Nexos.ai raises €30 m to ease enterprise AI adoption
The platform positions itself as a ‘Switzerland for LLMs,’ acting as a governance and access layer between employees and generative AI tools.
The European startup Nexos.ai, headquartered in Vilnius, Lithuania, has closed a €30 million Series A funding round, co-led by Index Ventures and Evantic Capital, valuing the company at about €300 million (~US $350 million).
Founded by the duo behind cybersecurity unicorn Nord Security (Tomas Okmanas and Eimantas Sabaliauskas), Nexos.ai aims to solve what they describe as the ‘enterprise AI adoption crisis’. In their view, many organisations struggle with governance, cost control, fragmentation and security risks when using large-language models (LLMs).
Nexos.ai’s platform comprises two main components: an AI Workspace for employees and an AI Gateway for developers.
The Gateway offers orchestration across 200+ models, unified access, guardrails, cost monitoring and compliance oversight. The Workspace enables staff to work across formats, compare models and collaborate in a secure interface.
The company’s positioning as a neutral intermediary, likened to ‘Switzerland for LLMs’, underscores its mission to allow enterprises to gain productivity with AI without giving up data control or security.
The new funds will be used to extend support for private model deployment, expand into regulated sectors (finance, public institutions), grow across Europe and North America, and deepen product capabilities in routing, model fallback, and observability.
It’s an illustration of how investors are backing infrastructure plays in the enterprise-AI space: not just building new models, but creating the scaffolding for how organisations adopt, govern and deploy them safely.
