Cordulus was founded in 2015 under the name Ceptu and started its journey in the department’s student incubator environment HatchIT Lab. Today, the company operates one of the world’s largest networks of hyperlocal weather stations and develops AI-based weather models that help farmers optimise fertilisation, crop protection and planning with far greater precision than traditional forecasts.

The investment brings Cordulus’ Series A funding to €6.8 million and will accelerate the company’s expansion into the energy market, where precise, real-time weather forecasts are becoming increasingly critical for energy trading, risk management and pricing.

“Cordulus is proof that Europe can compete in the battle for real-world AI. The team’s ability to connect advanced AI with something as physical and complex as the weather is rare,” says Mathias Brink Lorenz, CEO of Delphinus Venture Capital.

Delphinus Venture Capital is backed by the Aarhus University Research Foundation, Norlys, HEARTLAND and Salling Group, and focuses on long-term investments in research-heavy, deep-tech companies.

We are proud to see former students build globally ambitious companies rooted in research, data and real-world impact - and to see ideas that once started at the department now scale internationally.
