St. Pölten, 26 November 2024 - GreenTech startup Circly, which was founded in St. Pölten in 2021 and specializes in the development and operation of an AI-supported planning tool for production and trade, has received a six-figure investment in the form of a convertible loan from PlanRadar founders Ibrahim Imam and Sander van de Rijdt. At the same time, Sander van de Rijdt is appointed as a new member of the Circly board.
The company, led by Eric Weisz (CEO), Armin Kirchknopf (CTO) and Maximilian Reiter (CXO), is thus pursuing the goal of significantly accelerating its sales internationalization and technological development in order to meet the growing global demand for more efficient and sustainable planning solutions.
