48,767 | 14/07/2025 04:26 PM | TASS Vision raises €1.3M to bring privacy-first analytics to physical retail | tass-vision-raises-euro13m-to-bring-privacy-first-analytics-to-physical-retail | 14/07/2025 | Uzbekistan startup TASS Vision has raised €1.3 million. The startup enables retailers to monitor complete customer journeys in physical stores in real time, optimise product placements, and measure the effectiveness of in-store marketing. All of this happens without sending data to the cloud, with full emphasis on customer privacy. TASS Vision’s products run exclusively on edge AI cameras that process images directly on the device. TASS Vision was founded by Shakhzod Umirzakov and Jamshidjon Khakimjonov. The entrepreneurial spark came from an unexpected place: a bus depot in Tashkent, where Shakhzod worked as a teenage ticket inspector. During this time, he discovered that up to 30 per cent of revenue was being lost due to human error or fraud. In response, he developed his own sensor device for counting passengers. Although the product didn’t take off due to the small market, it revealed an important insight: most offline businesses operate without data. That insight led to the founding of TASS Vision in 2021, with the goal of bringing “Google Analytics” into the offline world. Today, the platform offers two key products – Vitrac (customer journey tracking) and Sitrac (shelf interaction analysis) – both running on proprietary edge AI cameras designed to protect privacy while providing deep analytical insight. “We help retailers run performance marketing – not online, but right on the shop floor. The data shows that many of our clients have increased revenue and reduced operational costs. Our goal isn’t just to automate retail, but to create a new data standard for the entire offline world,” says Shakhzod Umirzakov, one of TASS Vision's founders. The startup is currently active in more than 2,000 retail stores across ten countries and collaborates with over a hundred brands in the electronics, fashion, FMCG, and pharmaceutical sectors. Purple Ventures led the investment with a €500,000 contribution. The remaining amount came from funds including Domino VC, Pragma Tech VC, Sabah Fund, Caucasus VC, Big Sky Capital, and IT Park VC. Also participating were early angel investors Bachrom Abduqadirov and Ahror Abdukarimov, who supported the startup back in 2022 along with 500 Global, UzVC, and Activat. "This is a true data revolution for brick-and-mortar retail. TASS Vision delivers what e-commerce has had for years – precise and detailed insight into customer behaviour and measurability. With its own hardware and software, the company has a strong technological edge and an extremely efficient business model,” says Jan Davídek, Partner at Purple Ventures, adding:
Over the past two years, TASS Vision has grown by 500 per cent year-over-year, with the vast majority of new clients coming through referrals. The company now employs 35 people, including teams in Uzbekistan, South Korea, and China, where R&D in AI models, image processing, and edge hardware is conducted. The new investment will help complete the development of the next generation of proprietary cameras – expected to be up to 20× faster than the current models, more energy-efficient, and better suited for global deployment. The aim is also to simplify installation and lower the barrier to entry for customers even further. Lead image: TASS Vision. Photo: uncredited. |

48,764 | 14/07/2025 03:42 PM | Guide to building and expanding your business with Zoom [Sponsored] | guide-to-building-and-expanding-your-business-with-zoom-sponsored | 14/07/2025 | As a business leader, you know all about the importance of communication. Staying connected with customers, employees, partners, investors, suppliers, and vendors can help you build trust, grow your brand, and establish meaningful relationships with the people that matter most to your business. This guide offers a few ways to help you enhance customer service, improve collaboration, and support your growing remote or hybrid team with an AI-first, all-in-one work platform. When you have your communications dialed in and collaboration figured out, you can spend less time worrying about technology and more time doing what you love. If you have a lean IT team, or you wear the “IT director” hat (possibly alongside several other hats), a unified solution can help streamline IT management and give you more time to focus on what you’re more passionate about — like growing your business. Connecting with customersNo matter what line of business you’re in, you want to meet your customers’ needs at every point in their journey. Today’s consumers want brands to be available for instant communications on a broad range of channels — not just phone and email, but text message, social media, live chat, and even video. Here are some tips for connecting with customers on Zoom Workplace: Communicate anywhere, on any deviceEven when you’re constantly on the go, you want to be there when your customers need you. Zoom works on a globally available suite of certified hardware solutions for