Lighthouse Ventures led the round, with participation from Czech Founders VC, BD Partners, Chilli Ventures and Czech angel investors Ory Weihs and Michael Rostock-Poplar.
Founded in 2023 by Václav Kandrnal and Petr Lev, DecisionRules is headquartered in Prague, and counts with a US office in Wilmington, Delaware. The company offers a cloud-native SaaS platform that helps companies automate decision-making without relying on IT teams. Built for a range of industries, including finance, insurance, e-commerce, logistics and healthcare, it enables business users to create, edit and deploy rules in real time, replacing the complexity and cost of traditional rule management systems.
“Our goal is to break down the barriers that have made this technology out of reach for many businesses, and make decision automation as easy to access, afford and use as Excel or ChatGPT. Our new, energising investor lineup is the perfect fit for this, and aligns with our vision, opening powerful new doors for expansion,” says Václav Kandrnal, CEO & Co-founder of DecisionRules.
With over 80 enterprise customers, DecisionRules aims to make rules automation accessible to both businesses and non-technical teams. DecisionRules is already used by enterprise customers such as Accenture, Boohoo, WizzAir and Wolford, who rely on the platform to streamline operations and reduce dependency on IT teams.
The funding will be used to expand in the US and UK by growing its outbound sales and marketing efforts, and enhancing its product capabilities.
“Generative AI is booming, but the demand for logic-based decision systems, the kind that drive real-world business outcomes, remains underserved. The DecisionRules team have been building in this space for years before founding the startup. With the right mix of expertise and ambition, they’re poised to, not only scale the product in the BRMS market, but also shape the future of Decision Intelligence and Intelligent Automation” says Michal Zálešák, Managing Partner at Lighthouse Ventures
