Which startups have the best prospects of soon completing a successful funding round? We gaze into the crystal ball and present five companies that are ready for investment.
When evaluating which startups are ready for investment, we orient ourselves towards the “Dealroom Signal” from Munich Startup Insights. This evaluates companies based on four categories: “Timing” indicates how much time has passed since the last funding round; “Growth Rate” refers to the startup’s growth rate; “Founding Team” looks at the founders and what successes they have already achieved; and “Completeness” finally refers to the startup’s data within the Insights. Startups can achieve a maximum score of 100 in all four categories, as well as in the overall rating. (Photo: cac_tus / stock.adobe.com)
The Munich healthtech startup Deepeye Medical has developed an innovative diagnostic solution to prevent blindness. In 2021, Manuel Opitz, an entrepreneur in health technology, and Ratko Petrovic, a software developer at several healthtech startups, founded Deepeye Medical together with a group of leading ophthalmologists. With its platform, the startup specializes in treating age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which attacks the central area of the retina. At the end of 2023, Deepeye Medical secured seed funding of 2.5 million euros, and the Dealroom Signal now stands at 84 points. While it’s not the timing (9 points) that pushes the score up here, but rather the growth rate and completeness. Both categories are at 90 points. (Photo: Deepeye Medical)
Kertos was founded in November 2021 by Kilian Schmidt, Johannes Hussak and Alexander Prams. According to its own statements, the company offers the first European data protection and compliance product that automates operational business processes. Kertos’ solution does not require its own programming knowledge for implementation. In a seed round in spring 2023, the young company secured four million euros. The Dealroom Signal currently considers the timing (100 points) to be perfect for another funding boost. Overall, Kertos achieves a score of 84 points. (Photo: Kertos)
Conxai leverages the infrastructure that already exists on construction sites to digitalize them. The AI platform collects and analyzes data from cameras and other available sensors to analyze construction activities and interpret how they affect the development of building structures. This allows construction sites to be monitored automatically in real time and cost-optimizing events, safety, quality and logistics can be identified and reported. Additionally, a clear dashboard makes all registered events on a construction site searchable. In January 2022, Conxai closed a seed round of 2.7 million euros, and the next round should be in sight according to the Dealroom Signal, which gives the startup 100 points for timing.

Tanso enables companies to determine their carbon footprint. The Munich startup thus operates in a rapidly growing market: Previously, only large corporations were subject to reporting requirements for CO2 emissions. Starting in 2025, however, any company with annual revenue exceeding 40 million euros, a balance sheet total of 20 million euros or more than 250 employees must calculate and publish their own carbon footprint as part of regular annual reporting. A funding injection of 6.5 million euros already flowed into the company’s account in April 2023, and for the next round, timing stands at 100 points. Overall, the Dealroom Signal classifies Tanso at 79 points. (Photo: Tanso)
Alasco aims to bring the construction and real estate industry to the same level as digitally leading industries. For this purpose, the startup has developed cloud-based software that makes financial controlling and ESG management easier for project developers, building contractors and asset managers. Since its founding in 2018, the Munich startup has received much support from investors. Investors such as HV Capital, Picus Capital, Global Founders Capital and also the Flixbus founders have already invested in Alasco. Most recently, the startup closed its Series B of 35 million euros at the end of 2021 – so the next investment could come. In the Dealroom Signal, Alasco achieves 78 points, with 67 points in the timing category. (Image: Alasco)
