Ahron Raises €2.2M for AI-Driven HR Automation

Munich-based HR tech startup Ahron has raised €2.2 million in a funding round led by Cusp Capital, with participation from angel investors including Sabine Kohleisen, former HR board member at Mercedes-Benz Group. Founded in late 2025 by Carl Hoffmann and Rado Pavlov, Ahron is developing an AI agent-based platform that automates HR processes across existing enterprise systems, addressing the fragmentation of HR software. The platform leverages Celonis's Process Intelligence to create digital twins of HR processes and includes a central control layer for defining policies and guardrails. Since the start of the year, Ahron has generated over €1 million in annual recurring revenue and secured customers in the US and Europe. The new funding will support product development, particularly the central control layer, and international expansion.

Schwarz Digits Adds Celonis, Snowflake to STACKIT Cloud

Schwarz Digits is expanding its STACKIT cloud platform by integrating Celonis and Snowflake to create an open data and AI ecosystem for enterprises and public institutions. Celonis will run as a single-tenant solution on STACKIT, offering process intelligence and the Celonis Context Model on sovereign infrastructure. Snowflake will be integrated in phases, starting with customer data stored in the open Apache Iceberg format and integration with STACKIT's key management system. The long-term goal is to operate the AI Data Platform natively on STACKIT, ensuring data storage and processing remain on European infrastructure, addressing data protection, compliance, and sovereignty requirements. This move positions STACKIT as a counter-model to closed platform ecosystems, allowing customers to combine various AI and data services.
