About Cortea AI

Cortea AI is a Berlin-based company founded in 2024 by Valentin Neumann (CEO; formerly CTO at Audibene) and Philipp Hövelmann that builds an AI quality layer for audit firms. Its Audit Quality Agents review audit reports, financial statements, disclosure notes and workpapers before sign-off, cross-checking figures and supporting documentation to flag inconsistencies, missing information and Companies House filing issues while keeping certified auditors in control. The platform is designed to work alongside existing audit systems rather than replace them, helping firms improve quality and capacity under rising regulatory scrutiny. After a €3.1 million seed led by Cherry Ventures in March 2025, Cortea raised a €12 million Seed round in June 2026 led by Dawn Capital, with Cherry Ventures, Mosaic Ventures and angel Larry Bradley (former Global Head of Audit at KPMG). Proceeds fund additional agents, deeper audit-platform integrations and expansion across the UK, Germany and the United States. Sources: EU-Startups 16 Jun 2026; GlobeNewswire; cortea.ai.
