AWS Launches New Nova AI Models And a Service That Gives Customers More Control

European AI Rising Star Nexos.ai Raises €30M to Unlock Enterprise AI Adoption

For many enterprise companies, AI promises efficiency but often comes with security fears. European AI rising star Nexos.ai raises €30M to unlock enterprise AI adoption, providing a secure bridge between employees and AI systems. The funding comes just months after Nexos.ai emerged from stealth with an $8 million round led by Index Ventures.

Lithuania’s renowned entrepreneur duo, Tomas Okmanas and Eimantas Sabaliauskas, are behind Nexos.ai, aiming to help companies adopt AI tools securely. Rather than banning AI, Nexos.ai acts as a “Switzerland for LLMs,” ensuring sensitive data stays protected while employees leverage AI’s productivity benefits.

Why Nexos.ai Is Attracting Investors

The €30 million Series A round, co-led by Index Ventures and Evantic Capital at a €300 million valuation, reflects strong confidence in Nexos.ai’s approach. Previous backers like Creandum and Dig Ventures, along with angel investors including the CEOs of Datadog, Klarna, Supercell, and Wix, also joined the round.

Evantic, a venture firm founded by ex-Sequoia partner Matt Miller, brought its ‘Legends’ network into play—140 experienced operators advising startups. Nexos.ai’s founders, known for bootstrapping NordVPN into a $3 billion company, are now leveraging both capital and expertise to scale securely.

How Nexos.ai Makes Enterprise AI Safer

Nexos.ai offers an AI Workspace for employees and an AI Gateway for developers. The gateway provides centralized control for security, cost management, and compliance, while reducing the fragmentation that slows AI adoption. Currently, it connects to over 200 AI models, and the new funding will accelerate support for private models handling sensitive data.

By positioning itself as a secure middle layer between teams and AI tools, Nexos.ai addresses one of the biggest concerns in enterprise AI: uncontrolled data sharing. This strategy positions the company as a crucial enabler for businesses looking to adopt AI responsibly.

With €30 million secured, Nexos.ai is set to expand its product capabilities and enterprise reach. Its combination of veteran founders, strategic funding, and a focus on AI security makes it one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI startups. Companies seeking to integrate AI without risking data exposure now have a compelling option in Nexos.ai.
