Paris-based Homaio has raised €3.6 million in a funding
round led by RAISE Ventures, with participation from Groupe Eren, business
angels, and existing investors XAnge and Redstone, bringing its total funding
to over €5 million.
Founded in 2023, Homaio is an investment platform that
provides retail investors with access to emissions allowance markets, which
have traditionally been limited to institutional participants. These markets
play a central role in climate policy and industrial transformation,
particularly in Europe.
The company structures financial products backed by carbon
allowances, offering a simplified and regulated way to access the market. Since
launch, the platform has attracted users across more than 30 countries and
manages several million euros in assets.
Valentin Lautier, founder of Homaio, said the energy
transition is driven by capital allocation, with the company aiming to enable
private investors to access the markets shaping this shift.
Initially focused on European carbon allowances, Homaio is
expanding its platform to cover a broader range of markets linked to the energy
transition, including international emissions systems and energy sectors tied
to industrial decarbonisation.
The funding will support product development and the
expansion of its offering beyond carbon allowances, with the goal of directing
more private capital toward energy and industrial transition markets.
