Estonian AI startup Sera raises €1.5M seed round to fuel international expansion and AI-driven sales prospecting

About Sera

  • Sera AI is a Tallinn-based startup founded by Karl Maaroos and Sergio Rannula. It develops an AI-powered platform that automates prospecting and lead qualification. Sera AI can be used to enrich company profiles effortlessly and enhance data with accurate emails, business metrics, and more. 

  • A user can tell Sera AI agent what companies they are trying to find and get a handpicked list of top-quality prospects. According to the startup, its platform has a database of over 150 million verified companies.

  • The company states its mission is to remove the greatest blocker for fast-expanding companies: finding the right customers.

“Sera was engineered to eliminate the soul-crushing grunt work of sales – the research, list building, and personalization that steal at least 15 hours a week from the average sales rep. Our AI delivers 5× higher qualification rates than the industry standard because it thinks like a human salesperson, not a spambot. The Estonian way is to build a strong product, keep the noise low, and deliver measurable value,” said Sergio Rannula, co-founder and CEO.

Investment details

  • The round was led by Maki.vc, a Helsinki-based venture capital firm known for backing ambitious deep-tech startups that aim to reshape industries. 

  • In November 2024, Maki.vc launched a €100M fund to propel deep tech and brand-driven startups in the Nordics.

  • Other participants in the round were Specialist VC, Ready Player Me co-founder Kaspar Tiri, and Bolt founder Markus Villig.
