GRUENDELPARTNER advises bm|t on DeepEn’s seed funding round

Beteiligungsmanagement Thüringen (bm|t), together with MBG Thüringen and Sparkasse Jena-Saale-Holzland, is investing a seven-figure sum as part of a seed funding round for DeepEn GmbH.

DeepEn is a pioneer in holographic endoscopy and uses algorithms and holographic techniques to precisely control laser light as it travels through a single optical fibre. Once the optical fibre is inserted into an organ, it can focus the light beam into a sharp spot, enabling laser scanning microscopy in previously inaccessible, deep tissue regions. This innovative technology was honoured with the European Microscopy Society’s Life Sciences Award 2024.

bm|t, based in Erfurt, is a subsidiary of Thüringer Aufbaubank and currently manages twelve investment funds with a total volume of EUR 445 million; it invests in innovative and high-growth companies across all sectors and at all stages of development.

GRUENDELPARTNER provided legal advice to the lead investor, bm|t, during the financing round.
