We’re excited to announce our new deep-tech fundraising project for Innoseis Sensor Technologies!
Innoseis Sensor Technologies is developing the next generation of innovative sensing products, offering the smallest, lightest, and most power-efficient motion sensors available today. They are enabling a new wave of technologies—both existing and emerging—that require sensitive, compact, and reliable motion data.
Innoseis ST enables new frontiers in ultra-precision sensing by translating breakthrough physics into fingertip-sized, ultra-sensitive sensors. Founded on gravitational-wave research at Nikhef by CEO Dr Mark Beker and CTO Prof Dr Jo van den Brand, the company has consistently bridged scientific precision with scalable integration.
Its first commercial product—a geophone-based seismic node—captured 35 % of the global seismic-sensor market in just three years. Building on that success, Innoseis ST has miniaturised the same architecture into a MEMS accelerometer that delivers laboratory-grade accuracy, ultra-low noise, and microwatt-level power draw, positioning the company to revolutionise high-end industrial, aerospace, and defence applications.
De-risked and production-ready, these MEMS devices provide gravitational, acceleration, and navigation-class performance at low cost and with minimal power budgets, opening new opportunities in commercial space missions, low-noise measurement systems, and dual-use security technologies.
Imagine you’re building a robot. Not just any robot. Your robot. It’s smart, shiny, and meant to change the world. But before you bring it to life, you face a serious question: “Do I buy the robot factory, or just rent a workshop?” That’s where the magical world of CapEx and OpEx begins.
When you’re building a startup, the kind of funding you choose can determine the path your company takes. Two common funding options usually come into play: Venture Capital (VC) and Corporate Venture Capital (CVC).
TD Shepherd congratulates the Innoseis Sensor Technologies’ team on closing of their Seed round led by FORWARD.one. Innoseis ST is a spin-off from the Nikhef who transferring advanced research in gravitational-wave detection into commercial sensor technology.
