kausable AI builds reasoning-first foundation models that learn causal relationships from synthetic data to adapt quickly to new situations using only a handful of examples. The startup's core product is a causal "world model" architecture and associated models like TipPFN, a zero-shot forecasting model that predicts tipping points across domains such as medicine and energy. Founded by Johannes Haux (CEO), Dr Benjamin Herdeanu (CTO) and Gregor Ramien (COO) in 2025 out of research at Heidelberg University, the company has a nine-person team and has published research including a paper co-authored with Columbia University collaborators. Financially, kausable raised roughly €1.5M in pre-seed financing and has now secured €12M in a seed round led by UVC Partners and Entourage, supplemented by strategic angel backers. Over the next year it intends to expand the team, run customer pilot projects, become more product-focused, and target applications in robotics, healthcare, forecasting and industrial systems.
