TopK Raises $5.5M to Build Unified AI-Native Search Infrastructure for Structured and Unstructured Data

Prague-based startup TopK has secured $5.5 million in seed funding to accelerate the development of its AI-native search platform. The round was led by Earlybird, with participation from KAYA, Irregular Expressions, and several angel investors.

TopK is building a unified search engine designed to handle both structured and unstructured data through a single system. The platform integrates vector search, keyword matching, filtering, and ranking — making it adaptable to AI agents and developers working across sectors such as finance, healthcare, e-commerce, and law.

Founded in 2024 by Marek Galovič and Jerguš Lejko, the company will use the new capital to expand its team and enhance enterprise-grade features, positioning itself as a foundational layer for next-generation AI applications.
