Berlin-based GeneralMind, an AI startup building its own “System of Action”, designed to be an operational AI layer on top of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems, today announced the closing of a €10.2 million ($12 million) equity financing.
According to the company, this round was completed less than six months after the company began operating, and it claims that this is one of the largest publicly disclosed European pre-seed rounds in recent years.
The round was led by Lakestar, Leo Capital, Lucid Capital, Heliad, and BOOOM, alongside angel investors, including Alexander Kudlich, Jens Urbaniak, and Samir Sood.
Tushar Ahluwalia, founder and CEO of GeneralMind, said, “Companies often know exactly where things break down but struggle to turn that insight into operational execution. In e-commerce, I repeatedly saw how email-and-excel workarounds, inefficient manual processes, and painful stakeholder coordination between unstructured email communication and ERP systems create massive inefficiencies in large organisations.
“That’s exactly what we’re solving for with GeneralMind. Our AI runs these processes end-to-end; this isn’t a copilot, but an autopilot: human-supervised, and approved when needed.”
Founded in 2025 by the team that built the German unicorn Razor Group, GeneralMind is building an autonomous “AI System of Action” that takes over the repetitive white-collar work and unstructured email back-and-forth along the supply chain.
“Enterprises today run on legacy Systems of Records (SoRs) like ERPs. On top of those systems sits a human-as-glue-layer, teams living in inboxes and spreadsheets, stitching together handovers and exceptions to keep supply chains moving. GeneralMind is building the AI System of Action (SoAs) to take over that very layer,” the company mentioned in the press release.
Its AI Autopilot autonomously executes recurring workflows end-to-end across email, Excel, and enterprise systems. It is designed for mid-sized and large enterprises in Europe and other regions, with a focus on industry, commerce, and logistics.
Incoming tasks, which often arrive via email, are captured, analysed, and executed end-to-end. This approach comes in handy for use cases involving large volumes of small tasks that must be completed, handovers and alignments must be tracked, deadlines and compliance windows must be met, and many internal and external stakeholders are involved, such as sales operations, procurement or invoice processing.
In addition to its Berlin headquarters, the company operates a second site in Bangalore, India. GeneralMind claims that its technology is used by companies listed on NASDAQ, MDAX, and SDAX
