Vimano raises Rs 25 Cr in seed round led by Ankur Capital Nanotechnology startup Vimano has raised Rs 25 crore (around $3 million) in its seed round led by Ankur Capital. This is the first investment from Ankur Capital’s new third fund. The proceeds will be used to help them grow their team, start pilot projects, and set up manufacturing. Started in 2019 by Murari Ramkumar and Dr. Nagesh Kini, Vimano makes special membranes used in energy systems like redox flow batteries, fuel cells, and green hydrogen production. These membranes help store and use energy more efficiently. Its technology aims to reduce the cost of green hydrogen and make long-term energy storage cheaper. Vimano works on clean energy problems by making special materials that help electricity flow better. Its membrane technology can be changed to fit different uses, making it more useful and powerful. These membranes also waste less energy and last longer than many others available today. The startup is working with partners in the energy space to test and use its tech in real-world projects. According to Vimano, it aspires to speed up the shift to green energy and support industries looking for better ways to store and use clean power. In August last year, Ankur Capital had received commitments from two of its existing Limited Partners into its third fund. Since its inception, the VC firm has been backing deep technology innovations companies such as Captain Fresh, String Bio, Vegrow, Offgrid Energy Lab, BigHaat, Cropin, and Niramai.
