AI startup Marble Cognition (Marble) has raised $3.75 million in a pre-seed funding round. The round was co-led by Heartcore and Seedcamp, with support from several angel investors. These include a board member of Datadog, a founder of Personio, and executives from McKinsey, Mistral AI and Lovable.
Founded in late 2025 by Felix Rösner and Christophe Schmit, Marble develops AI technology that helps companies understand their internal business processes and automate everyday tasks.
As AI technology continues to improve, more companies are looking for ways to automate their operations. However, many businesses still lack clear records of how their daily work is carried out. Important information is often spread across emails, spreadsheets and employees’ knowledge. This makes it harder for companies to identify which tasks can be automated and how AI tools should handle them.
According to McKinsey, current technology could potentially automate around 57% of working hours in the US. Marble says that about 90% of the main business processes at the companies it works with are not properly documented. This creates challenges for businesses looking to introduce AI automation.
Marble aims to solve this problem by studying how employees complete their daily tasks and turning that information into clear process maps. These maps help AI systems understand how a company works and which tasks need to be completed.
Using this information, the platform creates AI agents called Marble Coworkers. These agents can carry out business tasks using the software and tools a company already uses. Employees can remain involved in tasks that require human judgement, decisions or approval.
“Every company we talk to wants AI to take over real work. But nobody can tell the AI how that work is actually done. So we solve that first. Our Coworkers watch how the work happens before they take it over. They do it the way your best people do, “said Felix Rösner, co-founder of Marble.
The company will use the new funding to improve its AI processing capabilities, grow its engineering team in Munich and expand into the US market.
