AI
platform amber has raised €7 million in Series A funding to expand across
Europe and further develop its technology to help small and medium-sized
businesses access and use internal company knowledge. The round was co-led by
existing investor Ventech and NRW.Venture, the venture capital fund of
NRW.BANK.
Headquartered
in Aachen, amber was founded by Bastian Maiworm, Philipp Reissel and Igli Manaj
to develop an AI platform that connects, structures and contextualises company
knowledge across emails, documents, cloud applications and internal systems.
The
company is addressing a challenge facing businesses adopting generative AI:
company data is often fragmented across multiple systems, limiting the ability
of AI models to understand business context and provide reliable results. At
the same time, organisations risk losing institutional knowledge when
experienced employees leave or retire.
At the
core of amber’s platform is its proprietary AI Data Layer, which creates a
unified understanding of information across different enterprise systems before
applying large language models. By providing models with structured and
relevant business context, the technology is designed to improve the accuracy
of answers and insights while reducing the amount of unstructured data that AI
systems need to process.
Employees
can use amber to retrieve information and organisational knowledge that would
otherwise require searching through files, emails and other internal systems.
The platform is designed to understand the context behind business information
rather than relying solely on keywords, helping companies preserve knowledge,
support employee onboarding and automate knowledge-intensive workflows.
AI’s
next evolution is not another chatbot. The future belongs to systems that
understand business context, recognise user intent and autonomously complete
work. That’s exactly what we’re building with amber,
said amber
co-founder & CEO Philipp Reissel.
The new
funding will support amber’s broader European expansion, beginning with
Benelux, as well as further investment in its AI Data Layer and deeper
integrations with business systems. The company also plans to strengthen AI
adoption among SMEs and evolve its platform from user-initiated workflows
towards systems capable of identifying and executing tasks more autonomously.
