• Repsense is a European dual-use data analytics company focused on information tracking and threat detection.
• The company has closed a €2 million seed round, including a final €1.1 million tranche.
• The latest investment was led by Tensor Ventures and Seed Starter, the corporate venture capital arm of Česká spořitelna bank.

“Repsense technology shows how quickly deep tech is penetrating several areas at once. It is a powerful information defense tool, but also a whole new space for advanced marketers,” says Ondřej Lipold, partner at Tensor Ventures, adding: “Information is an increasingly powerful asset, which is why we are delighted to be able to make such a significant investment.”

Tensor Ventures was joined by Seed Starter, CVC of Česká spořitelna, alongside existing investors BSV Ventures and Coinvest Capital. The round was completed in tranches throughout 2025.

“At Seed Starter, we actively seek deep-tech companies whose innovations can be applied not only in security and defence, but also across the banking and fintech sectors,” said Tomáš Milota, CEO of Seed Starter ČS, member of the Česká spořitelna group. “Repsense is building capabilities that will matter far beyond today’s information challenges, and we are excited to support their growth.”

“The information environment has become a frontline for governments, businesses, and institutions alike. We built our platform to give decision-makers the tools to see what’s coming and respond faster,” said Mykolas Katkus, CEO of Repsense.

The company’s flagship Havel platform enables clients to track, detect, and predict the spread and impact of information across social and traditional media. Havel is currently deployed by NATO’s Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence, multiple European government institutions, and commercial clients globally.

Repsense is also expanding its capabilities in short-form algorithmic content analysis and object-based recognition technology for emerging media formats. These capabilities are increasingly used to track and streamline disinformation, support influencer marketing, and safeguard brand reputations.

Repsense was founded in 2022 by communications specialist Mykolas Katkus and former Palantir engineer Alfredas Chmieliauskas. The company also built a narrative DNA forensics platform and began accelerating growth in 2025 when tech sales expert Liudvikas Andriulis joined it. The team operates from offices in Prague and Vilnius and employs 25 people.
