Amsterdam-based startup beSirius has raised €3 million in Seed funding to transform how the metals, mining, and heavy industries manage sustainability. With its AI-powered platform, the company replaces outdated ESG reporting with real-time intelligence that helps businesses make faster, smarter decisions.
The round was led by Berlin-based NAP (formerly Cavalry Ventures), alongside Fund F, Techstars, Blackwood, WEPA Ventures, and Golden Egg Check.
Founded in 2022 by industry veterans Anastasia Kuskova (CEO), Sergey Tyan (CCO), and Seva Martynov (CTO), beSirius is tackling a deep-rooted problem: ESG data remains locked in static reports, costing companies time, money, and strategic opportunities.
“Metals and mining power the modern world — but they’re stuck in a reporting loop. We built beSirius to break that loop and turn sustainability into a business advantage,” said Kuskova.
At the core of beSirius is the “Sustainability Twin” — a dynamic digital profile that unifies fragmented ESG data into a structured, shareable format. The platform automatically updates this data, making it machine-readable and instantly usable by auditors, investors, and regulators. Companies can respond to requests faster, identify gaps, and prepare for key negotiations with greater precision.
The impact is already measurable. Clients like ArcelorMittal, Freeport-McMoRan, and FLSmidth have adopted the platform to reduce reporting workload by over 70% and gain critical insights that influence procurement and strategic planning.
Kuskova calls the platform a “universal adapter” for sustainability:
“Today, ESG isn’t about reporting — it’s about performance. Our AI helps companies cut through the noise and focus on decisions that protect revenue and build stronger relationships.”
Since launch, beSirius has grown from a three-person founding team to a 17-member company, expanding across Europe and North America. With the fresh funding, the startup will boost its AI infrastructure, strengthen integrations across the supply chain, and scale adoption among industrial players.
Investors believe the company is filling a critical gap in a sector under pressure to evolve.
“beSirius is turning ESG data from a burden into a strategic tool. Their practical approach and strong industry traction make them uniquely positioned to reshape how sustainability is handled across the value chain,” said Stefan Walter, Managing Partner at NAP.
As sustainability moves from checkbox compliance to boardroom strategy, beSirius is betting big that real-time intelligence will be the new industry standard.
