Plancraft completes Series B funding round

Plancraft secures €38 million in Series B financing round
Hamburg-based start-up Plancraft has reached another milestone in its growth trajectory with the successful completion of a Series B financing round. Led by Headline, several venture capital firms are investing a total of €38 million in the company. This has enabled Plancraft to increase its total financing to over €50 million after previous rounds.
Julian Wiedenhaus, CEO of Plancraft, emphasises the central role of his team:
‘The way we live our culture every day – that's the real “headline” (pun intended).’
AI agents for the skilled trades
Plancraft has developed software specifically for skilled trades businesses that digitises and simplifies administrative processes. From quotations and project plans to employee accounts, key tasks can be mapped efficiently – leaving skilled trades businesses more time for their actual core business.
The next big goal: artificial intelligence. The plan is to develop AI agents that further simplify and optimise business processes. For Julian Wiedenhaus, AI is ‘not a nice-to-have, but a new way of working.’ It lowers barriers and reduces reservations, as only language or voice is needed to use it.
From start-up centre to European growth
Since its foundation in 2020, which was supported by the start-up centre at Hamburg University of Technology Startup Port @TUHH, Plancraft has developed dynamically: the team has now grown to 100 employees and works not only in Hamburg, but also in Austria, the Netherlands and Italy.
Plancraft is currently looking for new recruits – in particular developers for AI and voice UX, as well as marketing experts.
With its vision, the start-up aims to grow into the largest craftsman community in Europe and, according to Wiedenhaus, ‘build a future in which craftsmen not only survive, but thrive’.