offices, homes, workspaces, and mobile devices, and lets you move seamlessly from place to place. When you download the Zoom Workplace app, you can receive Zoom Phone calls, send a text, chat message, or join a Zoom meeting from your laptop, tablet, or smartphone. You don’t have to be tied to your desk or risk missing opportunities when you leave it. Zoom Phone allows you to choose which number you call or text customers from, whether it’s a main business line or your own direct business number. Either way, you won’t have to use your personal number to reach customers or store their contact information on your personal device. Respond faster with call queuesWhile you may have once been the sole person answering calls for your business, your growing team can help make sure your customers aren’t kept waiting too long. Setting up a call queue routes incoming calls to a designated group of users, like your entire sales team, leading to shorter wait times for customers. You can even have an entire team helping to support text message response. When you set up SMS call queues, customer text messages will be sent to a group of employees for the first available rep to respond, cutting down on customer wait times. Engage your customers with videoEmbrace the advantages of video to reach new customers and offer virtual services. Features like screen sharing and annotation help build a dialogue with your customer during a consultation or allow you to deliver an engaging product demo. You can also create virtual touchpoints like a weekly office drop-in, or establish new revenue streams from virtual classes and events. Zoom AI Companion can provide you with meeting summaries from your customer calls so you can revisit your notes and identify action items and next steps. Making global connectionsIn a digitally connected world, you can build a global customer base and an international team faster than ever before. See how Zoom enables you to expand to new markets and stay connected with customers and employees. Global phone servicesYour team may be selling or providing customer service in new places. Zoom Phone has expanded global coverage to more than 47 countries and territories and provides flexible BYOC options that extend your geographic reach even further. Virtual troubleshooting and supportYou don’t need to limit your business operations based on who’s available in a specific location — with Zoom, your team members can conduct business all over the world. A customer service rep in Europe can jump on a video call to provide support to a customer in Asia. An equipment technician based in South America can help troubleshoot issues at a manufacturing plant in the U.S., all using Zoom Workplace. AI Companion supports over 30 languages for features like meeting summaries, which is crucial for international teams. You can translate Team Chat messages in real time from one supported language to another, or ask AI Companion a question in a meeting and get a response in your supported language, even if most people in the meeting are speaking a different language. Host international eventsWhen you’re planning your next product launch or customer conference, you can open your event up to a global audience with our Zoom Events solution. Live language interpretation support for Zoom Meetings and Zoom Webinars enables you to designate your interpreters for different languages. Our live translation feature also enables attendees to enable captions that are translated in real time in dozens of supported languages. Enabling employee collaborationIf your employees are distributed across multiple offices or working remotely, a communications platform becomes even more important for enabling effective collaboration from afar. Quickly see who’s availableZoom Team Chat enables you to have quick, real-time conversations with employees without scheduling a full-on meeting. Think of it as the equivalent of stopping by a colleague’s desk to ask a question. You can see whether an employee is available, in a meeting, away from their desk, or on vacation, giving you a better idea of when you can expect a response. Create chat channels for different projectsWith Zoom Team Chat, you can easily communicate with people one on one or in groups. You can create different channels for different groups of people — one for the sales team, another for marketing, and another for leadership. You can also pull together people from different teams into a channel for a specific product launch or project to have discussions, share images or files, and provide feedback. You can also create a shared space in Team Chat for all your team’s essential chat channels. When onboarding a new employee, all you need to do is add them to the shared space, and they’ll gain access to all the public (to members) chat channels they need to stay in the loop. Move from one method of communication to anotherWhen you’re collaborating with a colleague over chat, you may realize that a phone call or video conference would be easier for getting the message across. Zoom Workplace enables you to easily move from a chat to a phone call or video meeting with the click of