octonomy, a Germany-based artificial intelligence company developing agentic systems for complex enterprise support and service operations, announced the closing of a $20 million seed funding round led by Macquarie Capital Venture Capital, with additional investment from Capnamic, NRW.Bank, and the TechVision Fund. The total capital raised since establishment 15 months ago now stands at $25 million.
octonomy builds AI systems for heavy equipment industries that analyze extensive and complex data sources including technical manuals, schematics, standard operating procedures, maintenance logs, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) data. The proprietary platform achieves 95 percent accuracy (based on testing across reference datasets), minimizing unplanned downtime, accelerating service processes, and enabling large-scale deployment. While conventional AI tools often struggle with unstructured or specialized data, octonomy’s agentic architecture allows technical teams to understand, interpret, and act effectively on complex documentation.
“Eighty percent of all AI projects fail as soon as things get complex. That’s exactly where we come in. Our agents deliver verified 95+ percent response quality, empowering teams often accustomed to 50 percent. accuracy rates with standard AI platforms. With Macquarie Capital Venture Capital at our side, we gain an international partner to make octonomy broadly available across Europe and the USA.”
— Sushel Bijganath, CEO, octonomy AI
