Startup Name: Aurasell
Industry: Artificial Intelligence
Region: United States
Amount (USD): $30 million
The problem it is solving: Sales teams are overwhelmed by tool bloat, with companies often paying millions annually for multiple disconnected tools. These fragmented systems slow productivity and make it difficult to streamline sales operations. Aurasell seeks to unify and automate sales processes using AI for forecasting, prospecting, account management, and more.
What the Funds Will Be Spent On: Building a scalable AI system from the ground up. Covering infrastructure costs. Expanding its team (already ~40 engineers, half of them AI engineers). Accelerating product development to compete with legacy players like Salesforce.
Startup Name: Maisa
Industry: Artificial Intelligence
Region: Spain
Amount (USD): $25 million
The problem it is solving: Enterprises struggle with unreliable AI adoption (failure rates up to 95%) due to hallucinations, lack of explainability, and compliance risks. Existing AI tools are difficult for non-technical business users to deploy, limiting scalability in regulated industries like finance, automotive, and energy. Maisa solves this with hallucination-resistant digital workers powered by a proprietary reasoning engine (KPU), auditable “Chain-of-Work” logs, and no-code deployment through Maisa Studio.
What the Funds Will Be Spent On: Hiring across AI R&D, engineering, and customer success. Expanding market presence in Europe and North America. Scaling the adoption of its new product, Maisa Studio, to more regulated enterprises.
Startup Name: The Clearing Company
Industry: Blockchain
Region: United States
Amount (USD): $15 million
The problem it is solving: Lack of transparency, compliance, and user protection in the crypto derivatives market. Existing platforms often suffer from inefficiencies and regulatory issues. Retail traders face barriers in accessing safe, compliant derivative products.
What the Funds Will Be Spent On: Building and scaling the platform. Hiring talent to expand the team. Ensuring regulatory compliance and collaboration with lawmakers. Developing user-friendly, low-risk products for broader market adoption.