a button. You can also pull other collaborators into a phone call or Zoom meeting as needed. Support accessibility for employeesGive employees the solutions they need to communicate and collaborate effectively. Enable auto-generated captions (also known as live transcription) for all users in your account and make sure your employees know about additional accessibility support features they can customize in their Zoom settings. If you have employees who speak different languages, AI Companion can help bridge language barriers with real-time translations in Team Chat and Zoom Meetings. Supporting your growing teamMany businesses experience growing pains as they expand, welcome new employees, and build scalable processes to serve their customers. Here’s how you can leverage modern communications technology to help support and equip your hybrid team with what they need to work smarter, not harder. Integrate with existing technologyIf your team members lose productivity switching between different business applications or copying information from one app to another, integrations can help streamline those workflows. With Zoom, you can integrate with hundreds of applications like Salesforce, Zendesk, Microsoft Teams, and Google Workspace, reducing the time spent toggling between multiple tools. Automate workflows to save timeRoutine tasks in your workday take a few short minutes here and there, but that can quickly add up to a substantial amount of time. Automating those tasks creates simpler workflows while taking items off your to-do list. Zoom Workflow Automation makes it easy to build powerful workflows that streamline your work across Zoom Workplace and third-party apps. You can also use AI Companion in your automated workflows, pulling in information and context from the platform to provide insights — freeing you up to focus on work that matters. Use Workflow Automation to:
Create an intuitive hybrid workspaceIf you have physical offices, video-enabling your meeting spaces will help your hybrid workforce connect more efficiently without IT’s help. With Zoom Rooms, your employees can effortlessly join a video conference with one click, and share content wirelessly without worrying about cables and connections. Plus, features like intelligent director and smart name tags help you create a more equitable meeting experience between remote and in-person employees.
Incorporating AI into your workdayIt can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to AI — many organizations struggle with how to incorporate it into employees’ workdays in ways that provide tangible benefits. According to a 2023 AI survey conducted by Morning Consult on behalf of Zoom, 69% of leaders said a barrier to AI adoption is that their team wouldn’t know how to use it. This section outlines practical ways that Zoom AI Companion, your built-in AI assistant, can help employees prioritize their work, complete tasks, and communicate more effectively. Because it’s available at no additional cost for paid Zoom Workplace accounts,* it’s a great choice for small and midsize businesses who may not have the budget to incorporate expensive AI tools. Prioritize what’s most importantIf your employees wear many hats and have competing priorities, it can be hard to know where to begin. AI Companion, accessible through a convenient side panel, can help employees prioritize their workday. They can ask AI Companion to prioritize their work, keep conversations focused and impactful, and jumpstart content drafts so they can focus on what’s important. AI Companion for Zoom Phone can help them prioritize which voicemails to listen to first and extract tasks from those voicemails, so they can quickly get to a new inquiry or support message. Get help during meetingsMeetings take up a lot of time in our workday — research from Zoom and Morning Consult shows that 60% of leaders have three or more meetings in a day. During meetings, you can ask AI Companion what the discussion was about, key points made by each person, and the outcome of the discussion. You can also ask additional questions beyond what was discussed in the meeting that AI Companion can answer via web search. Take action from conversationsWith AI Companion, you don’t have to worry about important information falling through the cracks. You can get summaries of your Zoom Meetings and Zoom Phone calls that recap key points and suggest next steps. Those summaries can be shared directly with attendees in Team Chat or by email, so everyone can stay in the loop and take action based on what was discussed. You can also pull AI Companion meeting summaries or transcripts from previous meetings directly into Zoom Docs using a pre-built template for one-on-ones, brainstorms, project updates, and more. Flexibility for your growing businessYou can customize Zoom to meet your business needs, whatever they may be — now and into the future:
With flexible plans and add-ons, you’ll always be able to find a solution that fits your situation — even if your needs are constantly evolving. |

