osapiens

Overview

osapiens is a Mannheim-based software company that provides a cloud platform, the osapiens HUB, for supply-chain transparency, sustainability reporting and regulatory compliance. According to its website it was founded in 2018 by Alberto Zamora, Matthias Jungblut and Stefan Wawrzinek, and an EQS release of January 2026 names Zamora and Jungblut as co-CEOs. The company announced a USD 100 million Series C in January 2026, led by Decarbonization Partners, the joint venture of BlackRock and Temasek, with existing investors Goldman Sachs Alternatives and Armira Growth also taking part, and described itself as a unicorn. It matters to the DACH ecosystem as a Mannheim-based software scale-up that turned compliance demand into a unicorn outside the larger startup hubs of Berlin and Munich.

Why this entity matters

osapiens is a recent example of a German enterprise software company reaching unicorn status on regulation-driven demand rather than consumer growth. Startuprad.io's February 2026 roundup positioned the round as evidence that sustainability compliance, ESG reporting and CSRD-aligned software are becoming core enterprise infrastructure, and the company's own news page calls it Germany's first unicorn of 2026. The EQS release does not give a dollar valuation, only that the company becomes a unicorn, which implies a valuation of at least USD 1 billion.

The funding path is also instructive. The company's website lists a USD 27 million Series A led by Armira Growth in September 2023, a USD 120 million Series B led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives in July 2024 and the Series C in January 2026, which suggests three institutional rounds in roughly two and a half years. For founders selling to large corporates, the story shows how an investor base can be built around demonstrated customer demand.

Company or institutional background

Company and product. The osapiens HUB is described in the EQS release as a multi-tenant platform with more than 25 solutions and AI-driven automation, grouped into transparency and efficiency categories. The company's website lists seven suites, including Supplier Intelligence, Product Compliance, Disclosures and Reporting, Carbon Management and Audit and Quality Assurance. It reports more than 550 employees across Europe and the United States and says it works with customers in over 60 countries.

Customers. The EQS release of 14 January 2026 cites more than 2,400 customers and names Coca-Cola North America, Lidl, Carrefour and OTTO among them; the company website now states more than 2,500, and an osapiens news item names Otto, Edeka and C&A. These counts differ by date and source and are not independently verified.

Funding. Series A of USD 27 million in September 2023 (Armira Growth) and Series B of USD 120 million in July 2024 (Goldman Sachs Alternatives) come from the company's website and Tech.eu. Startuprad.io's 2024 roundups described the Series B as EUR 110 million, which is consistent with the dollar figure at the exchange rate of the time. The Series C of USD 100 million was announced on 14 January 2026 and, per the release, was subject to regulatory approvals; this record has not independently verified that closing took place. EU-Startups reported the round as about EUR 85.8 million. The company website also lists the German Founder's Award in 2022, a claim not independently verified.

Role in the ecosystem

osapiens operates in the compliance, sustainability and supply-chain software segment, selling to retailers, manufacturers and other large enterprises that must document supplier practices and emissions. It competes with specialist supply-chain risk, ESG-reporting and product-compliance vendors and with the modules of large enterprise suites. Its Mannheim base and backing from BlackRock, Temasek and Goldman Sachs Alternatives make it a notable late-stage company outside Berlin and Munich.

Selected relationships and affiliations

Publicly reported relationships include founders Alberto Zamora, Matthias Jungblut and Stefan Wawrzinek; lead investor Decarbonization Partners, a joint venture of BlackRock and Temasek; Goldman Sachs Alternatives, which led the 2024 Series B; Armira Growth, which led the 2023 Series A; and customers named in company materials such as Coca-Cola North America, Lidl, Carrefour and OTTO. These relationships are listed as reported by the company and third-party outlets and are not a verified current capitalization table.

Startuprad.io relevance

Startuprad.io listed osapiens in its 2024 roundups, which reported the Mannheim company's roughly EUR 110 million round led by Goldman Sachs. The January and February 2026 roundup treated the USD 100 million Series C as a top signal and a new unicorn in Mannheim, a June 2026 roundup repeated the point in its transcript, and the Unicorn Atlas and the April 2026 analysis Why Germany's Startup Market Became a Selection Event list osapiens among the newly minted German unicorns of 2026. The linked coverage consists of roundups and ecosystem analyses in which osapiens is one subject among several; there is no dedicated osapiens interview. The Atlas post is internally inconsistent about which company is the newest German unicorn, so this record relies on the January 2026 company announcement.

Public source context

This record draws on osapiens' own website https://osapiens.com/en/about-us , its January 2026 news items, the EQS release carried by gettex, Tech.eu and EU-Startups reporting, and Startuprad.io's own coverage. Funding and customer figures are as reported by the company and these outlets and have not been independently re-verified for this record.
