Ecocapsule

What Ecocapsule does

Ecocapsule is a privately held Slovak manufacturer of prefabricated, off-grid micro-homes headquartered in Bratislava. The company designs and builds transportable, self-sufficient dwelling units that integrate solar power generation (8.3 kW), battery storage (23.2 kWh), and water treatment systems (99% filtration), enabling operation without utility connections for significant portions of the year. Its product portfolio includes the original egg-shaped Ecocapsule and the more recent Ecocapsule BOX line, offered in three tiers (XS at 13.2m² from €29,900, Classic at 25m² from €55,000, and XL at 37.5m² from €79,900, excluding VAT). Units are manufactured in Slovakia with EU-based craftsmanship partners and are designed for lands without existing infrastructure, where they can typically be installed without building permits.

The company sells direct-to-consumer through its website with consultation-based sales, targeting individual property owners seeking off-grid primary residences, guest houses, or backyard offices, as well as recreational landowners with remote parcels. A secondary segment is eco-resort and hospitality developers, for whom Ecocapsule markets the BOX as modular accommodation with a claimed 3-year return on investment and a 3-month delivery timeline. Ancillary revenue includes optional delivery logistics management via partner carriers across Slovakia and Ukraine, plus site-preparation consulting delivered by in-house architects.

Revenue mechanics are predominantly one-time hardware sales of prefabricated units, supplemented by add-on services. The company has received co-financing from the European Regional Development Fund via the Integrated Infrastructure program and prior investment from Launcher (2017) and CB Investment Management (2020). Operational scale remains modest, with 11–50 employees and 'several' completed eco-resort installations in Slovakia; no revenue, ARR, or unit volume figures are disclosed.