48,759 | 14/07/2025 12:00 PM | Berlin-based MOTRO Ai raises €17.1 million to develop the first certified autonomous vehicle fleet for Europe | berlin-based-motro-ai-raises-euro171-million-to-develop-the-first-certified-autonomous-vehicle-fleet-for-europe | 14/07/2025 | Today, German mobility startup MOTOR Ai announced a €17.1 million Seed funding round to bring its neuroscience-driven autonomous vehicle technology into full deployment, starting with German public roads. The round was led by Segenia Capital and eCAPITAL, with participation from mobility-focused angels. The new capital will support hiring, commercial rollouts, and expansion. “This type of AI enables the highest safety standard in autonomous driving – as is already legally standardised in Europe,” says MOTOR Ai CEO and Co-founder Roy Uhlmann. MOTOR Ai was founded in 2017 by Roy Uhlmann (CEO) and Adam Bahlke (CTO). The company has developed Level 4 intelligence for autonomous driving. The system, which is based on cognitive intelligence, is allegedly able to make decisions in complex traffic situations. In contrast to purely machine learning systems, which are based on (pre-) trained situations, MOTOR Ai’s system claims to make reliable and comprehensible decisions in previously untested scenarios. This results in two major advantages: the autonomous driver can be certified according to international safety standards and, due to its ability to generalise information, does not need to be trained in all scenarios. At the heart of the system is a cognitive architecture rooted in active inference, a model from neuroscience that allows vehicles to make structured, transparent decisions. As other providers pursue autonomy through brute-force data collection, end-to-end solutions and black-box prediction models, MOTOR Ai explains they have taken a different approach: one that is reportedly deeply explainable and certifiable on the world’s highest safety levels. “This ‘Made in Germany’ in-house development reduces inter-dependencies while strengthening Europe’s ability to operate in critical innovative technology”, says Lucas Merle, Principal at eCAPITAL. This year, vehicles equipped with MOTOR Ai’s Level 4 system for autonomous driving will start operations in several German districts. The vehicles are supervised on board by a safety driver to be taken out during 2026. These deployments include both, the full onboard autonomy stack and the technical supervision required by law – according to the company this gives local transit authorities a fully operable path to autonomous transport without compromising control or safety. For the team behind MOTOR Ai, these milestones are the product of years of deep technical development including regulatory groundwork. Since 2017, the company has built its entire autonomy stack in-house from Berlin, working in close dialogue with certification authorities and federal certifiers. “Our solution meets key requirements for transparency and traceability of autonomous driving decisions, as required by authorities,” added Roy Uhlmann. “That clearly distinguishes us from US providers and at the same time optimally complies with European regulatory requirements.” As autonomous systems move closer to everyday use, European governments and the public are asking tougher questions: How are these systems making decisions? Can those decisions be explained or are they pure black box systems? MOTOR Ai’s architecture has been designed with those questions in mind. “In a regulated environment like Europe, trust and compliance are non-negotiable,” said Michael Janßen, General Partner, Segenia Capital. “MOTOR Ai has built a solution that is not only technologically differentiated, but fundamentally aligned with how Europe thinks about infrastructure and public safety. This is how autonomy will scale in future.” Looking ahead, MOTOR Ai plans to grow its engineering, safety and type approval teams, expand deployment partnerships with municipalities, and begin cross-border regulatory expansion into other European markets. “We don’t think the future of autonomy in Europe should be a mystery,” added Uhlmann, explaining the different approach Germany and the EU takes in comparison to other markets. “It should be measurable, inspectable, and designed to earn public trust. That’s what we’ve been building, and now we’re ready to scale it.” The post Berlin-based MOTRO Ai raises €17.1 million to develop the first certified autonomous vehicle fleet for Europe appeared first on EU-Startups. |

48,758 | 14/07/2025 12:00 PM | MOTOR Ai raises $20M to fast-track safe autonomous car deployment | motor-ai-raises-dollar20m-to-fast-track-safe-autonomous-car-deployment | 14/07/2025 | Berlin-based MOTOR Ai has closed a $20 million seed funding round to bring its certified, neuroscience-driven technology into full deployment, starting with German public roads. MOTOR Ai has built Level 4 autonomous driving intelligence that reasons through data instead of merely reacting. Its core system is based on a cognitive architecture rooted in active inference, a neuroscience-inspired model enabling structured and transparent decision-making. This approach ensures that MOTOR Ai's autonomous technology is both transparent and aligned with human and regulatory expectations. Roy Uhlmann, CEO and co-founder of MOTOR Ai, explained:
