In May 2025, Vienna-based startup Kickscale announced the successful closure of a €2.1 million seed funding round. The investment was led by aws Gründungsfonds, with participation from Altitude Ventures, Calm/Storm Ventures, and Carinthian Venture Fund. Notable angel investors included Julius Göllner (former CEO of Zalando Lounge), Michael Kamleitner, and Bitmovin co-founders Stefan Lederer and Christopher Mueller.
Founded in 2024 by Gerald Zankl, Markus Jenul, Fabian Riedlsperger, and Herwig Gangl, Kickscale offers an AI-powered sales intelligence platform tailored for European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The platform captures and analyzes sales conversations to provide actionable insights, helping sales teams forecast more accurately, identify at-risk deals, and replicate successful strategies. Designed with a focus on GDPR compliance and multilingual support, Kickscale addresses the unique needs of European businesses.
With the new funding, Kickscale plans to expand its operations across Europe and into the Middle East and Asia. The company aims to provide a European alternative to US-based sales intelligence platforms by offering a solution that aligns with regional data privacy standards and business practices.
