How Blockbrain is Accelerating Responsible AI Agents Against Company Knowledge Loss

Blockbrain, where AI-powered process automation meets knowledge management, boosting efficiency, security, and profitability, led by Antonius Gress, Mattias Protzmann, and Nam Hai Ngo, has raised €17.5 million in Series A funding led by Alstin Capital and 13books Capital, with participation from the HARTING Family Foundation. Existing investors Giesecke+Devrient Ventures, Landesbank Baden-Württemberg Ventures, and Mätch VC have also increased their financial commitment.

When experienced employees leave, critical expertise and processes are lost. Blockbrain’s platform preserves this knowledge, making it accessible and automatable through trusted AI agents.

Blockbrain enables companies to create knowledge digital twins within weeks, capturing expert insights, decision logic, and methodological know-how in scalable “Knowledge Bots.” These bots make experiential knowledge accessible across teams and locations.

Customers such as Seifert Logistics Group report up to 15% weekly time savings, while the platform’s architecture is designed to virtually eliminate hallucinations and misinformation.

Strong market traction underscores the model’s effectiveness: in 2025, Blockbrain achieved fivefold revenue growth. The momentum is driven by partnerships with leading knowledge-intensive and regulated enterprises, including Roland Berger, Bosch and Bosch Rexroth, Kärcher, fischer, Harting, Eberspächer, Bardehle Pagenberg, CHG Meridian, Domcura, and Seifert Logistics.

Trustworthy AI for Secure Enterprise Data

While many AI systems lack transparency and secure data controls, Blockbrain’s platform is built to the highest standards of security, governance, and compliance. It is GDPR-compliant, ISO 27001-certified, and fully aligned with the EU AI Act.

Its multi-model architecture avoids vendor lock-in, giving companies full control over models and sensitive data. In an independent benchmark by security specialist Giesecke+Devrient, Blockbrain scored 92 out of 105 points, well ahead of other enterprise AI providers, with the runner-up scoring 58.

With the new funding, Blockbrain is expanding its platform’s security, compliance, and governance capabilities while advancing specialized knowledge and AI agents. Planned enhancements include fallback mechanisms to improve model reliability, as well as new agent and research workflows to automate knowledge creation and research processes.

The company is growing its presence across Europe and the UK and adding Forward-Deployed AI Engineers to support clients with implementation and system integration. Additional investment will focus on platform development and new AI-driven knowledge management use cases, positioning Blockbrain as a trusted partner for enterprises seeking to deploy AI as a reliable core business tool.

“Companies lose valuable know-how every day, not through negligence, but because complex expertise and decision logic are rarely captured systematically. Blockbrain makes tacit knowledge permanently accessible, creating a strong foundation for productivity and competitiveness. The successful Series A gives the momentum to scale this approach across Europe,” said Antonius Gress, Co-Founder and CEO of Blockbrain.

“Quality and reliability at Blockbrain do not come from selecting a single AI agent,” said Mattias Protzmann, Co-Founder, CTO, and Chairman. “From day one, the focus has been on security, data sovereignty, and compliance, giving customers full transparency and control. In a corporate context, relying solely on model performance and promises is not enough.”

“In industry, expert knowledge drives quality and speed. When it is lost, productivity suffers. Blockbrain turns internal documents and team expertise into GDPR-compliant Knowledge Bots, without complex programming. The team, practical value, and strong feedback from leading industrial companies convinced us to lead this round,” said Benjamin Kleinschnitz, Senior Investment Manager at Alstin Capital.

“We invested in Blockbrain because it combines advanced AI technology with the highest standards of security, compliance, and reliability. The platform delivers tangible value and could strengthen Europe’s resilience in an era of uncertainty. At 13books Capital, Blockbrain is seen as shaping the future of responsible AI across critical and regulated sectors, from financial services to manufacturing and energy,” said Meera Bissoondeeal, Principal at 13books Capital.
