We are excited to announce our latest investment in Lichtwart, a German company that is rethinking the way businesses manage their outdoor lighting installations

The three founders, Gregor Giataganas, Johannes Mailänder and Jackson Bond, set out to make exterior building-related lighting more energy efficient and easier to maintain, while significantly reducing operating costs, improving ESG criteria, and actively addressing the growing problem of light pollution.

The seven-figure round, co-led by Vireo Ventures and our friends at BitStone Capital, supported by better ventures, will allow Lichtwart to expand its feature set and launch its first major international project with one of the world’s leading manufacturers of illuminated signs – spanning several hundred locations on three continents 🌎

With a surging demand for energy efficient lighting and a market expected to grow substantially in the coming years, Lichtwart is ready to scale to become the global standard for lighting control and maintenance.

We at Vireo are very excited to accompany them on this journey.
Congrats to Gregor, Johannes and Jackson – this is a big milestone!
