About
Klarent provides an autonomous software testing platform. Its agents use large language models to write deterministic test code, which then runs repeatedly, with a human check on the results. The company is headquartered in Zurich and is led by CEO Asheem Panakkat and CTO Momchil Ivanov, both former Google engineers. EU-Startups says the company was founded in 2023 and was formerly called fore ai, and that customers include JD Sports, NZZ and Sixt.
Klarent announced an $8 million seed round on 2026-10-09, led by Mosaic Ventures, with Moonfire Ventures, Jürgen Galler, Harris Barton and AngelInvest Ventures. The company says it will use the funding to expand in the United States, grow its engineering team and extend the product across web and mobile. EU-Startups reports the same round as €7.13 million. This page uses the $8 million figure from Klarent's own announcement, which matches FinSMEs and the Raise Track Update.
