Berlin-based mobile cybersecurity startup Kazimi has raised €2.2 million in an oversubscribed pre-seed funding round led by Market One Capital, with participation from IBB Ventures.
- Founded by Andreas Naumann, Kazimi develops privacy-preserving security technology that helps mobile app developers secure first-party data, verify app-generated signals, and distinguish genuine users from bots and other fraudulent activity.
- The company’s technology uses cryptographic proofs without relying on personally identifiable information (PII), enabling developers to detect non-human activity while preserving user privacy.
- Kazimi’s solution is already used by mobile gaming studios, rewards platforms, and fintech apps, addressing growing concerns around bot activity and data reliability in mobile marketing.