As other providers pursue autonomy through brute-force data collection, end-to-end solutions, and black-box prediction models, MOTOR Ai has taken a different approach: one that is deeply explainable and certifiable on the world's highest safety levels. Its full-stack system already meets the most stringent European and international safety and compliance requirements. From lab to street: A regulatory-first design in action This year, vehicles using MOTOR Ai’s Level 4 autonomous driving system will begin operating in multiple districts across Germany. Initially supervised by onboard safety drivers, set to be phased out by 2026, these deployments feature both the complete autonomy stack and the legally required technical oversight. This gives local transit authorities a ready-to-use, safe path to autonomous transport without sacrificing control. For the MOTOR Ai team, these milestones reflect years of intensive technical development and regulatory collaboration. Since 2017, the company has built its entire autonomy stack in-house, working closely with certification bodies from its base in Berlin. Uhlmann added:
That trust is becoming increasingly important. As autonomous systems move closer to everyday use, European governments and the public are asking tougher questions: How are these systems making decisions? Can those decisions be explained, or are they pure black box systems? The seed round was led by Segenia Capital and eCAPITAL, with participation from mobility-focused angels, reflecting the national significance of the technology. Lucas Merle, Principal at eCAPITAL, commented:
The company's early traction is a signal of what may come next. With road testing already in place, MOTOR Ai is well-positioned to define the next chapter of autonomy, based on intelligence for scaling in real-world conditions. Michael Janßen, General Partner, Segenia Capital, said:
Looking ahead, MOTOR Ai plans to grow its engineering, safety, and type approval teams, expand deployment partnerships with municipalities, and begin cross-border regulatory expansion into other European markets.

48,756 | 14/07/2025 10:25 AM | London-based Inntelo AI raises more than €576k for their AI Concierge Platform | london-based-inntelo-ai-raises-more-than-euro576k-for-their-ai-concierge-platform | 14/07/2025 | UK-based TravelTech company Inntelo AI has raised more than €576k in a pre-Seed funding round to fuel the commercial growth of its AI Concierge platform to support ongoing customer deployments and integration with property management systems. The round was led by VC fund Haatch and its partner British Business Bank, with participation from Look AI Ventures. The round also included support from several angel investors, including former executives from Trip.com, DocuSign, and others. It follows an earlier €138k investment from Antler at the company’s inception. Asif Alidina, Co-founder and CEO of Inntelo AI, said: “Hospitality’s AI transformation must be led from within the industry. Too often, hotels have struggled to adopt new technologies because they were developed without real operational insight. We’re incredibly excited about this new era, where the hospitality sector can not only embrace technology earlier than ever before, but also lead the way for the wider real estate and service industries. “AI can improve guest experiences and create better working environments for hotel teams. That’s the future we’re building toward, and this round gives us the support to move faster and go further.” Founded in 2024, Inntelo AI is reportedly the UK’s first AI Concierge platform, combining conversational and agentic AI to transform hotel communication, personalisation, and operations. Inntelo AI was co-founded by CEO Asif Alidina, who has previously worked for over a decade in hotel housekeeping and facilities management. This is combined with a newly announced global advisory board of senior operators, technologists, and academics from companies including Accor, Fairmont, and Hilton. Their AI aims to streamline guest interactions, automate routine tasks, and unlock new revenue opportunities, saving time for staff, and enhancing team efficiency. Fred Soneya, Co-founder and General Partner at Haatch, added: “Inntelo AI has all the hallmarks we look for in a high-potential startup – deep sector knowledge, real operational insight, and a product solving a clear pain point in a large, global market. We’re excited to back Asif and the team as they help hotels unlock the power of AI to transform the guest experience and streamline operations at scale.” Inntelo AI’s platform combines guest and team communication seamlessly, leveraging both conversational and agentic AI to improve the guest experience while delivering real operational efficiencies. The Inntelo AI Concierge automates guest enquiries via WhatsApp or phone and converts them into coordinated tasks, improving team responsiveness across all departments, including housekeeping, maintenance, food and beverage outlets, spas, and other services the hotel