel, or BIM uploads, Emidat enables manufacturers to quickly produce verified, AI-backed EPDs that meet EU sustainability standards, streamlining compliance and promoting transparency in environmental impact. Emidat’s platform hosts environmental data on over 150,000 construction products, making it easier for manufacturers to create EPDs.
