TetraxAI – born in Berlin Cohort 3 of our Venture Builder programme – raises €1.5 million in pre-seed funding to build their AI-driven platform due to diligence and risk management for clean energy infrastructure. The pre-seed round was led by The Footprint Firm with participation from Norrsken Evolve and non-dilutive funding from NEOTEC, Spain’s national deep-tech prestigious grant programme funded by the Centre for Technological Development and Innovation (CDTI).
A legislative nightmare
Volume and speed are essential to meet the global demand for renewable energy. While a large amount of fossil fuel energy structure already exists, for much larger assets, renewables operate on smaller land areas, over shorter development cycles. TetraxAI emerged specifically to remove friction in the legal, risk assessment process that is required before setting up clean energy projects. Utility scale projects contain thousands of documents that can take several weeks to get ready through, fully understand, and analyse.
AI that empowers decision making
To speed up this process, TetraxAI pulls out the key information from these documents from permit approval to land rights and grid connection. This allows developers, investors, IPPs, and asset managers to detect and mitigate risks much faster and at a fraction of the traditional cost. Removing the administrative burden allows senior stakeholders to focus more on strategy, negotiation, and decision-making to approve new development.
New market opportunity
Access to the initial pre-seed funding will allow TetraxAI to build a new software for renewable energy development and M&A, helping teams move faster on clean energy projects across solar, wind, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and biogas.
The team is set-up for success with CEO Marta Vizcaíno Martín, an energy M&A lawyer with 20 years of experience, CTO Arnau Tibau Puig, PhD, who previously led Walmart’s first algorithmic pricing systems in Silicon Valley and COO Ekaterina Filina who adds strong operational and go-to-market experience, having launched Amazon Flex across Europe and Asia.

The easy and obvious problems in climate tech have largely been solved. To really make a difference now, founders need to have deep insight into a specific industry. Marta the CEO & cofounder of Tetrax worked for several decades experiencing the problem the company is solving herself. the biggest bottlenecks in energy and infrastructure deployment are slow, fragmented, manual due diligence. Tetrax’s AI solution turns energy project assessment into a software problem. By structuring market, technical, regulatory and risk data into a single AI-driven platform, they materially cut the time and cost required to take renewable and grid-scale projects from early screening to investment decision.
