Incipientus Ultrasound Flow Technologies AB closes an eight-figure funding round led by Butterfly Ventures and co-led by Seven District and Marinvest.

Incipientus Ultrasound Flow Technologies AB is a progressive deep tech company with a strong research background and a clear goal – to radically change and improve the industrial process monitoring and quality control of industrial liquids. Incipientus’ touch-free, in line process monitoring systems provide continuous process information and flow visualization and monitoring of flow properties of industrial liquids in real time. The result is significantly improved quality and increased safety with production cost savings and environmental benefits for a sustainable global process industry as well as increased product and production insights. Incipientus has recently signed critical framework agreements with key customers as no similar solution exist on the market. The current funding round allows Incipientus to accelerate the scale-up phase by focusing on the implementation of our developed technology within international key customers and to continue to build the pipeline and team to meet commercial milestones.
