Embeint secures pre-seed to accelerate Infuse-IoT Intelligence Marketplace and global expansion

Brisbane, Australia — 23 May 2025

Embeint, the Australian startup redefining how intelligence is embedded into ultra-low-power IoT devices, has closed its pre-seed investment round led by Australian deep-tech fund Melt Ventures. The round was also co-led by Nordic IoT specialist Johannes Karlsson Invest AB, with additional participation from the experienced angel syndicate Angel Loop and corporate micro-VC, SV BNE (Brisbane Strategy Ventures).

“We’re thrilled to have such a complementary syndicate backing us at this critical point as we scale Infuse-IoT and spin up the Intelligence Marketplace. The capital also allows us to accelerate customer onboarding and begin our expansion into the United States and Europe,” said Dr Philip Valencia, Embeint CEO & Co-Founder.

Purpose-built for ambient intelligence

Embeint’s Infuse-IoT platform lets IoT Solution Providers rapidly build secure, intelligent, ultra-low-power solutions that can have even more intelligence unlocked by algorithms (such as TinyML) and apps provided by third-party developers. By decoupling firmware from intelligence, Infuse-IoT turns edge AI into “App Store”-like experience for industries from agriculture to infrastructure.

Strategic use of funds

  • Deepen integrations with flagship customers with early-access to the Intelligence Marketplace
  • Grow engineering and go-to-market teams in Brisbane and the United States.
  • Forge partnerships with microcontroller vendors, TinyML service providers and domain-specific algorithm developers across Australia, Europe and the U.S.

New advisory strength

As part of the round, Simon Horn joins Embeint’s Board of Advisors, bringing decades of expertise in venture growth and global commercialisation. (View the full Board of Advisors here).
