Klarent Raises €7.13M to Help Enterprises Test AI-Generated Software at Scale

Zurich-based Klarent, previously known as fore ai, has raised €7.13 million in seed funding to expand its autonomous software testing platform and establish a stronger presence in the United States. The round was led by Mosaic Ventures, with participation from Moonfire Ventures, AngelInvest Ventures and several individual investors, including former Google director Jürgen Galler and Harris Barton. citeturn164083news0

Founded in 2023 by former Google engineers Asheem Panakkat and Momchil Ivanov, Klarent is tackling a growing challenge in software development: as AI tools make it possible to produce code faster, testing teams face increasing pressure to verify that applications work reliably before release. Panakkat leads the company as CEO, while Ivanov serves as CTO. citeturn164083search1turn164083news0

Klarent's platform uses specialised AI agents to handle the testing process, from discovering application workflows and preparing test scenarios to generating scripts, validating them and reporting results. Teams can describe the behaviour they want to check in plain language, allowing the system to create automated tests without requiring developers to write every script manually. The platform supports web and mobile applications, including iOS and Android. citeturn164083search2

A key distinction in Klarent's approach is how it separates AI-driven test creation from test execution. Large language models help generate the test code, but the resulting scripts run in a repeatable, deterministic way. A separate verification layer checks the work before it is used, combining the flexibility of AI with the consistency expected from enterprise software testing. citeturn164083news0

The company has already attracted customers across several European markets. Sports retailer JD Sports, Swiss media organisation Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) and mobility provider Sixt are among the businesses using its technology. At JD Sports, the platform automates workflows spanning multiple systems in the retailer's e-commerce operations. citeturn164083news0

Klarent's broader goal is to make software quality checks a continuous part of development rather than a bottleneck near release. Its agents can help teams maintain test coverage as applications change, reducing the repetitive work associated with updating and running conventional test suites.

The new funding will support Klarent's entry into the US market, expansion of its engineering team and development of broader testing capabilities across web and mobile environments. The company also plans to deepen its work with financial institutions, including banks and insurers, where software failures can carry significant operational and financial consequences. citeturn164083news0

As AI accelerates the pace of software production, Klarent is betting that reliable verification will become just as important as generating code. Its platform is designed to help enterprises release software more frequently without sacrificing the reliability their customers expect.
