Czech startup ValkaAI has extended its pre-seed funding round to €13 million, with backing from Look AI Ventures and ff Venture Capital. The company announced €12 million in initial external funding in February 2026.

ValkaAI plans to use the capital for real-time video and audio research, senior AI research hires, and work with commercial partners. Its ValkaAI Commentator product generates live sports and esports commentary from event data. The company is also developing its own video, audio and event-understanding models, with synchronizing speech, expressions and movement during live events still a research challenge.
