European AI rising star Nexos AI raises €30M to unlock enterprise AI adoption — or, how to burn through a metric ton of VC cash trying to make clueless corporations look smart

Oh great, another shiny-ass “AI unicorn in the making.” Nexos AI, a European startup that apparently thinks it can sprinkle some machine-learning fairy dust on big dumb corporations, just bagged itself a fat €30 million in Series A funding. Because, clearly, the one thing the world needed was *another* AI company promising to “unlock enterprise adoption.” Translation: they’re going to sell over-hyped automagic bullshit to execs who still can’t attach a PDF correctly.

Some fancy-pants investors with more money than sense lined up to throw cash at the thing, drooling over their so-called “AI orchestration platform.” Which—let’s be honest—is just a glorified bunch of APIs duct-taped together to make corporate spreadsheets slightly less soul-devouring. Their big plan? Help companies “scale AI responsibly.” Yeah, because when I think “responsibility,” I think venture-backed startups running Python scripts in the cloud while praying their GPUs don’t melt.

They’re bragging about landing enterprise clients already, which probably means they’ve got two demo projects and a PowerPoint deck that makes ChatGPT look like Skynet. But hey, good luck to them—there’s always a seat at the VC buffet for smartasses promising to “revolutionize” something nobody asked to be revolutionized in the first place.

Anyway, I’ll be over here watching their burn rate hit escape velocity while their “AI orchestration” spends most of its day orchestrating nothing but AWS billing alerts. But sure, let’s all pretend they’re the future of enterprise intelligence. Fucking brilliant.

Reminds me of the time some genius manager asked me to “automate the automation pipeline.” I did—then watched their entire system brick itself so bad we had to reboot the damn datacenter. Good times.