provides. Angelo Burgarello, Partner at Look AI Ventures, added: “At Look AI Ventures, we invest in transformative AI technologies with the potential to reshape entire industries. Inntelo AI perfectly embodies this vision. What immediately stood out to us was Inntelo’s ability to bridge the gap between guest expectations and hotel staff operations, something most solutions address only partially. The result is a unified, elevated guest journey and highly efficient hotel staff coordination. “We were particularly impressed by the team’s deep domain expertise and the capabilities of their product. We’re proud to support the Inntelo team on their mission to redefine hospitality through AI-driven innovation.” While all industries are undergoing AI transformation, Inntelo AI explains that hotels face unique pressures: growing competition, rising costs, and the need to attract a new generation of workers. At the same time, real estate owners, brands, and operators are re-evaluating their models as AI becomes capable of delivering human-like guest interactions and improving team coordination at scale. Inntelo’s solution is built with deep domain expertise and aims to benefit all key stakeholders – hotel guests, teams, brands, and owners. The company has already gained traction with both independent and franchised hotels, including Radisson and Wyndham branded properties in the UK, UAE, and across Europe, with more hotels currently being onboarded. The Seed funding will help accelerate the company’s commercial growth, expanding sales and marketing while supporting ongoing customer deployments and integration with property management systems.

48,752 | 14/07/2025 09:41 AM | Bliss builds a crucial therapist marketplace for diaspora communities, starting with Albanians abroad | bliss-builds-a-crucial-therapist-marketplace-for-diaspora-communities-starting-with-albanians-abroad | 14/07/2025 | Accessing mental health support is not easy. For millions, especially those living away from their home countries, the barriers can feel insurmountable, including language, cost, cultural differences, stigma, and endless waiting lists. Albanian Jona Doda, co-founder and CEO of Bliss, knows the problem all too well. Following studies at the London School of Economics and Political Science, Doda worked for over 10 years in tech startups in growth and marketing leadership roles. She admits that her mental health journey "started years ago when I left Albania to pursue opportunities in the UK.”
Therapy for the Albanian diasporaDoda is the CEO and co-founder of Bliss, an online therapy platform for Albanians abroad, connecting users with qualified psychologists. Countries like Albania that have large diaspora communities. The Albanian population in Albania is 2.7 million, but globally, it is 10 million. According to Doda:
Culturally rooted, accessible, and affordableBliss was born out of a simple but urgent truth: diaspora communities are too often left out of mainstream mental health solutions. Language barriers, cultural stigma, high costs, and unfamiliar systems create invisible walls. Bliss' psychologists can support people facing a wide range of life challenges, including family and relationship issues, persistent low mood or lack of energy, ongoing stress, unexplained health concerns, and financial and career challenges. Bliss offers low-barrier, culturally rooted, and affordable mental health support, especially for first- and second-generation migrants. From trauma-informed therapy to AI culturally sensitive therapist matching, our platform is built by and for our community, centring inclusivity, accessibility, and joy over clinical labels or one-size-fits-all models. A lack of publicly available services and price-prohibitive private services means that many Europeans wait months for support. Doda notes that "unfortunately, a lot of people—especially when it's their first time trying therapy—it's usually their last resort. And they can't afford to wait such a long time. They need immediate help." As an Australian migrant living in Berlin myself — a city infamous for its long waiting lists for mental health support — I like most, pay over €500 a month in mandatory health insurance, yet navigating the system to find a psychologist accepting new patients is a bureaucratic maze, that would be undoubtedly harder for people in mental health crisis to navigate. The shortage of trained professionals is so severe that an underground market has emerged. Like many others, I've in the past resorted to paying out of pocket for private online therapy. Although there are many major players out there like BetterHelp and Talkspace, they don't cater for cultural sensitivity or niche languages such as Albanian. Bliss offers a competitive advantage to these online platforms as it starts from just €30 a session, around half the price of a service like Bettahealth. Therapists eager to serve Albanian diaspora communitiesPsychologists are selected using a multistep process led by a senior recruiter. According to Doda, the onboarding process takes time "because we want to make sure we're onboarding high-quality therapists."
