Copenhagen-based startup TODAY has raised €1 million in pre-seed funding to develop AI solutions for financial advisors. The round was led by Berlin’s Lucid Capital and joined by angel investors from companies including CLARK, Meta, Harvey AI, and Thinksurance. TODAY aims to streamline the advisory process through an AI-powered assistant that automates administrative tasks and extracts insights from client interactions. The company plans to use the funds to advance product development, grow its technical team, and support early market expansion.
Founded in 2024, TODAY is on a mission to unlock peace of mind at scale. TODAY’s first product, AI sales-assistant, leverages AI to automate routine tasks, extract actionable insights from digital and in-person client consultations, and help advisors focus on building lasting client relationships.
TODAY was founded by Michael Gackstatter (CEO), who helped scale German InsurTech CLARK from pitch deck to unicorn in product and operations roles. Building digital advisory journeys with CLARK’s outstanding advisory teams, he discovered the problem TODAY solves – leveraging AI to scale excellent advice.
“We deliver peace of mind at scale by empowering advisors with cutting-edge AI” said CEO Michael Gackstatter. Michael further shares: “While we invest heavily into our AI capabilities and team, our edge is simple: Listening to and rapidly iterating alongside the industry’s most customer-obsessed advisors.”
The €1 million pre-seed round was led by Berlin-based AI SaaS fund Lucid Capital and joined by a network of angel investors with backgrounds in InsurTech, AI, and insurance. Participants include individuals affiliated with companies such as CLARK, Ascendia, Harvey, Meta, Thinksurance, and Covago.

The capital will be used to advance TODAY’s product development, grow its sales efforts, and support its roadmap to build AI tools for financial advisors.
