Nido, a Madrid-based startup, has raised €5 million in a Seed funding round. This will help the company to fully improve its innovative platform focused on the design, commercialization, and installation of residential heat pump systems, thereby speeding the transition process in Europe toward clean energy.

The funding round attracted a diverse group of investors, including prominent entities such as Iberdrola, Ship2B Ventures (through the BSocial Impact Fund, supported by Banco Sabadell, the European Investment Fund, and AXIS), Zubi Labs, Decelera Ventures, and Silence VC. 

Additionally, institutional support was provided by the Instituto Valenciano de Finanzas (IVF), the city of Valencia, and ENISA. The round also saw participation from over 15 national and international business angels, underscoring widespread confidence in Nido’s mission and business model. 

Founded in 2023 by German Peralta, Julien Poitout, Matthieu Heusch, and Pedro Pablo Aparicio, Nido aims to simplify the adoption of heat pump technology in residential settings. The company’s platform integrates advanced technologies, including 3D modeling and artificial intelligence, to optimize the design and installation processes of aerothermal systems. 

By connecting installers, suppliers, and customers through a streamlined digital interface, Nido enhances efficiency and accessibility in the deployment of sustainable heating and cooling solutions.

Strategic Objectives and Future Plans

With the newly acquired capital, Nido plans to expand its digital solutions across Europe, aiming to facilitate the energy transition through innovative approaches.

The company intends to invest in the development of its technological platform, focusing on integrating AI-driven tools, expanding its engineering capacity, and improving its marketplace to better connect installers, suppliers, and customers.

Since its inception, Nido has achieved significant milestones, including surpassing €1 million in sales in 2024 and contributing to a reduction of 420 tons of CO₂ emissions annually through its platform.

The company focuses on aerothermal technology, which uses heat exchange with the surrounding air to provide efficient heating and cooling. This is a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuel-based systems. Nido plays a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and advancing environmental sustainability by promoting the adoption of heat pumps. 

Investors have expressed strong support for Nido’s vision and approach. Óscar Cantalejo, Head of Perseo, Iberdrola’s open innovation program, said, “At Perseo, we look for innovative startups that help us accelerate the energy transition. Nido is a great partner, showing in real life that technology plays an increasingly important role in bringing more efficient and sustainable solutions to homes with a real and measurable impact on decarbonization, like aerothermal technology.

” Jaime de Antonio, Investment Manager at Ship2B Ventures, said, “We invested in Nido because of its integral approach towards installations of the aerothermal kind – with a systemized impact on energy efficiency in homes and on transitioning to a more sustainable and resilient model. We’re also excited to support their cross-European expansion.”

Founders’ Vision and Commitment The founders of Nido are committed to making sustainable heating and cooling solutions more accessible. CEO German Peralta emphasized, “This investment is a major step toward our goal of democratizing access to heat pumps in Europe.” The leadership team is focused on leveraging the new funding to enhance their platform’s capabilities and expand their reach, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable future.
