Investors: 468 Capital, Global Founders Capital, Presight Capital, Mato Peric, Erik Podzuweit, Florian Prucker, Philippe Teixeira da Mota

Round co-led by 468 Capital, Global Founders Capital and Presight Capital (no single lead); angels are Scalable Capital and Hedosophia founders. Company emerged from stealth with this round. TechCrunch (Aug 2025) dates the seed to 'mid-2021', which conflicts with the March 2022 announcement.
