Bedrock Platform Brings Agentic Programmatic to Germany
Bedrock Platform, a London-founded AdTech startup (2024), is expanding its European presence with a focus on Germany. The company operates a modular demand-side platform (DSP) that combines traditional programmatic features with AI-driven campaign control and automated, agent-based media workflows. Bedrock has established small local teams in Berlin and Frankfurt and maintains other offices in Barcelona, New York and Krakow. Technically, the firm has integrated its bidder into Index Exchange’s cloud via containerisation to lower latency and network costs and enable evaluation of more impressions. In a recent seed-extension round led by First Party Capital with participation from Aperiam Ventures, Bedrock says it raised about $1.6 million to fund product development and international expansion.
