Tallinn-based Pickmybrain has raised €1.8 million in pre-seed funding from investors including Garri Zmudze, Raison.app, and additional backers, as it develops AI-powered “Digital Brains” for professionals and public figures. Founded in 2022 by Sergei Verbitski, the platform enables experts to transform their knowledge into AI-driven advisors that deliver personalised, on-demand insights.
The system trains models on structured content such as interviews, books, and recorded responses, allowing users to interact with expert-level AI while maintaining control over data inputs. The platform also routes complex queries directly to experts through asynchronous video.
With over 1,000 professionals onboard, including Peter Vesterbacka, Paul Pogba, and Bozoma Saint John, Pickmybrain is positioning AI as a new infrastructure for monetising expertise beyond traditional content-driven models.
