Helsinki-based startup Realm has raised a €3.8 million Seed round to accelerate the adoption of AI agents in enterprise sales workflows and expand internationally, including a planned entry into the US market.
The round was led by Frontline Ventures, with participation from HubSpot Ventures, as well as prominent angel investors including Cal Henderson and Alex Bouaziz.
Founded in 2023 by former Slush leaders Mikko Mäntylä and Miika Huttunen, together with Johan Jern, Realm is building a structured AI layer that transforms fragmented go-to-market data into execution-ready workflows.
From sales tools to execution systems
Realm positions itself at the intersection of AI infrastructure and revenue operations. The platform creates a structured “context graph” of a company’s market, pipeline, and product positioning, enabling AI agents to generate and execute complex sales deliverables.
According to the company, traditional sales systems are designed to record and report past activity, while the emerging paradigm is shifting toward systems that actively perform work.
The platform integrates with tools such as Slack, CRMs, and AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude, allowing teams to deploy AI agents directly within existing workflows.
Automating high-stakes enterprise workflows
Realm’s core use cases include automating time-intensive enterprise sales processes such as:
- RFP responses
- Security questionnaires
- Business cases and deal documentation
The company reports that 70–80% of AI-generated outputs are accepted without edits, with human refinements feeding back into the system to improve future performance.
CEO Mikko Mäntylä compares the shift to modern software development workflows, where developers increasingly manage multiple AI agents simultaneously to execute parallel tasks.
Backing from global operators
Investors highlighted Realm’s approach to structuring enterprise knowledge as a key differentiator in enabling reliable AI execution in revenue teams.
The new capital will be used to triple the team by the end of the year and accelerate expansion into the US market. Existing customers include Visma, Aiven, and Hostaway.
Market context
The raise reflects a broader shift in enterprise AI: moving from copilots that assist users to agent-based systems that execute end-to-end business workflows. In sales, this means reducing manual overhead in deal execution and compressing enterprise sales cycles through automation.
