The funding round also attracted support from Arve Capital, the family office behind Sanner, as well as several well-known leaders from the technology and healthcare industries, including former SAP executive Dr. Marcell Vollmer, BCG Partner Dr. André Heeg, TWAICE CEO Dr. Stephan Rohr, the founders of Langdock, and Rodrigo Martinez through HelloWorld.

“We visit production sites where order lists are printed out in the morning, carried into the next room and typed back into another system. The people doing this work are extraordinary, holding disjointed systems together by hand. They deserve tools from this century,” says Daniel Hofinger, CEO and Co-founder of Kyrok. “Our goal is to make a concrete contribution to a competitive European SME sector.”

“Daniel and Lukas have already shown that they can make industrial companies more competitive through technology. With Kyrok, they are modernising an entire sector without taking it offline to do it. That is exactly the kind of leverage Europe needs to keep its SMEs competitive and its pharma and chemical supply chains resilient,” says Florian Obst, Partner at Speedinvest.

Founded in 2025 by Daniel Hofinger and Lukas Bierfreund, Kyrok is developing an AI-powered supply chain operating system for Europe's thousands of mid-sized pharmaceutical and chemical companies.

The company's AI agents are designed to work alongside employees, helping modernize operations that still rely on outdated systems and processes. By capturing and preserving the knowledge of experienced workers approaching retirement, Kyrok aims to improve efficiency, quality, and reliability across supply chains.

Through its technology, the startup hopes to help European industrial businesses remain competitive and strengthen the region's industrial sector for the long term.
