QuoIntelligence, a Frankfurt-based provider of Unified Risk Intelligence, today announced the close of a €7.3 million Series A funding round to support go-to-market expansion, product development, and team growth.
The round was led by Elevator Ventures, the venture capital arm of Raiffeisen Bank International, and co-led by BMH Beteiligungs- Managementgesellschaft Hessen (BMH), with participation from returning investor eCAPITAL ENTREPRENEURIAL PARTNERS, and further supported by Mercurius Private Equity.
Marco Riccardi, CEO and founder, QuoIntelligence, said, “World-class threat intelligence has always been described as something only large teams can produce. We built QuoIntelligence to prove that wrong: our vision is Unified Risk Intelligence – cyber threats, physical risks, and geopolitical signals converging into decisions, not just alerts, for any organisation, within hours of onboarding, under European law.
“NIS2 and DORA have turned what was a competitive advantage for our customers into a regulatory baseline for every mid-market company in Europe. This round gives us the fuel to build that standard at scale, and Elevator Ventures, BMH, and eCapital are the partners who make it possible.”
Founded in Frankfurt in 2020 by Marco Riccardi, QuoIntelligence offers Unified Risk Intelligence to European mid-market organisations. It claims to deliver finished threat intelligence that is already analysed, already contextualised, and ready to act on, with no in-house team required to operate it.
According to the company, the two EU cybersecurity regulations NIS2 and DORA together mandate proactive and preemptive cyber risk management and supply chain oversight across more than 160,000 European organisations. This creates a structural demand for continuous, forward-looking intelligence.
It also mentions that most organisations lack an in-house function, and establishing one demands a substantial six-figure investment in talent, not counting the time needed to operationalise it.
At the same time, European procurement frameworks are increasingly requiring that highly sensitive data remain under EU jurisdictions. This disqualifies the non-EU vendors that have historically dominated the market.
QuoIntelligence claims to be the answer by providing finished intelligence, produced using European technology, stored on German soil, delivered within hours of onboarding, and requiring no internal team to operate.
It states that its analyst-first model combines Mercury, an AI-powered threat intelligence platform, with a team of European analysts who review, curate, and contextualise every intelligence output in the client’s language and sector.
The company’s conversational AI analyst is called KARLA, which makes that intelligence accessible at every level of an organisation.
Emphasising the importance of European sovereignty for QuoIntelligence, the company highlights that it is incorporated under German law, operates two additional entities in Spain and Italy, and stores all intelligence data under EU jurisdiction, regardless of where its clients are located. QuoIntelligence claims to be one of the few providers able to satisfy those requirements while matching the intelligence depth previously available only from US, Russian or Israeli vendors.
Apart from the capital, the company notes that Elevator Ventures’ deep roots in DACH and CEE banking and financial services make it a strategically significant partner. “QuoIntelligence’s primary growth vector runs directly through financial sector clients navigating DORA and NIS2 compliance requirements, and Elevator Ventures’ network opens doors that are central to that expansion,” says the German startup.
BMH, as Hessen’s leading public equity investor and a wholly owned subsidiary of Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen Girozentrale (Helaba), connects QuoIntelligence directly to the German Mittelstand (SMEs) it is building for.
Explaining why it chose Frankfurt as its base, the company says, “Frankfurt is Europe’s financial capital, home to the European Central Bank and the operational centre of much of the German Mittelstand now falling inside NIS2 and DORA scope. For a company building Unified Risk Intelligence for regulated European organisations, Frankfurt is not a satellite to the market – it is the market.”
In 2023, the company raised €5 million in a seed financing round led by DeepTech VC investor eCAPITAL Entrepreneurial Partners.
QuoIntelligence meets ISO 27001, NIS2 and DORA requirements and is an official ENISA provider, and serves organisations in finance, government, manufacturing, retail and transportation across Europe. It enters this financing round with strong revenue growth momentum, recording zero client churn in 2025. Its customer lifetime value has grown nearly six times since 2023.
This year, the company plans to prioritise a channel-led go-to-market strategy, with system integrators, resellers and service providers beginning to drive a growing share of new business.
