The funding round was backed by investors including Sustainable Future Ventures and Regal London to further develop physical and digital technologies.
"Building energy efficient, affordable housing without the waste and carbon footprint that accompanies traditional construction has never been more critical. Modular delivery is really the only way the housing crisis can be resolved, but, for many, the upfront capital investment has held back the industry’s ability to scale. We are keen to prove that by collaborating with each other, the industry can move forward with transparency and cost certainty front and centre. That’s why we are delighted to have completed this Series A round in the most testing funding environment for decades. It’s a testament to the potential we have to solve the housing crisis and, to the amazing team we have built."
The funding round was led by Ashcombe with backing from Grosvenor and PiLabs to support growth in the commercial real estate sector.
"This investment underlines the confidence that both the property industry and investors have in our technology as key to reducing the impact of buildings on climate change. Demand Logic is far and away the fastest route to net zero for property stakeholders. This funding, and the huge injection of domain expertise from our new Chair Gavin Starks, marks an upward change in gear for Demand Logic as we step up our intensity and determination to decarbonise the commercial real estate sector. We are now recruiting across all parts of the business, so please get in touch if you feel you have what it takes to help us."
EMV Capital led the Series A investment to support the rollout of underfloor insulation technology across domestic and international markets.
"We are pleased that following the strategy review and changes to the company launched by the Board in 2021, we are now seeing accelerated growth for the business in terms of sales, the on-boarding of a series of key partners and continued investor support. We recognise the challenges associated with rising energy bills and are fortunate to be part of worthwhile solutions to reducing energy demands and associated emissions and costs. We are looking forward to being able to offer our quality assured underfloor thermal insulation to even more homes in the coming year."
Zero Carbon Capital led the pre-seed round, with participation from Carbon13 and angel investors.
"BioZeroc’s insight is rooted in nature, where microorganisms create extremely strong structures like coral. We use the power of cutting-edge biotechnology to optimise and scale up a similar bacterial process that binds together the aggregate, replacing the need for conventional cement altogether,"
