Berlin-based industrial AI startup Kyrok has successfully raised €3.1 million in pre-seed funding aimed at enhancing its AI operating system tailored for the pharmaceutical and chemical supply chain industries. The initiative is designed to assist European SMEs in modernizing their operations and preserving vital operational knowledge through specialized AI agents. The funding round was spearheaded by Speedinvest, with additional contributions from Arve Capital, the family office behind Sanner, and notable tech and industry figures such as former SAP CPO Dr. Marcell Vollmer, BCG Partner Dr. André Heeg, TWAICE CEO Dr. Stephan Rohr, the founders of Langdock, and Rodrigo Martinez via HelloWorld. Kyrok plans to allocate the funds towards further development of its AI system, expanding its product range with new modules, and enlarging its Berlin-based team to meet rising market demands. Established in 2025 by Daniel Hofinger and Lukas Bierfreund, Kyrok offers an AI-driven platform that acts as an application layer over existing ERP systems. Its goal is to assist supply chain teams by optimizing workflows, minimizing manual data entry, and capturing institutional knowledge, ensuring that European SMEs maintain their competitive edge.
