BERLIN – April 4, 2025 – Global law firm Greenberg Traurig has advised Alter Equity, France’s pioneering venture capital impact fund, on all legal aspects of its role as lead investor in the €6 million seed financing round of Berlin-based startup montamo GmbH.
The financing round also included Rethink Education as a new follower investor, alongside continued support from existing shareholders Project A Ventures and Firstminute Capital. With this investment in montamo, Alter Equity is further strengthening its presence in the German market. The Paris-based VC fund focuses on investing in European startups that drive the transition toward a more sustainable and responsible economy.
montamo, headquartered in Berlin with expanding operations in Munich and Stuttgart, trains new specialists in heat pump installation through its in-house academy and digital solutions. The company places particular emphasis on supporting career changers, many of whom come from migrant backgrounds.
