We are pound to share that Haelixa has raised €2 million in a pre-series A round to support international scale and long-term growth.
The round was led by existing backers Verve Ventures and Zurich Kantonalbank, with participation from an impact-focused investor 212 NexT Fund. This complements the catalytic funding awarded through the Temasek Trust Amplifier programme.
This investment will accelerate international expansion, targeted team growth, expanded offerings, and closer collaboration with textile brands and supply-chain partners.
Haelixa’s patented DNA-based technology provides physical, on-product proof of origin and authenticity. As regulatory scrutiny rises and risks around fraud, undeclared blending, and counterfeiting increase, our technology helps brands protect compliance, brand value, and consumer trust. It is already used across textiles, precious metals, and gemstones, and is compliant with GOTS and OEKO-TEX standards.
Founded as a spin-off from ETH Zurich, Haelixa has achieved scaled commercial adoption, with seven-figure revenues and multi-year agreements with leading fashion and textile brands.
“This investment enables us to scale globally as expectations for traceability continue to rise. It also allows us to expand into anti-counterfeiting, adding a strong new layer of value for luxury brands.”
Patrick Strumpf, CEO of Haelixa
With this investment, we’re accelerating global expansion and making verifiable origin and authenticity a scalable standard across high-risk supply chains.
