Porters has raised €2.7 million in a pre-seed funding round to develop AI-powered software for regulated banking operations.
The round was led by Earlybird, with participation from Seedcamp, fintech founders and experienced operators in the financial services sector.
Angel investors include Martin Kassing, Alexandre Prot, Lukas Zörner and Adrien Treccani, alongside additional investors with backgrounds in scaling regulated financial infrastructure.
Focus On High-Volume, Regulated Banking Processes
Founded by Konstantin Kotulla, Christopher Barth and Dr. Michael John, Porters develops AI-native software designed to streamline complex, time-sensitive workflows within banking operations.
The platform initially targets account seizure and insolvency management, areas where banks face high case volumes and strict compliance requirements. By automating routine processes while maintaining regulatory oversight, Porters enables operational teams to handle more cases without increasing headcount.
Konstantin Kotulla, Co-Founder of Porters, said the company is addressing a longstanding inefficiency within financial services.
“Many banking operations remain heavily manual despite years of digital transformation. We are building an AI-native service that allows institutions to scale efficiently while preserving resilience and compliance.”

Building Infrastructure For AI-Driven Financial Operations
Rather than offering generic automation tools, the company positions itself as a vertical solution built specifically for regulated financial institutions. The platform combines automation with structured service workflows to reduce operational friction and improve productivity.
The newly secured funding will support further product development and expansion into additional back-office domains for banks and fintech companies.
The startup aims to become a foundational layer for AI-powered financial operations, helping institutions modernise legacy workflows without disrupting compliance frameworks.
