Two independent outlets with different quotes (Tech.eu quotes the CEO, BeBeez quotes Almi's Ali Altaie) agree on ~$800K led by Almi Invest, with Antler, Gorilla Capital and angels participating. Neither outlet says pre-seed (the record does), so round type is not disclosed. The figure is approximate and may be converted from SEK, though both outlets state it in USD.
