Eindhoven-based ANTENNEX, a company specialised in antenna measurement solutions, announced that it has secured additional funding from Borski Fund to boost its international growth and innovation.
The company plans to use the new funding to enhance its product offerings and meet growing global demand.
Based out of Amsterdam, Borski Fund is a venture capital firm dedicated to closing the funding gap for women-led startups. The VC invests in businesses with female (co)founders or those creating innovative products and services designed for women.
The VC focuses on sectors such as healthcare, circular energy, and future societies.
Anieke Lamers, Operating Partner of Borski Fund, says, “ANTENNEX clearly shows the innovative spirit we aim to support with Borski, and we were amazed with the tech capabilities of the ANTENNEX team. This, combined with the fact that there is a rare combination of a strong tech and commercial female CEO, made this a very attractive investment. Their cutting-edge technology has the potential to revolutionise multiple industries, and we are excited to be a part of their growth journey.”
The announcement comes six months after raising €1.5M in seed funding from Value Creation Capital (VCC) and Brabantse Ontwikkelings Maatschappij (BOM).
Anouk Hubrechsen, CEO of Antennex, says, “This investment enables us to expand our operational and commercial activities for customers worldwide. Borski Fund’s support of our team and impact is very complementary to the current investors BOM and Value Creation Capital and invaluable in developing our company. Their diverse team brings a great addition to our captable.”
ANTENNEX: Making antenna measurements accessible and fast
ANTENNEX, led by Anouk Hubrechsen, was founded as a spin-off of the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e).
The Dutch company specialises in advanced, compact measurement systems leveraging reverberation-chamber technology for next-generation wireless applications such as in telecom, automotive, aerospace, and defense.
By combining proprietary hardware with smart algorithms, the company simplifies traditionally complex and time-consuming measurements, delivering faster results with exceptional accuracy.
The company’s flagship product – The Wireless Connector, features a built-in calibration module and intuitive controls and offers a more efficient alternative to traditional anechoic chambers, which are difficult to operate and maintain.
Operating across the 10–140 GHz range, the Wireless Connector is ideally suited for the development of future technologies in wireless communication, autonomous radar, and sensing.
