Lakmoos, a Czech provider of instant market research, has raised €300,000 in a pre-seed round. The investor is Presto Ventures, as Vestbee was informed by the fund.
- Co-founded by Kamila Zahradnickova, Jan Polisensky, and Roman Konecny, Lakmoos develops AI data models that simulate how target groups make decisions.
- According to the startup, the models combine three major data streams:
- publicly available data — from media or statistical offices,
- partner data — SC&C research agency,
- proprietary company data — archive reports, CRM data. - With this information, companies can quickly understand how their client base reacts to new products and ads, as claimed by Lakmoos.
- The funding comes from Presto Ventures, a Prague-based early-stage venture capital investment company empowering CEE startup founders. Their recent investments include Choice, a Ukrainian-founded B2B SaaS platform for restaurants, and OutKept, a Belgium-based cybersecurity company.
“Lakmoos is exactly the moonshot every VC is looking for. Born in deeptech, bold and audacious. With our investment, Kamila and her team will unlock a massive market opportunity with a hard-to-replicate technology that targets the most valuable enterprise customers,” Vojta Rocek, Parten at Presto Ventures, commented.
- Lakmoos plans to use the investment to scale sales with test kits in five industries: banking, automotive, telco, energy, and healthcare.
