Revalue Raises €2.2M Seed to Scale AI-Driven Circular Operations Platform
Revalue Secures €2.2M Seed Round
Revalue, a French software company building an AI-driven platform for end-of-use product decisions, has raised €2.2 million in seed funding. The round was led by Asterion Ventures, with participation from Kima Ventures and Hoji Ventures.
What Revalue Does
Revalue's platform helps industrial companies decide — equipment by equipment — whether to repair, exchange, recondition, reuse, dismantle, or recycle products at the end of their use. The company positions these after-sales and circular operations as profit centers rather than cost burdens, giving industrial businesses a structured way to extract value from products that have reached the end of their initial lifecycle.
The decision layer is powered by AI, and the platform is designed to operate at the individual equipment level rather than treating end-of-life handling as a blanket process.
Company Background
Revalue was founded in 2025 in Grenoble, France, by Charles Souillard. Souillard previously built and sold a software company, bringing prior founder and exit experience to the new venture.
Despite its recent founding, Revalue reports traction with recognizable customers, including Fnac Darty and industrial pump specialist Hermetic Mecaflux. The company says it handles more than 100,000 revalorized products per year.
Funding Details
- Round type: Seed
- Amount: €2.2 million
- Lead investor: Asterion Ventures
- Additional investors: Kima Ventures, Hoji Ventures

Why This Round Matters
The seed round gives Revalue capital to build on early commercial momentum. The company already counts two named customers across retail and industrial equipment, and its stated volume of more than 100,000 revalorized products per year suggests the platform is handling real operational throughput rather than pilot-stage experimentation.
The investor group combines a lead in Asterion Ventures with Kima Ventures and Hoji Ventures, providing a mix of backing as Revalue looks to expand its footprint in the circular economy software space.
The Market Context
Industrial companies face growing pressure to manage products at end of use more deliberately — whether for regulatory, sustainability, or financial reasons. Revalue's approach frames that pressure as an opportunity: instead of defaulting to disposal, companies can evaluate each piece of equipment for repair, exchange, reconditioning, reuse, dismantling, or recycling, and capture value from the option that makes the most sense.
That positioning places Revalue at the intersection of after-sales operations and circular economy software, two areas where industrial firms are increasingly looking for tooling rather than manual processes.
What to Watch
With fresh seed capital and an experienced founder, Revalue's next milestones will likely center on expanding its customer base beyond its early named accounts and deepening the platform's decision capabilities. The company's ability to convert its existing volume — more than 100,000 revalorized products annually — into broader industrial adoption will be a key indicator of traction in the coming months.
For acquisition watchers, Revalue represents an early-stage asset in circular economy software with an experienced founder, named enterprise customers, and a clear operational use case in industrial after-sales.
