osapiens raises USD $100m to reach unicorn status

osapiens has raised USD $100 million in a Series C funding round led by Decarbonization Partners, the investment venture backed by BlackRock and Temasek. The company said the financing takes it to unicorn status.

Decarbonization Partners will join existing investors Goldman Sachs Alternatives and Armira Growth. Goldman Sachs Alternatives led a USD $120 million Series B round in 2024, while Armira Growth led a USD $27 million Series A round in 2023.

Founded in 2018 by Alberto Zamora, Stefan Wawrzinek and Matthias Jungblut, osapiens is headquartered in Mannheim, Germany. The company develops sustainability and compliance software for enterprises.

Its software is delivered through the osapiens HUB, a platform comprising more than 25 solutions focused on regulatory compliance, sustainability and operational efficiency across corporate value chains. The platform runs on a multi-tenant infrastructure and incorporates AI-driven automation and cross-company collaboration.

Reporting pressure

The funding comes amid evolving sustainability and supply chain reporting requirements in major markets. European companies have faced new regulatory obligations in recent years, including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and supply chain due diligence rules, while the UK has advanced its own regulatory frameworks.

In response, businesses have been investing in internal systems and software to collect, verify and report non-financial data in line with new standards. osapiens operates in this market with tools covering reporting, supplier compliance and product compliance, alongside capabilities for risk management and supply chain transparency. The company said its software addresses cyber, trade and geopolitical risks.

osapiens did not disclose its post-money valuation, the size of Decarbonization Partners' stake, or the participation level of existing investors, but confirmed the round places the company in the unicorn category.

The company said proceeds will be used for product innovation and expansion across existing and new international markets, without specifying priority regions or product areas.

osapiens reported more than 2,400 customers worldwide, including BAT, Tesco and DS Smith, as well as Coca-Cola North America, Lidl, Carrefour, OTTO and the Acciona–Nordex Group. It employs more than 550 staff across Europe and the United States.

Decarbonization Partners focuses on late-stage venture capital and early growth private equity investments linked to a net-zero global economy by 2050. The partnership said it has attracted USD $1.40 billion from more than 30 institutional investors across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.

osapiens said Decarbonization Partners will lead the Series C round, subject to regulatory approvals.

"This investment is a strong validation of our strategy and our long-term vision," said Alberto Zamora, Co-CEO and Co-Founder, osapiens. "It demonstrates that sustainable growth and AI-driven efficiency remain top priorities for global investors. Decarbonization Partners is an exceptional partner for us. With a focus on sustainability and the combined global presence and investment expertise of BlackRock and Temasek, they bring exactly the perspective and scale we need for our next phase of growth to become the indisputable global category leader in sustainable growth for enterprises of all sizes."

Matthias Jungblut highlighted the regulatory backdrop shaping the market. "Decarbonization Partners understands both the regulatory dynamics companies face today and the business opportunity of AI-driven efficiency that comes with it. Their deep experience in scaling category-defining technology companies makes them a perfect strategic fit alongside Goldman Sachs Alternatives and Armira Growth," he said.

Decarbonization Partners pointed to osapiens' position in managing supply chain complexity and compliance. "osapiens is redefining how companies achieve transparency, compliance, and operational excellence across increasingly complex supply chains," said Dr. Meghan Sharp. "Enterprises around the world are looking for trusted, scalable software to meet rising regulatory, sustainability and decarbonization expectations. osapiens' platform delivers the clarity organizations need to operate and grow responsibly."

osapiens said it expects to continue international expansion and product development following the Series C round.
