In the bustling world of German startups, August 2025 was a month marked by significant investments and mergers. Here's a rundown of some of the key events that took place.
HealthTech Startups Shine
Two HealthTech startups, aiomics and Ortivity, secured substantial investments to drive their expansion. aiomics, a Berlin-based startup focused on creating an AI-driven operating system for the healthcare industry, received a €250,000 investment from Norrsken Evolve. On the other hand, Munich-based Ortivity, a doctor-led HealthTech company, secured a €200 million investment from Unigestion and new Apheon investors. The investment in Ortivity also involved a partial exit of existing shareholders.
Ortivity, which operates over 100 medical centers in Germany, will use the fresh capital to further its orthopedic care offerings. Meanwhile, aiomics aims to use its funds to strengthen its focus on seamless data integration, patient satisfaction, and easy compliance in the healthcare industry.
AI Solutions for Hospitality and Waste Management
In the hospitality sector, Leipzig-based startup Onsai raised over €1 million from SIVentures, Willem van der Zee, and Wolfgang M. Neumann. Onsai offers an AI solution for the hospitality industry and plans to use the funds for product range development, European market expansion, team reinforcement, and the integration of further hotel systems.
Meanwhile, Everwave, a startup that develops technological solutions to remove plastic waste from rivers before it reaches the oceans, received an undisclosed investment from Viessmann Generations Group, KSK-Wagniskapital, SistaAct, and the European Social Innovation and Impact Fund (ESIIF).
Mergers and Acquisitions
The month also saw a few mergers and acquisitions. Food wholesaler Gladrow acquired the insolvent Berlin-based B2B food startup Querfeld. Querfeld, which focuses on misshapen fruits and vegetables, will have its business carefully transferred under the leadership of Gladrow.
In the health and wellness sector, Bergblut, a bio juice cleanse startup, acquired the juice cleanse brand Pressbar. The merger will expand the range, production, and distribution in the DACH region for both companies.
Startup Investments Continue to Thrive
August 2025 was a testament to the thriving startup ecosystem in Germany. German AI startup Paddy secured a 1 million euro investment from HTGF and several angel investors. Another AI-focused startup, Onsai, also raised over 1 million euros. Prominent German venture capital funds such as Project A Ventures, Angel Invest, and Realyze Ventures have been allocating millions to various startups, with specific details for August investments exceeding 1 million euros identified primarily for Paddy and Onsai.
These investments and mergers underscore the continued interest and support for startups in Germany, particularly in sectors like AI, healthcare, hospitality, and waste management. As these startups grow and innovate, they are poised to make a significant impact on their respective industries and the broader economy.
