Homaio is an investment platform enabling retail investors to access emissions markets through carbon-backed securities, offering simplified, secure participation in a key driver of global climate policy.
Paris-based Homaio has raised €3.6 million in a funding round led by RAISE Ventures, with participation from Groupe Eren, business angels, and existing investors XAnge and Redstone, bringing its total funding to over €5 million.
Founded in 2023, Homaio is an investment platform that provides retail investors with access to emissions allowance markets, which have traditionally been limited to institutional participants. These markets play a central role in climate policy and industrial transformation, particularly in Europe.
The company structures financial products backed by carbon allowances, offering a simplified and regulated way to access the market. Since launch, the platform has attracted users across more than 30 countries and manages several million euros in assets.
Valentin Lautier, founder of Homaio, said the energy transition is driven by capital allocation, with the company aiming to enable private investors to access the markets shaping this shift.
Initially focused on European carbon allowances, Homaio is expanding its platform to cover a broader range of markets linked to the energy transition, including international emissions systems and energy sectors tied to industrial decarbonisation.
The funding will support product development and the expansion of its offering beyond carbon allowances, with the goal of directing more private capital toward energy and industrial transition markets.
