I have selected 3 early-stage opportunities, differing in stage, location, or sector, and provided a brief analysis.

📍 HQ: Berlin, Germany.
🏭 Industry: Fintech.
☘ Stage: Pre-Seed.
🚨 Problem: Large companies with multi-country operations struggle to automate high-volume, complex financial workflows—like international invoice processing, transaction categorizations, internal audits, reconciliations, etc. Legacy tools and RPA solutions lack the reasoning, context, and accuracy needed at scale.
🔛 Solution: Emblematic builds AI-native agents that act as virtual finance employees, automating end-to-end finance operations with human-like reasoning, deep contextual learning, and seamless integrations.
📱 Product:

🫰 Business model: Usage-based pricing + enterprise setup fees.

📊 Traction: First AI agents deployed and running in production with large enterprise clients.
🏚 Market: ~$19Bn finance automation market in the US and Europe.
👥 Edgar Alvarez (CEO): Co-founder of Fuell (YC W22, acquired by Factorial), ex-Rocket Internet. Former C-level at global startups. 2 exits, 2 IPOs.
👥 Prokopis Gryllos (CTO): 10+ years of Deep Tech ML leadership at Shopify and N26. Built global forecasting and budgeting infrastructure at scale.
💰 Round: Undisclosed.

📍 HQ: Valencia, Spain.
🏭 Industry: Enterprise AI.
☘ Stage: Series A.
🚨 Problem: Sales & L&D teams face inefficiencies and scalability challenges due to manual processes, inconsistent workflows, and limited data-driven insights.

💰 Round: €5M.

Laurel Gaming - Reta a tus amigos a juegos clásicos

📍 HQ: Barcelona, Spain.
🏭 Industry: Mobile Gaming.
☘ Stage: Seed.
🚨 Problem: The mobile gaming industry is oversaturated with repetitive, ad-heavy games that prioritize monetization over meaningful gameplay. Most casual titles offer unengaging, solo experiences lacking real fun or gamification.
🔛 Solution: A mobile gaming app where you can challenge and play your favorite games—like Trivia and Parcheesi—with friends, and win real, exciting rewards (e.g. a London trip with all costs covered).
📱 Product:

🫰 Business model: In-app purchases and rewarded ads. With boosters players can get Laurels (currency) faster to access tournaments with real prizes and scale on the ranking.
