Munich, October 20th, 2015 – Bryan, Garnier & Co GmbH (former Cartagena Capital) has acted as the exclusive financial advisor to tado°, the European market leader in intelligent home climate control, on a $17.1m equity financing from Siemens Venture Capital, BayBG, and Statkraft Ventures. Existing investors Target Partners and Shortcut Ventures also participated in the round.
The tado° Smart Thermostat and Smart AC Control products connect any heating and air conditioning system to the internet. The geo-aware tado° smartphone app automatically senses when nobody is at home and turns down the heating or AC to save energy. As soon as one of the residents starts to head home, tado° reacts immediately and warms or cools the house to the desired temperature. Local weather forecasts and adapting algorithms further help to save up to 31% on energy costs, while improving home comfort. Users also benefit from repair and energy-related services such as the “tado° Care” offering.
tado° CEO, Christian Deilmann, commented: “Cartagena Capital was a tremendous asset to us and provided dedicated support throughout the transaction process, allowing management to focus on running the business. Their extensive network throughout the world enabled us to access the tier one capital we were after.”
