Berlin, 10 November 2026 - Agent F, the Berlin based business building AI agents to run accounting, planning, and controls for high-growth companies, has closed a $4 million pre-seed round. The round is led by Alpha Edison, a Los Angeles based fund whose partners helped build transformative technologies at Microsoft, Apple, Google and Snap. Joining the round are pan-European fund United Founders (Prague) and the London and Berlin based pre-seed fund Tiny Supercomputer Investment Company. Business angels include the unicorn founders Jan Oberhauser (n8n) and Julian Teicke (wefox, The Delta) as well as former SAP CTO Jürgen Müller.
In Europe, the back office grows faster than the business
Every new hire, customer and country adds filings, reports and reconciliations. In most growing companies the finance and admin team grows faster than the product team, and much of its day goes into moving numbers between spreadsheets, bank portals and accounting tools. Agent F builds software agents, meaning programs that receive a task and carry it out on their own: they take a task, carry it out across the tools a company already uses, document every entry so it can be traced, and hand the result to a finance professional who signs it off.
"Europe's problem is growth, and growth in Europe is slowed by admin, controlling overhead and bureaucracy. Every hire, customer and country adds filings, reports and reconciliations, so the back office grows faster than the business. We are building the agents that do that work, with numbers a CFO can sign off. By enabling faster growth, we want to enable humans to work on more relevant tasks," said Felix Schläger, Founder and CEO of Agent F.
The first ERP built for growth and change
Classic ERP systems are configured: a company adapts its processes to the software, often over months, and the scope is fixed once. Agent F turns this around. It is the first ERP built worldwide for growing and fast-changing companies and teams: the system learns a company's workflows, categorisation patterns and reporting logic, answers questions about cash, margins or runway in plain language, and expands with the company from one module and scope to the next, from bookkeeping to controlling to planning to warehouse, from one entity to five, from one country to three, without a re-implementation. It connects to banks, payment providers and accounting tools, supports multiple entities and currencies, and stores data on secure servers. Agent F starts with fast-growing German technology companies, typically startups from Series A, and expands to the rest of continental Europe from there.
"An ERP today is configured: you spend months bending your company around the software. Agent F learns the company instead. The agents watch how your bookings, approvals and reports actually run, take over the repetitive work, and leave a trail a finance professional can check line by line. Nothing goes out without a human signature," said Felix Schläger.
Investors: Alpha Edison, United Founders and angels from n8n, The Delta and SAP's former CTO
Alpha Edison sees in Agent F the potential to rebuild traditional enterprise software with agentic AI. The investment reflects the firm’s focus on backing ambitious founders whose technologies challenge established industries and create new markets.
"We believe agentic AI will transform how businesses operate, and ERP is integral to the ecosystem. Agent F is challenging the rigidity of traditional ERP systems with an AI-native approach that has the potential to redefine the category. The team has the technical expertise and ambition to lead that shift," said Nick Grouf, Managing Partner of Alpha Edison.
United Founders is a pan-European fund built around a community of more than 160 European founders.
"For a long time, Europe watched big technology categories being born elsewhere. Enterprise software is one of the last places where the rules are being written from scratch again, so we are not chasing anyone here. I think this category will be won by whoever builds it first and best, and we want that to be someone from Europe. Agent F is a small team with a hunger for big success, and those are exactly the founders we look for," said Vít Horký, founder and general partner of United Founders.
Among the business angels are two unicorn founders: Jan Oberhauser, founder of the Berlin workflow automation company n8n, and Julian Teicke, founder of The Delta and co-founder of wefox, for which he raised more than 1.5 billion US dollars. Dr. Jürgen Müller, former Chief Technology Officer of SAP, also invested and advises Agent F, as did successful founders and investors Maximilian von Düring, Daniel Lauchardt, Paul Ohlhaut, Nicklas Teicke and Timo Gerken.
Tiny Supercomputer Investment Company, the London and Berlin based pre-seed fund, also joined the round. Founded in 2017, Tiny has backed more than 450 companies at the earliest stage, among them Synthesia, Wayve, Payhawk, Sorare and n8n. Tiny is among the best-performing pre-seed funds in Europe. For Agent F, Tiny brings the pattern recognition of one of the most active early-stage investors on the continent.
A team from Amazon, Snapchat and Interactive Brokers
Felix Schläger founded Agent F in 2025 and leads it as sole Founder and CEO. Before Agent F he spent his career in finance and as a founder, notably at Interactive Brokers, one of the largest US brokerage firms, where he expanded the database systems for the company and its clients, including leading hedge funds. CTO Paul Ohlhaut spent twelve years at Amazon, including over a year reporting directly to Jeff Bezos, and joined Snapchat when the company had fewer than 20 people, staying through its IPO. He also invested in the round. The Agent F team of ten works from Berlin and comes from around the world.
Why Europe, why now
According to Mario Draghi's 2024 report on European competitiveness, not a single company with a market value above 100 billion euros has been built from scratch in the European Union in the past fifty years. All six US companies worth more than one trillion euros were created in the same period. Agent F's investors share the view that enterprise software for the AI era is a category Europe can still win, and that the company running a European business should be European. Starting in Europe also holds phenomenal potential: exporting nations and segmented markets need more sophisticated ERP systems earlier than anywhere else.
"We have urgent problems to solve, in industry, in energy, in society, in defence. And too many of our smartest people spend their days with stupid tasks - correcting spreadsheets, updating databases and chasing reports. Admin is Europe's growth tax. We want to automate it away so that engineers, managers and founders can build faster again," said Felix Schläger.
