Remolonas, Ruit and XRF raise money from investors, crowdfunding and NATO DIANA

The story so far, in brief; the legwork, and the full article, stay with the original outlets.

Remolonas, a Valladolid foodtech that sells imperfect fruit and vegetables and surplus stock from brands and producers, has €2.1 million committed to a new round: €400,000 from Clave Capital, €300,000 each from EONIQ and SEGO Venture, plus other investors. The round will be topped up by a crowdfunding campaign on SEGO Venture with a €2,000 minimum, so the company that finds buyers for unwanted food is now finding buyers for its own shares. Its main shareholder is Grupo Mondragón, through Eroski, which put in €450,000 in an earlier round in 2025 alongside EONIQ. Remolonas reports over €320,000 in monthly recurring revenue, more than 13,000 household and business customers, €1.1 million of revenue in 2025 and a forecast of over €3 million for 2026. Founder and CEO Carlos Pérez Mielgo plans to spend on technology, the B2B business and hiring. Philip Behn, former CEO of Imperfect Foods, and Neil Neufeld of Misfits Market are advisers and shareholders, and 48% of staff are people with disabilities or at risk of exclusion.

Ruit, which makes software for professional second-hand sellers covering sourcing, inventory, multichannel listing, dynamic pricing, orders and accounting, raised €880,000 in a pre-seed round led by Abac Nest, the venture arm of Abac Capital, which manages over €800 million. Angels Capital, Juan Roig's investment firm, Decelera, SuccessfulVC and business angels joined, with ENISA adding a non-dilutive participative loan. Founder and CEO Luis Grau will use the money on the team, product and sales, consolidating in Spain before expanding abroad. Like Remolonas, Ruit went through Lanzadera.

XRF, a Spanish company working on extended reality and AI for complex operations, received funding of undisclosed size from NATO DIANA, the alliance's defence innovation accelerator. The money pays for an independent test of its AI by the Centre for Research & Technology Hellas in Greece from October 2026 to March 2027: reading military scenarios with its Maia module, answering plain-language questions about live video with at least 90% recall in standard daytime conditions, and triggering the right first responses to alerts at least 80% of the time within five minutes. A human operator keeps the final decision. CEO Gustavo Medina calls validation by a NATO-accredited centre "a critical seal of trust" for talks with defence ministries and armed forces, which makes the cheque less the point than the grade. XRF's technology is already used by the Spanish Army and Navy, its clients include NEOM and Telefónica, and it was picked for the NATO DIANA 2026 cohort.
