Autentic AI raises €1.5M to build its research network
The pre-seed round will fund more automation and a proprietary pool of verified consumers and industry experts.
Autentic AI raised €1.5 million in pre-seed funding announced on October 9, 2026. Baobab Ventures, Lanai, Acurio Ventures and Masia participated in the round.
The Spanish company will use the money to automate more of the research process and develop its own recruitment infrastructure. Building a verified participant network is intended to give it greater control over study quality and reduce reliance on external research panels.
Autentic combines parallel AI interviews with interpretation by human researchers. The investment supports a model in which companies can seek customer and expert feedback more frequently, without rebuilding recruitment and interview operations for each study.
