Transaera, a tech company focused on energy-efficient cooling and dehumidification, has secured $10.5 million in funding. This includes $8.2 million in seed funding and $2.3 million in non-dilutive grants from the U.S. Department of Energy.
The Seed-2 round was led by Clean Energy Ventures, with participation from Energy Impact Partners and new investor MassMutual Ventures.
The company plans to use the funds to move from pilot projects to full commercial deployments and scale up manufacturing. Transaera, led by CEO Sorin Grama, has developed a cooling system using solid desiccants to absorb moisture, which provides more efficient cooling, even in hot and humid conditions.
