🏭 We are experienced founders, advisors, investors – and have convened to propel Europe ahead in the global race for AI leadership.

With our startup from Heidelberg and Karlsruhe we just raised a large funding round with investors from Black Forest Labs (a pioneer in visual generation), tech experts, and a strong network of advisors and supporters.
