LegalTech / AI Market: Lithuanian Legaltech EnforceShield Raises €1.7M Seed Funding
Lithuanian legaltech startup EnforceShield has secured €1.7 million in seed funding to expand its AI-powered platform for automating intellectual property (IP) enforcement. The round was led by Vendep Capital with participation from FIRSTPICK VC. Founded in 2024 by attorney Rytis Rudzinskas, the company provides a SaaS platform that autonomously handles the entire IP enforcement workflow, from detection to takedown, using AI agents for routine cases and a 'human-at-the-end' model for complex situations. EnforceShield serves over 20 enterprise customers and removes over 33,500 IP violations monthly. The funding will be used to enhance technical capabilities, extend AI agents to handle more complex cases, and support commercial growth in the US, which accounts for up to 80% of its sales pipeline. The company operates globally and has a US subsidiary in Tennessee.
Funding for AI-driven legaltech automation is relevant to the broader AI adoption trend in business processes, but not directly AdTech-specific.
