DecisionRules Funding News- Czech Cloud-Native Platform DecisionRules Raises €1.6Mn Funding

This funding will help DecisionRules grow in the US and UK by boosting sales, marketing, and improving its product.

With over 80 enterprise customers, DecisionRules aims to make business rules automation easy for all companies, not just large ones. It allows non-technical teams to manage rules without needing help from IT experts.

Business rules are used by companies to make decisions automatically, like approving loans, detecting fraud, or setting discounts. Traditionally, automating these rules has been expensive and required complex systems designed for large companies. These systems are often hard to set up and require a lot of technical knowledge.

DecisionRules offers a simple, affordable alternative. It lets businesses of any size create and manage rules on their own, without needing technical help. The platform is easy to use, integrates with other systems, and can grow with the company. Unlike older systems that take a long time to set up, DecisionRules lets businesses automate decisions quickly and easily. It’s already used in many industries, including finance, insurance, logistics, healthcare, and e-commerce.

Václav Kandrnal, CEO & Co-founder of DecisionRules, said: “This funding allows us to scale our sales and marketing globally, with a focus on the US and UK, where adoption is already strong. On the product side, we’re continuing to simplify and enhance decision automation, with new features, including AI-powered capabilities, on the way. Our goal is to break down the barriers that have made this technology out of reach for many businesses, and make decision automation as easy to access, afford and use as Excel or ChatGPT. Our new, energising investor lineup is the perfect fit for this, and aligns with our vision, opening powerful new doors for expansion.”

DecisionRules is already used by big companies like Accenture, Boohoo, WizzAir, and Wolford to make their operations smoother and reduce their reliance on IT teams. The platform allows business users to easily create rules using drag-and-drop, check them in real time, and manage different versions of rules. This gives users full control over decision-making processes. Recently, DecisionRules earned high satisfaction ratings in G2’s Spring 2025 report for Decision Management Platforms.

Michal Zálešák, Managing Partner at LightHouse Ventures, said: "Generative AI is booming, but the demand for logic-based decision systems, the kind that drive real-world business outcomes, remains underserved. The DecisionRules team have been building in this space for years before founding the startup. With the right mix of expertise and ambition, they’re poised to, not only scale the product in the BRMS market, but also shape the future of Decision Intelligence and Intelligent Automation."

Jean-Pascal Duvieusart, Founding Partner at BD Partners, said: “DecisionRules was an obvious investment for us. They’re tackling a massive, overlooked market with a product that’s not just smarter, but actually easy to use for the people who need it most. Add to that a sharp, driven team with global ambitions, and it’s clear this is a company with the potential to transform how decisions get made across industries.”

Vaclav Pavlecka, Managing Partner at Czech Founders VC, said: “Vašek, Petr, and their team from eppTec have spent years building mission-critical rule engines, and now they’ve channelled that experience into a frictionless SaaS. The result? A platform already trusted by banks, insurers, and e-commerce players to replace hard-coded logic with a visual interface that a business analyst can tweak in minutes. With that momentum, we believe they’re perfectly positioned to break into the U.S. market, and we’re excited to have the opportunity to support that journey.”

Jan Marecek, Managing Partner at Chilli Ventures, said: “The relatively small DecisionRules team managed to deliver their service to a relevant number of clients in real time and turn them into active users. Combined with the founders’ senior-level know-how and their healthy forward-thinking mindset, this played a key role in our investment decision. Data analytics followed by the application of AI—whether in processes, B2B/B2C relationship management, or production—is one of the main focus areas for our future investments. We believe in the team and are pleased to support their expansion as part of an interesting mix of investors.”

The funding will help DecisionRules grow its sales in the important US and UK markets and also start expanding into Latin America. Founded in 2023, DecisionRules is based in Prague, with a sales office in Wilmington, Delaware. The company is working on adding new features, like AI-assisted rule creation, and plans to enter more industries as the demand for decision automation keeps growing.
