Welcome to ETH-spin-off Manukai!
Bloomhaus is excited to welcome Pascal Weber and Daniel Wälchli, founders of the ETH-spin-off Manukai in the portfolio family. ETH spin-off Manukai has raised $3 million in an oversubscribed pre-seed funding round led by Swiss VC QBIT Capital, with participation from Bloomhaus Ventures, Innosuisse, and a group of angel investors. This marks a significant milestone in Manukai’s mission to create novel AI models that unlock the value of data in manufacturing.
