SET Ventures and AENU back Berlin heat pump platform that has grown revenue 7x to scale profitable growth, multifamily homes, and AI-powered energy management
Berlin, 8 June 2026 | GALVANY has raised EUR 10 million in Seed financing to expand its heat pump platform for Germany’s existing building stock. The round is led by European energytech investor SET Ventures, with Berlin-based climate tech fund AENU as co-lead.
The fresh capital will support GALVANY’s next phase of profitable growth, with a focus on scaling its solution for multifamily homes, further developing its AI-powered energy management system, and expanding its contractor and sales partner network across Germany.
Founded in Berlin in 2022 by Raik Belka, GALVANY has built an end-to-end platform for the installation, operation and optimisation of heat pump systems. The company has installed more than 2,500 heat pump systems to date, avoiding over 3,850 tonnes of CO₂. In 2025, GALVANY generated EUR 20.1 million in revenue, seven times more than the previous year, and closed the year with positive EBIT.
At the centre of the platform is the GALVANY Cube, a modular heat pump system produced together with Panasonic in Pilsen. The hardware is combined with GALVANY Fusion, the company’s energy management system, which connects heat pumps, battery storage, and dynamic electricity tariffs into one integrated energy system.
The company will use the funding to advance three priorities:
- First, it will expand its offering for multifamily homes in the existing building market. This segment represents one of the largest opportunities for CO₂ reduction in German heating, particularly for housing companies and portfolio owners.
- Second, the company will further develop GALVANY Fusion into an AI-powered energy operating system. The software is designed to orchestrate load profiles in real time and translate dynamic electricity tariffs into measurable savings for customers.
- Third, the company will scale its contractor and sales network. By combining partner-based installation capacity with its own sales organisation, the company aims to accelerate nationwide deployment without relying on a costly fully direct model.
GALVANY’s customer proposition is built around a clear promise: “The first heating system that pays for itself.” Through dynamic electricity tariffs, load shifting, and spot market optimisation, the company aims to reduce heating and electricity costs for customers over time. The first version of the GALVANY app is scheduled for release this summer, enabling customers to digitally control their full energy system.
“We are building the infrastructure that will finally make the heat transition work in existing buildings,” said Raik Belka, Founder and CEO of GALVANY. “In Germany, heat pumps do not fail because of the technology. They fail because of the gap between subsidy bureaucracy, installation capacity, and economic viability for the end customer. This is exactly the gap we are closing with a platform that makes every link in the chain measurably better while sustaining itself. Closing this round from a profitable position is proof that the heat transition can scale on strong economics.”
“The next phase of the energy transition will not be decided by hardware alone, but by the software that intelligently links generation, storage, and consumption,” said Dr. Till Stenzel, Partner at SET Ventures. “GALVANY is one of the few European companies that thinks this through from the end device all the way to the power grid. With its platform and energy management system, the heat pump evolves from a heating device into an active element of a digitally controlled energy system.”
“The heat transition is the largest unsolved piece of European decarbonisation, and one of the most capital-intensive,” said Philip Specht, Partner at AENU. “What convinced us about GALVANY is the discipline with which the team brings together cost, efficiency, and customer value. Profitability at the Seed stage is rare in climate tech. It shows that GALVANY has built a business model that can scale without becoming dependent on short-term subsidy cycles.”
