One.five, a company based in Hamburg specializing in AI-powered solutions for packaging product development, has secured €14 million in Series A funding. This round was led by Dr. Hans Riegel Holding, with contributions from 212 NexT, Symbia VC, Btomorrow Ventures, KIMPA Impact, Zubi Capital, and current investors Speedinvest, Planet A, Green Generation Fund, Climentum Capital, Revent, and WEPA Ventures.
The funding will be allocated towards expanding one.five's proprietary AI platform and data capabilities. This expansion aims to assist various stakeholders in the packaging value chain to develop products swiftly and with improved market success rates.
The global dependency on plastic remains high despite increasing climate commitments. Currently, only an estimated 15-20% of global packaging is sustainable, with less than 15% of plastic packaging being recycled. The packaging industry faces significant challenges, particularly in primary packaging for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), where market conditions are volatile.
One.five's AI-driven platform addresses these issues by embedding product-market fit into the development process. The platform optimizes development by translating critical success factors into data-driven requirement profiles, aiding R&D teams in creating market-ready products.

Platform Products and Customer Engagement
One.five offers the Product Market Fit Compass, which helps paper producers and packaging converters benchmark their products against real brand requirements. This tool aids in defining development targets, increasing the likelihood of market success.
Early customer engagements have shown reduced development failures and accelerated time-to-market, with projected returns on investment of approximately five times the initial capital within the first year.
One.five intends to further scale its platform, generate additional proprietary data, and expand its customer base. New platform products tailored for brand owners are expected to launch in the latter half of 2026. Currently, the company collaborates with paper manufacturers and packaging converters, with operations extending across Europe and initial sales in the United States.