Currently, Bliss has about 30 psychologists on the platform with around 50 more on the waitlist. Doda admits, "It's interesting, when we first launched, we saw we had demand from customers, but also a long waitlist of therapists who wanted to join. "
Sessions between therapists and customers are entirely private, although Bliss can access anonymised usage data, which shows that apart from the most common global themes like depression and anxiety, for migrants it's predominantly social isolation, problems with cultural identity or not feeling like they belong in the new country.
Why cultural understanding mattersFurther, Doda notes that feedback from users who have tried therapy before with providers in the countries they live in revealed that "foreign therapists often struggle to understand the cultural nuances."
Further, aside from Albanian therapists based in Albania, Kosovo or North Macedonia, Bliss also works with Albanian therapists who live in the diaspora, places like Germany, Austria, and the UK.
Bliss is generating revenue and has active users in 10 countries, including the UK, Germany, Italy, the US, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, and Brazil, and will soon have therapists in the US and Canada. Expanding to B2B offeringsNow the company is expanding to B2B clients, as Jona admits, "it's essential for us to build a healthy, sustainable business, as B2C takes a bit longer to scale and is more expensive." Bliss is offering its service as an employee benefit to corporations and startups. It also delivered its first white label MVP to a Finnish company that operates in mental health but lacked a digital platform. The company is bootstrapped but has had strong success in the European tech ecosystem. Its a member of Plug and Play, is backed by EU for Innovation through a project grant from its Challenge Fund, and a grant from the Government of Albania. It won first prize at Tirana Slush'D, the largest startup competition in Albania. The company's advisors include Peter Vesterbacka—co-founder of Angry Birds and Slush, and entrepreneur & angel investor Kustaa Valtonen, who's also the visionary behind the Helsinki–Tallinn tunnel. Bliss is also registering the business in Finland, where there's high demand for mental health services. The Albanian startup ecosystem is becoming increasingly dynamic, especially with the recent opening of a Plug and Play regional office in Tirana. Albania as launchpad to scaleAlthough focusing on the Albanian diaspora, Bliss' goal is to replicate this model to other underserved diaspora communities, such as Vietnamese people living abroad. Doda admits, "Many people ask, 'Why Albania?", but beyond the advantage of piloting in an Albanian-speaking market, the country presents real opportunities for innovation and growth.”

