Repsense, a Lithuanian dual-use data analytics company specialising in information tracking and threat detection, has closed its €2 million Seed round in order to further develop its dual-use information analytics capabilities.
The round was closed with a final €1.1 million investment led by Tensor Ventures and Seed Starter, CVC of Česká spořitelna bank, alongside existing investors BSV Ventures and Coinvest Capital. The round was completed in tranches throughout 2025.
“The information environment has become a frontline for governments, businesses, and institutions alike. We built our platform to give decision-makers the tools to see what’s coming and respond faster,” says Mykolas Katkus, CEO of Repsense.
In the wider European context for data analytics, cybersecurity and threat-detection technologies in 2025, EU-Startups has reported several adjacent funding rounds alongside Repsense’s Seed round.
In Belgium, XFA raised €1.5 million to expand its cybersecurity platform addressing hybrid and AI-native workplace risks, while Denmark-based Moxso secured €4.7 million to scale its AI-driven security awareness and human-risk intelligence platform. Switzerland has also seen activity in adjacent areas, with Soverli raising €2.2 million for sovereign smartphone security and Qala AG attracting €1.7 million to develop enterprise data governance capabilities for AI-driven organisations. In the UK, London-based Egregious closed a €936k pre-Seed round focused on defending against AI misuse.
Taken together, these 2025 rounds represent approximately €11 million invested across Europe into analytics-led security, governance and threat-detection technologies, situating Repsense’s Lithuanian Seed round within a geographically diverse but consistent funding landscape.
“Repsense technology shows how quickly DeepTech is penetrating several areas at once. It is a powerful information defense tool, but also a whole new space for advanced marketers,” says Ondřej Lipold, partner at Tensor Ventures. “Information is an increasingly powerful asset, which is why we are delighted to be able to make such a significant investment.”
Repsense was founded in 2022 by communications specialist Mykolas Katkus and former Palantir engineer Alfredas Chmieliauskas. The company also built a narrative DNA forensics platform and began accelerating growth in 2025 when tech sales expert Liudvikas Andriulis joined it.
The company’s flagship Havel platform enables clients to track, detect, and predict the spread and impact of information across social and traditional media. Havel is currently deployed by NATO’s Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence, multiple European government institutions, and commercial clients globally.
Repsense is also expanding its capabilities in short-form algorithmic content analysis and object-based recognition technology for emerging media formats. These capabilities are increasingly used to track and streamline disinformation, support influencer marketing, and safeguard brand reputations.
“At Seed Starter, we actively seek DeepTech companies whose innovations can be applied not only in security and defence, but also across the banking and FinTech sectors,” said Tomáš Milota, CEO of Seed Starter ČS, member of the Česká spořitelna group. “Repsense is building capabilities that will matter far beyond today’s information challenges, and we are excited to support their growth.”
