Two European technology startups have announced new funding rounds aimed at applying artificial intelligence to specialised professional sectors, according to reporting by EU-Startups.
Fleuret AI, a Paris-based cybersecurity company, has closed a €4 million pre-Seed round. The company uses agentic AI to automate penetration testing, and said it will use the capital to hire talent across AI, software engineering, and offensive security, as well as to develop its platform further. The round was led by RAISE Ventures, with participation from Auriga Cyber Ventures, Wind Capital, Better Angle, and several business angels from the cybersecurity industry, including Jules Veyrat and Alexandre Andreini of Stoïk, Eric Fourrier of GitGuardian, Georges Lotigier of Vade, and Olivier Pantaleo and Jean-François Aliotti of Almond. Founded in 2026 by Yanis Grigy, who serves as CEO, and Augustin Ponsin, its CTO, Fleuret aims to shift penetration testing from one-off audits to continuous security coverage.
