Zymvol Biomodeling raises €3M to democratize the use of improved, sustainable enzymes across industries! We’re excited to continue our support of ZYMVOL as co-lead of this round alongside Faber and Übermorgen Ventures as ZYMVOL looks to enhance its experimental lab in the Barcelons Science Park, expand its proprietary tech, grow its sales & marketing team and bring its first custom-made enzyme kits to the market. Since its founding in 2017, ZYMVOL has established itself as a leader in computational enzyme discovery and design. Based between Barcelona and Boston, it partners with R&D teams from some of the world’s largest firms to transform their production processes—boosting innovation and reducing environmental impact—through tailored enzymatic solutions. “Over the past few years, Zymvol has revolutionised the way enzymes are discovered and engineered. Zymvol now outperforms alternative solutions across all key factors, including speed of development, specificity and efficiency. We are pleased to continue supporting the company as it expands its portfolio of enzymes and scales operations internationally.” said Sébastien Lefebvre, Partner at Elaia. Congratulations to Maria Fátima Lucas and the ZYMVOL team!

👩💻It’s a big week for AI in Paris, so what better time to share our latest deep dive on #agenticAI. The convergence of GenAI with next-generation agents is more than a neat upgrade, it’s a fundamental shift that promises to rewrite business models and strategic roadmaps across all industries. While there’s plenty of unknown in the details, from data sovereignty to R&D implications and business models, we’re convinced that agentic automation stands out as a true revolution, not just another evolution. In our latest article, we cover how we got to this (r)evolution, what agents are, the enterprise shift and finally how we are seeing the field emerge and the business models agentic startups could adopt. You might even see a few shoutouts to Elaia portfolio companies (👋 .txt, GetVocal AI, H Company and Tabnine).

🎙️ Thrilled to announce Elaia’s latest investment: GetVocal AI Why are we participating in this €2.7m funding round alongside Speedinvest? Customer success is a key market for AI agents. 92% of all customer interactions happen over the phone and 85% of both prospects and customers are dissatisfied with their on-the-phone experience. Built by a team of seasoned founders with over twelve years of experience building AI tools, GetVocal AI wants to create the most controllable performance-driven AI agents by allowing users to intelligently shape their conversations through a wide range of intuitive inputs, comparable to the way humans learn, make complex calls, and improve on the go. GetVocal is partnering with Capita to deploy voice agents at scale across Europe to enhance the customer journey. Customers will benefit from instant, accurate responses through reliable AI phone agents to reduce wait times and increase satisfaction. This funding round will be used to grow the team and further develop the company’s AI phone agent platform across Europe. Bravo to Roy Moussa, Antonin Bertin and the GetVocal team!
