TLDR: Makersite, a leader in product lifecycle intelligence, has successfully raised €60 million in a Series B funding round. This significant investment, co-led by Lightrock and Partech, will accelerate the development and global expansion of its AI-powered platform, which helps manufacturers enhance product sustainability, compliance, and cost efficiency.
Stuttgart, Germany – July 22, 2025 – Makersite, the innovative company behind an AI-powered product lifecycle intelligence platform, today announced it has secured €60 million in Series B funding. This substantial capital injection is set to propel Makersite’s mission to make sustainable product design the industry standard, enabling manufacturers to create products that are not only affordable and safe but also environmentally responsible.
The funding round was co-led by prominent investors Lightrock and Partech. SE Ventures also joined the round, converting its December 2024 CLN. Demonstrating strong confidence in Makersite’s vision and trajectory, all Series A investors, including Hitachi Ventures, KOMPAS VC, Translink Capital, and Planet A, also participated in this latest round. While the company has not disclosed its valuation, the scale of the investment and the continued support from existing backers underscore the robust momentum Makersite has achieved.
Makersite’s platform addresses the critical challenge of sustainability in manufacturing, a sector responsible for approximately 19% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The company’s software empowers manufacturers to balance cost, safety, and environmental impact by providing deep insights into their supply chains. The AI-powered system takes fragmented and inconsistent customer data, cleans, connects, and structures it using artificial intelligence. This enriched data is then combined with Makersite’s proprietary data foundation, which is one of the most comprehensive sources of supply chain information available, detailing material and component costs, environmental footprints, and regulatory statuses.
Neil D’Souza, CEO and Founder of Makersite, emphasized the significance of this milestone: “This investment marks a critical milestone in our mission to make sustainable product design the default. Securing this level of commitment—especially in today’s uncertain economic and geopolitical environment—demonstrates the strength of our business case and the urgency of our mission.” He added that the funding would enable Makersite to “accelerate platform development, deepen integration with our technology partners, and scale our impact globally.”
The platform offers powerful tools and system integrations that allow cross-functional teams to analyze design and procurement decisions in real-time. It also streamlines performance reporting, helping customers communicate key metrics such as cost, carbon emissions, product compliance, and risk to internal stakeholders, customers, and regulators. Makersite currently serves leading global manufacturers, including Microsoft, Daikin, Cummins, Barco, and Schneider Electric, assisting them in developing safer, more sustainable, and compliant products. The platform seamlessly integrates with widely used product lifecycle management (PLM) systems like Siemens’ Teamcenter® and PTC Windchill, as well as CAD tools such as Ansys and Autodesk.
