Porters Announces €2.7M Pre-Seed to Automate Banking Operations With AI

Fintech startup Porters has secured €2.7 million in pre-seed funding to modernize banking operations through AI-driven automation. The round was led by Earlybird, with participation from Seedcamp and angel investors including Martin Kassing, Alexandre Prot, Lukas Zörner, Adrien Treccani, Casper Wahler, and Jonathan Brander.

Founded in 2025 by Konstantin Kotulla, Christopher Barth, and Michael John, the company is developing AI-native systems designed to replace legacy back-office tools with autonomous, human-in-the-loop workflows for regulated processes such as account seizures, chargebacks, and insolvency coordination. The funding will support platform development, expansion of services for financial institutions, and team growth, positioning Porters to address operational complexity in compliance-heavy banking environments.
