foom GmbH

Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Berlin, Germany, foom GmbH specializes in waste management solutions. In November 2025, foom GmbH raised venture funding from capacura. Foom specializes in sustainable waste management solutions by transforming organic waste into valuable fertilizer through innovative technology that combines microbial hydrolysis with bioaugmentation. Their core product offering focuses on on-site biomass decomposition, significantly reducing CO2 emissions while enhancing soil quality.

The company primarily targets agricultural businesses, urban gardeners, and municipalities in Europe and North America, leveraging microorganisms to produce nutrient-rich soil amendments. Foom generates revenue through direct sales of its waste-to-fertilizer systems and related services to businesses and local authorities. Their direct-to-consumer model allows clients to purchase units for on-site organic waste conversion, reducing transportation costs. Revenue is derived from one-time purchases combined with service agreements for maintenance, catering to individual and institutional clients, including partnerships with local governments and agricultural organizations.

The company plans to use the November 2025 funding to expand its modular biowaste processing technology for local conversion of organic waste into fertilizer and strengthen circular economy solutions at high-waste locations like festivals, canteens, and retail sites.