48,757 | 14/07/2025 09:41 AM | Swedish startup Opper AI raises €2.5 million to make AI infrastructure as “reliable as Stripe” is for payments | swedish-startup-opper-ai-raises-euro25-million-to-make-ai-infrastructure-as-reliable-as-stripe-is-for-payments | 14/07/2025 | Today, Stockholm-based Opper AI announced the launch of its Task Completion API, backed by an oversubscribed €2.5 million pre-Seed round to help developers move beyond one-off prompts and fragile prototypes, providing a path to launching AI-powered features in production environments. The funding round includes backing from Luminar Ventures, Emblem Venture Capital, Greens Capital, and several prominent angel investors. “The success of chatbots, agents, or data tasks comes down to how reliably they interact with models,” said Göran Sandahl, Co-founder and CEO. “Opper removes the guesswork from prompt engineering and gives developers a tool that just gets the job done.” Founded in 2023 by the team behind Unomaly (acquired in 2020), Opper AI builds infrastructure that looks to help developers turn large language models into dependable systems. The Opper founding team – Göran Sandahl, Johan Gustafsson, and engineers from the Unomaly core team – bring more than 50 combined years of experience building automated, production-grade systems. “We’re seeing again and again that our customers can go confidently from beta to reliable production deployments,” added Johan Gustafsson, Co-founder and CRO. The Opper API introduces a new abstraction: task contracts. Instead of writing and tweaking prompts manually, developers define tasks in JSON; specifying inputs, expected outputs, and success criteria. The Opper API takes over from there, using smart prompt generation, built-in feedback loops, and model interoperability to deliver accurate and repeatable results. Key capabilities include:
Early adopters include companies like GetTested.io, which used Opper to streamline their AI pipeline for automated blood test reports: “We traded a patchwork of home-grown prompts and frameworks for Opper,” said Adam, AI Engineer at GetTested. “It clearly works – and we’re now rolling out our pipelines across 62 countries including the US and India.” The post Swedish startup Opper AI raises €2.5 million to make AI infrastructure as “reliable as Stripe” is for payments appeared first on EU-Startups. |

48,755 | 14/07/2025 08:32 AM | Barcelona-based Murphy raises €12.8 million to fix the “broken Industry” of debt servicing with AI | barcelona-based-murphy-raises-euro128-million-to-fix-the-broken-industry-of-debt-servicing-with-ai | 14/07/2025 | Murphy, a Spanish AI-native platform transforming debt servicing through fully autonomous agents, comes out of stealth today after raising €12.8 million in pre-Seed and Seed funding to accelerate its expansion across Europe and the United States. The round was led by Northzone, with participation from ElevenLabs, Lakestar, Seedcamp, and Enzo Ventures. “We’re building AI-native infrastructure that replaces traditional call centres with a scalable, multilingual solution. It helps companies recover more, faster, and more cost-efficiently, while staying compliant and treating debtors with respect.” said Borja Sole, Co-founder and CEO of Murphy. Founded in 2024 by Borja Sole and Marc Sanchez, Murphy is an AI-powered debt servicing platform that replaces traditional call-centre operations with fully autonomous agents. Operating across over 100 languages and multiple channels, Murphy reportedly enables businesses to recover more, faster, while improving customer experience and reducing costs. Murphy’s team brings together expertise from FinTech, AI engineering, and B2B SaaS. Their goal is to streamline and automate the recovery process with minimal human intervention. By leveraging a personalised communication approach, Murphy reportedly achieves 40% higher recovery rates compared to traditional methods. The platform also delivers a 75% reduction in time spent on collections, offering users detailed performance insights through dashboards that track recovery rates and timeframes. Murphy explains that debt servicing has historically been a slow, fragmented, and highly analogue industry, relying on costly call centres and generic engagement methods that leave vast amounts of recoverable debt untouched or written off. By combining state-of-the-art AI voice agents, omnichannel outreach, and behavioural personalisation, Murphy aims to unlock significant value for Debt Collection Agencies (DCAs) and enterprises that struggle with non-performing loans, 24/7 across over 30 languages. “Debt servicing is a $300+ billion global industry that is ripe for disruption. After reviewing countless verticals, this stood out as a space where AI can make a major impact. Given their experience and relentless development speed, Borja and his team are uniquely positioned to transform this space,” said Jeppe Zink, Partner at Northzone. Murphy’s technology has already been adopted by leading financial institutions, telecommunications providers, and mobility companies across Europe. Current customers include banks, telecommunications, utility and debt servicing companies globally. I In less than a year since launch, the company is managing hundreds of millions of dollars in debt, demonstrating superior recovery rates and drastically reducing operational costs compared to traditional methods. “Murphy is delivering bottom line impact, to very large organisations in complex and regulated markets – that is extremely rare and a testament to the strength of the product the team has built,” adds Pascual Cortes-Monroy, VP at Northzone. The company plans to use the funding to scale its product, expand its technical and go-to-market teams, and support rapid international expansion.
