Alfred advised EthonAI on its CHF 16.5 million Series A funding round.


We are thrilled to announce that Alfred has successfully supported EthonAI in their Series A financing round, securing a remarkable $16.5 million! This milestone was led by Index Ventures, with participation from General Catalyst, Earlybird Venture Capital, and Founderful.


Our dedicated team, including Thierry Barbey (Founding Partner) and Sandro Stich (Senior Associate), expertly navigated the negotiations, ensuring a smooth and successful process.


"Manufacturing is at a critical juncture, and companies that fail to adapt with AI risk falling behind. We’re in the throes of a global rethinking of how manufacturing is done – with digitalization, data and AI at the center. That’s exactly where EthonAI is positioned." - Julian Senoner, CEO EthonAI

This investment will propel EthonAI to the forefront of manufacturing analytics, driving both top-line and bottom-line performance improvements.


We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the entire EthonAI team and express our gratitude for the opportunity to support such an innovative and forward-thinking company. We look forward to seeing all the incredible advancements you will achieve with this new funding.
