A Munich‑based AI tax and accounting startup, Skalar, has just যদিও announced a combined pre‑seed and seed raise of €12m. The move follows the founder’s recent exit, when the company was sold to Klarna for €110m.

The sale marked a pivotal moment for the founder, who had built Skalar into a niche player in the European fintech landscape. Klarna’s acquisition was seen as a validation of Skalar’s technology and market potential, positioning the founder to scale the product further.

With the new capital, the team plans to expand its AI‑driven tax compliance suite, enhance its platform’s integration capabilities, and grow its customer base across Germany and the UK. Key hires in engineering and data science are already underway, and the company is also exploring partnerships with major accounting firms.

The founder is optimistic about the next phase, stating that the fresh funds will accelerate product development and help Skalar capture a larger share of the growing AI‑enabled financial services market.
