Frankfurt am Main/ Kassel, Germany, October 12th, 2021 – The German start-up Twinsity has raised a seven-figure seed-investment in a funding round led by C3 EOS VC Fund.
Founded in 2019, Twinsity develops SaaS solutions for producing digital 3D replicas of real, existing objects, so-called digital twins. With Twinsity’s SaaS platform, TwinSpect, highly detailed inspections of infrastructure, buildings and industrial plants can be conducted virtually.
Users from the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry can use a combination of high-resolution digital twins and drone imagery to precisely identify, mark and measure damaged areas while working both collaboratively and entirely remotely with their teams. Today, Twinsity works with leading international construction companies, engineering firms and general contractors on various large-scale projects for building and infrastructure inspections and maintenance of industrial facilities. Companies that have already implemented the software in their work processes include, among others, PCL Construction, a leading Canadian general contractor. Furthermore, Twinsity is working to build a global partner network with leading drone service providers to increase visibility and global reach.
“With our digital twin platform, we want to improve and simplify the work processes of a wide range of industries by working on further development every day. The opportunities that are inherent in the use of digital twins are incredibly large and we want to be a major part in the further expansion of these possibilities,“ explains Fabien Chalas, CEO and co-founder of Twinsity.
The planned integration of blockchain technology into the TwinSpect SaaS solution is intended to allow users to conduct virtual surveys with anti-counterfeiting security.
“The use of blockchain technology is predestined for this use-case. With the integration of the Digital Twin solution into the inspection process, a significant reduction of potential security risks, as well as an increase in efficiency and cost savings will be achieved,” explains Juan Rodriguez, Managing Partner of C3 EOS VC Fund.
In the future, Twinsity will continue to develop its SaaS solution for highly innovative asset lifecycle management based on the current TwinSpect platform thanks to a rapidly growing team. The company and its Digital Twin technology will bring further solutions to market to simplify and improve work processes in further industries, such as real estate and insurance.
C3 EOS VC Fund is a partnership between Block.one and FinLab, an investor in financial services technologies and blockchain globally.
