Atira, a Munich-based AI startup, has raised $17.5 million in total, including a $15 million seed round led by Accel, complemented by a previously undisclosed $2.5 million pre-seed round. The company develops an AI agent platform that automates the creation of technical bids for complex industrial requests-for-proposals, a market estimated at over $128 billion in annual global labor spending. Since its commercial launch in November 2025, Atira has signed approximately 15 customers in full production, including ABB E-mobility and Chiron Group, which reports processing inbound quote requests 80% faster and saving 95 hours per quotation. Founded in November 2024 by former Palantir and Google employees, the company plans to use the funding to expand its engineering teams and hire its first non-founder commercial staff.
