Marble Cognition bets that mapping unwritten work matters more than building AI agents
Marble Cognition, a Munich startup founded in late 2025 by Felix Rösner and Christophe Schmit, raised 3.35 million euros (3.75 million US dollars) in a pre-Seed round co-led by Heartcore and Seedcamp, betting that the scarce asset is knowing what to automate. The company says around 90 percent of core processes in the firms it works with live only in inboxes, spreadsheets and employees' heads.
The figure that matters sits on the cost side. At a private-equity-owned US financial services company, an AI coworker from Marble Cognition cut handling time per case by 90 percent, and in the first month the team processed 50 percent more cases without a new hire. The saving is hiring that never happens, while specialists still approve every settlement offer the agent prepares.
