What One.Five does
One.Five (one.five GmbH) is a Hamburg, Germany-based AI company founded in 2020 that develops the Quartermaster platform to accelerate sustainable packaging product development. The company serves two primary customer segments: paper manufacturers and coating producers seeking to expand into flexible paper-based packaging (Grünperga Papier, Starkraft/heinzelpöls, Felix Schoeller, UPM Raflatac), and FMCG brand owners across confectionery (Jung), ice cream (Rawito), stationery (UPM Notes), organic foods (Foodie & Friends), cosmetics (Nature Cosmétique), games (Tactic Games), and travel/hospitality (Krott) seeking alternatives to plastic packaging. The company was founded by former Infarm executives Martin Weber and Claire Hae-Min Gusko.
The company's core technology is the Quartermaster AI platform, which integrates technical performance, regulatory requirements, cost structures, and consumer acceptance data to predict packaging design success. Its flagship module, the Product Market Fit Compass, uses predictive analytics and a recommendation engine to match materials to live customer opportunities, reportedly delivering 4x more efficient customer acquisition and 60% optimized R&D spend for users. A custom performance prediction system developed with Felix Schoeller achieves 90.5% prediction accuracy versus 53.8% for conventional models. One.Five has also developed three commercial packaging products generated by AI: Bluemorph (recyclable high-barrier packaging), Glassleaf (transparent packaging from bio-based materials), and Hazelsun (heat-sealable paper from agricultural waste), all with over 90% paper content, CEPI recyclability certification, and FSC-certified paper sources.
One.Five operates a hybrid revenue model combining platform subscription/usage fees (Product Market Fit Compass for paper manufacturers) with the sale of ready-to-use packaging products to brand owners in multiple formats (reel stock, doy pack, sachets, flow pack) with no minimum order quantity. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales for paper manufacturers with product-led growth through the platform's self-service capabilities, supplemented by regional channel partners such as Lorentzen & Sievers. As of January 2026, the company has raised €24.5 million in total funding across a €10.5M seed (2022) led by Planet A Ventures and Speedinvest, and a €14M Series A led by Dr. Hans Riegel Holding (HARIBO principal shareholder), with headcount growing from 25 to a target of 50 employees.
