Slovak AI startup DAITABLE raises €1M seed to cut factory energy bills
What's the deal? DAITABLEDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, a Slovak startup that uses AI to monitor and reduce energy consumption in factories, hospitals, and large buildings, has raised a €1 million seed round. The lead investor is not a fund but an entrepreneur from the industrial sector.
What's the endgame? Founded by Šimon StaňoDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, DAITABLE deploys its platform in high-profile facilities — including the Slovak Presidential Palace — to lower energy use. The company positions itself as applied AI that delivers measurable cost savings rather than a speculative bet.
Why now? The deal reportedly came together not in a boardroom but over a fast-food meal, sealed in a single conversation. It follows rounds in which DAITABLE secured backing from Czech Founders VCDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → and another investor, signalling steady momentum for the company across multiple rounds.
By the numbers: At €1 million, the round sits in roughly the 22nd percentile for seed deals by amount — a modest raise that reflects the early stage of both the company and its capital-light, application-focused approach.
What could go wrong? Relying on a single industrial entrepreneur as lead investor rather than an institutional fund can limit follow-on support and networks. As a young company scaling into critical facilities, DAITABLE also faces the challenge of proving its savings consistently across very different environments.
The signal: In a cooler funding climate across Central and Eastern Europe, energy-optimisation and climate-tech startups remain among the few categories still drawing capital. DAITABLE's new backing suggests investors continue to favour applied AI with a clear, real-world return.
