Marble Cognition raises $3.75M in pre-seed funding, co-led by Heartcore Capital and Seedcamp, to turn recordings of how employees actually work into workflows that AI agents can run end to end.
Heartcore and Seedcamp co-lead a $3.75M Munich pre-seed
Munich-based Marble Cognition GmbH announced the round on 2 November 2026, as reported the same day by Tech.eu, Silicon Republic and Unite.AI. At that day’s EUR/USD rate of 1.11924 (Forexuro, 2 Nov 2026), the $3.75M comes to about €3.35M.

Heartcore Capital and Seedcamp co-led the round. Seedcamp was also an early UiPath investor, according to Unite.AI. Angel investors joined without being named publicly; the announcement describes them as a Datadog board member, a Personio founder and executives from McKinsey, Mistral AI and Lovable.
Below, I look at what Marble builds, the market next to it and what this round signals.
The company says the money will go to scaling inference, growing its engineering team in Munich and launching in the US. CEO Felix Rösner framed the problem in the announcement. “Every company we talk to wants AI to take over real work. But nobody can tell the AI how that work is actually done.”
From screen recordings to Marble Coworkers
Marble Cognition was founded in late 2025 by Felix Rösner (CEO), who previously worked on AI sales agents at 11x, and Christophe Schmit (CTO), a former MIT researcher who also worked at Enam. The two met at Munich’s Center for Digital Technology and Management.
Its desktop app records screens, clicks and keystrokes inside business applications and turns them into structured process maps. Marble Coworkers, the company’s agents, then execute those workflows end to end in the tools a team already uses, through computer and browser use, and hand the case to a human wherever judgment or an approval is needed. The example the company gives is a refund-triage coworker.
Screen recording on employee desktops is the kind of feature European legal teams read twice, and the privacy design reflects that. The app excludes private apps and tabs and out-of-hours activity, employees can pause recording, analysis is aggregated, and data is anonymized before any person or model sees it, including in deployments on customer-owned cloud.
Named customers include EGYM, Mutares and Enam, and the company targets tech unicorns, PE-backed companies and AI roll-ups. One unnamed PE-owned US financial-services customer saw 90% less handling time per case and 50% more cases handled in the first month, with no extra hires, according to Marble. Those figures are company-reported and come from a single deployment.
Process mining is the nearest market with a number on it
The closest segment with a published size is process mining software, which Grand View Research expects to reach USD 21.92bn by 2030, at a 59.4% CAGR over 2025-2030 (Grand View Research, March 2025). Process mining is the adjacent segment to Marble’s own. No reliable sizing exists yet for “AI coworkers” as a category, so that figure frames the neighborhood and leaves Marble’s niche unmeasured.
The good news for a Munich company is that Europe led the process mining market in 2024, according to the same Grand View Research release. A 59.4% growth rate in the mapping layer means buyers are already paying to understand their processes. Marble is selling the step after the map, where the mapped process gets executed.
On our own fundraising data, the round lands in a busy week for AI agent and adoption startups. Oaiz raised SEK 23M (about €2.1M) at pre-seed for AI agents on 26 October 2026, Talky closed a €1.5M pre-seed in Spain on 29 October, and London’s Ares Intelligence raised a €2.6M seed on 30 October for AI adoption roadmaps (all Sesamers funding records). At about €3.35M, Marble’s pre-seed is the largest of the four and outsizes Ares Intelligence’s seed.
Investors are paying for the context layer under AI agents
Rösner’s line names the reality of agent deployments in 2026. Agents can already click, type and browse inside business software. How a given company processes a refund or signs off an exception mostly lives in its employees’ habits, which is the gap his quote describes.
The lead investors framed the round in the announcement. Reshma Sohoni, general partner at Seedcamp, said “Marble fills that gap, giving companies vital context for AI transformations”. Max Niederhofer, partner at Heartcore, said “What Felix and Christophe are building is a key technology for the AI-enabled workplace”.
PE-backed companies and AI roll-ups are the stated targets, and the only deployment Marble describes sits at a PE-owned US financial-services company. The angel list reads like a short tour of European software, with Personio, Mistral AI and Lovable represented and a Datadog board member alongside them.
Imagine if every agent rollout in Europe started from a recorded, anonymized map of how the work is really done in that company. That is the bet Heartcore and Seedcamp have co-signed in Munich.
What to watch as Marble heads for the US
Three things will tell us how this round ages. The first is whether the US launch produces named American customers next to EGYM, Mutares and Enam. The second is whether the company-reported gains from one financial-services deployment show up again in other customers and other sectors. The third is whether the privacy setup, with pause buttons, aggregation and anonymization, holds up as recording spreads across more European teams.
The process mining market already shows that Europe can lead a category built on understanding how companies work. Marble is betting the next category is built on doing that work. Let’s watch where the first US coworker clocks in.
