Signifying a major boost for Europe’s fast-growing AI landscape, Nexos AI has raised €30M in a Series A funding round in a bid to accelerate enterprise AI adoption.
Evantic Capital and existing investor Index Ventures co-led the round, joined by Creandum, Dig Ventures, and other angel investors. This marks a significant milestone for the start-up that is rapidly becoming a key figure in Europe’s enterprise AI movement.
A Little Detour: Meet Nexos AI
Founded in 2024 by Tomas Okmanas (CEO), (also co-founder of cybersecurity unicorn Nord Security and Oxylabs) and Elimantas Sabaliauskas, Nexos AI is an all-in-one platform that helps businesses seamlessly integrate, manage, and secure multiple AI models.
The company began with a $8 million seed funding round in January 2025, led by Index Ventures with participation from Creandum and Dig Ventures. The funds were used to develop Nexos’ core goal: building an AI operating system for enterprises that enables teams to deploy and manage hundreds of AI models on a unified, secure platform.
At the time of that funding, nexos.ai had not yet officially launched but was already in testing by several major international enterprises (particularly those automating customer support workflows).
Today, the platform acts as a centralized hub for over 200 large language models (LLMs) from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta—eliminating the need for teams to juggle multiple accounts, APIs, and tools.
A Bold Step Towards Scalable AI Transformation
“While security teams focus on traditional cyber threats like ransomware, their own employees are carrying out the biggest data leak in corporate history right under their noses,” said Tomas Okmanas, CEO of Nexos AI.
The goal of the recent funding round? Mitigate the risks of “Shadow AI” threats (i.e., uncontrolled use of consumer AI tools by employees within a company without approval), which could lead to data leaks.
The Solution
With the €30M funds generated from this round, Nexos aims to solve the enterprise AI adoption crisis and risks by providing a unified control layer through its platform that addresses four critical barriers. These include:
- Fragmented/Insecure deployments
- Uncontrolled costs
- Zero visibility, and
- Failed governance
To further amp up the platforms’ credibility and security, it is divided into two main components:
AI Workspace (For Employees): This interface lets employees safely use and collaborate on AI tools while preventing data leaks.
The workspace allows teams to chat with multiple LLMs in a single interface while maintaining security through customizable guardrails and role-based access controls, ensuring employees adhere to company policy.
With the workspace, teams can compare models side-by-side, work with any file format, and collaborate on AI projects without worries of data leaks.
AI Gateway (For Developers): the gateway provides a central API access point for developers to manage and orchestrate all models efficiently, securely, and cost-effectively. With the gateway, developers get plug-and-play API access to orchestrate over 200 AI models through one endpoint. The gateway also provides cost and latency management via intelligent caching and a secure/reliable infrastructure, which aids grounding, uptime, and privacy on the platform.
The combination of AI Workspace and AI Gateway helps companies route tasks to the optimal model while simultaneously maintaining centralized security, cost management, and compliance oversight across the entire organization.
With a proper architecting of AI infrastructure, Nexos will be able to prevent common pitfalls of initial excitement leading to exploding costs and failed deployments. The remainder of the funds will also be employed in expanding the reach of nexos.ai across Europe and North America.
