Valuemize, a startup developing lifecycle cost intelligence software for manufacturers, said it secured 7-figure pre-seed funding earlier this year in an undisclosed round.

The company is building a platform designed to unify product cost data across development and production, replacing fragmented Excel-based workflows with a single system for controlling, R&D, finance, and procurement teams. Its software enables manufacturers to simulate the financial impact of product decisions in real time, with the aim of reducing non-value-adding work and lowering product costs from the earliest stages.

Investors named by the company include xdeck, HEARTFELT_, OMA Business Angels, superangels, Prequel Ventures, PRXS Technology and Investment GmbH, as well as former executives and experts from BCG, Celonis, McKinsey, and the founders of CDTM through Buildery.vc.

Valuemize said it plans to use the funding to expand access to cost intelligence across industrial companies and help manufacturers address margin pressure earlier in the product lifecycle.
