Wiremind Raises €35M in First Funding Round
Paris-based AI software company Wiremind has closed a €35 million funding round, marking its first external capital raise since its founding in 2014. The company, which serves the transport, air cargo, and events industries, has been bootstrapped and profitable. The round was led by IronWave (formerly Wendel Growth), Bpifrance Investissement through its Large Venture fund, and Seaya Andromeda. Wiremind's co-founders will retain majority control. The funding will support international expansion into South America, the Middle East, and APAC, as well as increased investment in AI research and development. In 2025, the company's revenue grew 67%, and its flagship CAYZN revenue management system saw ARR grow 81% year-over-year.
This funding round highlights the growing investor interest in AI-driven revenue management software for transport and events, a niche but relevant segment of the broader AdTech/MarTech ecosystem. The scale-up from bootstrapping to external funding signals market confidence in AI-first optimization tools.
