Repath is a Hamburg-based climate tech startup founded in 2021 that provides an AI-driven SaaS platform for energy companies to assess and manage physical climate risks at the asset level.[1][2][3] The platform analyzes over 13 climate hazards (e.g., floods, heat, storms) across 11+ asset types using 400+ regional climate model simulations, identifying vulnerabilities, forecasting impacts like damages or efficiency losses, and recommending adaptation strategies via tools like an AI Co-Pilot.[1][3][5][6] It serves energy infrastructure firms (e.g., utilities, oil & gas), real estate, supply chains, and transportation, solving the problem of inaccessible climate data by translating scientific insights into actionable financial metrics like ROI, depreciation, and IRR sensitivity.[2][3][4][6]
Repath has shown strong growth momentum: a €1.2M pre-seed round in 2022 doubled its team plans, followed by a €3.6M seed in 2024 led by Lightbird and Greencode Ventures, with participation from WENVEST, Auxxo Female Catalyst Fund, Nucleus Capital, better ventures, and Triple Impact Ventures; the 15-person team now aims to expand tech, team, and market position toward becoming the leading climate adaptation platform by 2030.[1][3][4]
Repath emerged from climate research at the University of Hamburg and Germany's Climate Service Center (GERICS).[1][2] Founders Dr. Thomas Remke (Chief Climate Officer, climate expert), Julius Pröll (CEO), Sebastian Bartels (CTO), and Liza Altena (Chief Sales Officer) identified a key gap: companies struggled with complex, hard-to-access climate data amid rising physical risks from extreme weather.[2][3][4] Their complementary skills—scientific, commercial, technical—drove the 2021 founding of a research-based SaaS solution to make climate science practical for businesses.[1][3]
Early traction included a €1.2M pre-seed in December 2022 from Nucleus Capital, WENVEST, Auxxo, better ventures, and angels like Zenloop and commercetools founders, funding platform completion and team growth to ~10 hires by Q1 2023.[4] This built to the pivotal €3.6M seed, affirming their vision for climate-resilient infrastructure.[1][3]
Repath rides the climate adaptation megatrend, where escalating physical risks from extreme weather threaten $ trillions in energy infrastructure amid net-zero transitions and regulations like EU CSRD/CSAM demanding risk reporting.[1][3] Timing is ideal: post-COP commitments amplify demand for data-driven tools in a nascent market Greencode calls "untapped," as energy firms upgrade assets for resilience while expanding renewables.[3] Market forces like intensifying events (floods, heat) and investor scrutiny on ESG favor repath's focus, influencing the ecosystem by empowering "informed decisions" on builds/upgrades, accelerating green transitions beyond mitigation to adaptation.[1][3][5]
Repath is poised to scale as the go-to platform for critical infrastructure resilience, leveraging seed funds for AI enhancements, team growth, and energy sector dominance before vertical/region expansion.[1][3] Trends like AI-climate integration, regulatory mandates, and $100B+ adaptation markets will propel it; expect Series A traction by 2026-2027 if milestones hit, evolving influence from startup to ecosystem shaper in climate-resilient energy.[3] This Hamburg innovator, born from science, exemplifies how tech bridges research to real-world impact against escalating climate threats.
