Cologne-based experial, a DeepTech startup transforming market research through AI-powered simulations, has raised €2 million in pre-Seed funding to accelerate development of its digital twin technology. The round was led by Capnamic, with participation from xdeck and angel investors including Professor Bernd Schmitt of Columbia University.
Dr Tobias Klinke, Co-founder and CEO, said experial aims to “make data-driven consumer research accessible to every company” by replacing slow, costly surveys with scalable AI simulations. Co-founded with Nader Fadl, experial’s models replicate consumer behavior without personal data, enabling companies to generate real-time market insights. The team, which now includes Dr Nils Rethmeier as CTO, already counts Fressnapf and TDK among its clients.
