Berlin — PropTech company metr Buil­ding Manage­ment Systems has secu­red a new inves­tor in SBG — Säch­si­sche Betei­li­gungs­ge­sell­schaft mbH. In addi­tion, Kachel GmbH (a subsi­diary of WIKA Alex­an­der Wiegand SE & Co. KG), IBB Capi­tal GmbH, BRAWO Capi­tal GmbH, Next Big Thing AG, and exis­ting busi­ness angels once again parti­ci­pa­ted in the finan­cing round. 

Ariane Neubauer, an equity part­ner at HEUKING’s Berlin office, and Dr. Henrik Lay, an equity part­ner at HEUKING’s Hamburg office, provi­ded compre­hen­sive advice to metr Buil­ding Manage­ment Systems GmbH in connec­tion with its Series B finan­cing round tota­ling appro­xi­m­ately EUR 10.5 million.

In fiscal year 2025, metr increased its reve­nue by more than 80 percent compared to the previous year, achie­ved a net reten­tion rate of over 140 percent, and now serves more than 80 clients in the housing indus­try, asset manage­ment, and corpo­rate real estate sectors.

In addi­tion to the strong key metrics, the decisive factors for the invest­ment were, in parti­cu­lar, the proven product-market fit, the estab­lished tech­no­logy, and the growth poten­tial of the target market. metr is using the capi­tal to further deve­lop its tech­no­logy, expand its opera­tio­nal infra­struc­ture, and scale the plat­form further—including by estab­li­shing a hub in Saxony and prepa­ring for inter­na­tio­nal expansion. 

The Series B funding round thus marks an important mile­stone for metr

It provi­des the finan­cial foun­da­tion needed to further expand the company’s market posi­tion and initiate the next phase of growth. The company’s long-term goal is to become the leading Euro­pean plat­form for energy-effi­ci­ent exis­ting buildings. 

metr deve­lops AI-based soft­ware solu­ti­ons for opti­mi­zing energy consump­tion in exis­ting buil­dings. The plat­form combi­nes energy manage­ment and heating opti­miza­tion into a single inte­gra­ted solu­tion, enab­ling signi­fi­cant energy savings—without the need for costly retro­fits. Thanks to its univer­sal compa­ti­bi­lity with exis­ting heating systems, buil­ding owners and property mana­gers can improve the energy effi­ci­ency of their buil­dings, reduce opera­ting costs, and safe­guard property value over the long term.
