Stockholm-Based Galdera Secures €1.5Million Funding Led By J12 And Antler

The round was led by J12 Ventures, with participation from Antler and angel investors with experience at companies like Klarna, DeepL, Stripe, and Plata.

Galdera Labs is tackling a key issue in finance teams where models are often rebuilt from scratch when business conditions change leading to fragmented workflows and outdated assumptions. This limits the effectiveness of AI in finance due to a lack of consistent context.

Founded by Evan Rumpza, Mattia Scolari, and Giovanni Casula, the team previously worked at Klarna, managing financial planning across 26 markets during a period of rapid expansion. They developed internal systems that replaced static planning with continuously updated models.

Based on this experience, Galdera Labs is building what it calls “reasoning infrastructure” for finance. Its platform combines a high-speed calculation engine with a semantic memory layer that connects financial data to business context, assumptions and decisions, enabling continuously updated and context-aware financial models.

Galdera Labs’ platform allows finance teams to interact with financial models using natural language and run complex scenario simulations more easily, helping reduce the time needed for planning and analysis.

With its launch, the company is opening access to early customers, focusing on fast-growing organisations with complex operations where traditional financial tools are no longer sufficient.

The funding will be used to further develop Galdera Labs’ AI-powered financial modelling platform, expand its reasoning infrastructure, and support its rollout to initial customers

We’ve personally sat with 50 spreadsheets at two in the morning using tools that were supposed to solve the problem but didn’t. Financial modelling cannot rely on disposable models, whether they live in Excel or in a SaaS dashboard. Today, the technology exists for models that compound with the business. That is the infrastructure we are building with Galdera, said Evan Rumpza, co-founder and CEO of Galdera Labs.
