Tilla Secures €2M to Transform $12 Billion Crew Management Market

Berlin-based Tilla raised €2 million on July 29, 2025, led by Motion Ventures and EXMAR, to scale its AI-powered crew logistics platform globally. The platform addresses a largely undigitized $12 billion market where 10 million annual crew trips still rely on phone calls, emails, and spreadsheets. Proven results: Tilla's AI integrates voyage schedules, crew details, and real-time flight information to reduce crew change costs by up to 24% and save 40% in time. The platform has facilitated over 35,000 crew trips across 500+ vessels in ten countries, with customers including Peter Döhle Schiffahrts-KG, Essberger, and Wilson. Market expansion: The funding enables entry into APAC and Mediterranean markets while enhancing AI-powered planning features and financial capabilities. Co-founder Narayan Venkatesh emphasized their proven European approach is ready for global scaling with maritime-specific investor backing.
