Berlin-based Revel8, which trains employees to defend against AI-driven cyberattacks, has raised a €5.7 million seed round led by Peak, bringing its total funding to €7 million.
- Launched in 2023 by Julius Muth, Tom Müller, and Robert Seilbeck, Revel8 develops cybersecurity software aimed at tackling AI-driven social engineering.
- The company concentrates on strengthening the human layer of defense through adaptive simulations delivered across multiple communication channels, including email, SMS, voice, and video.
- The platform functions as an AI-native training environment that draws on live threat intelligence and open-source intelligence (OSINT) to generate individual risk profiles. These insights are used to design personalized attack scenarios that adapt to each employee’s role, behavior, and performance.
- By replicating the methods attackers actively use, ranging from phishing and vishing to deepfake impersonation, the system exposes users to realistic threats and reinforces decision-making under pressure.

"We are proud to participate again in this round of funding to support revel8’s mission to better fight cyberattacks in the age of AI," Merantix Capital's team, commented on LinkedIn.
- Revel8 plans to use the new funding to fuel its next stage of growth by expanding its team, strengthening enterprise-grade features, and pushing forward with international expansion.
- The investment will enable the company to further develop its AI-native platform, refine adaptive training capabilities, and broaden its reach to organizations worldwide.
