Qorelo, a Berlin-based startup building the AI engine for modern ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) delivery, has raised €3 million ($3.5 million) in a Seed funding round just five months after the company was founded.
The round was co-led by HPI Ventures and Caesar Ventures, with participation from 10x Founders, Antler, Adesso Ventures, and Angel Invest.
Nicholas Torabi, co-founder of Qorelo, said, “Large enterprises are facing an unprecedented race against time to modernise their digital backbones before the 2027 deadline, but the industry simply lacks the human delivery capacity to make it happen.
“At Qorelo, we have built an elegant solution that automates the repetitive functional workstreams of these massive transformations. This funding allows us to bring on the absolute best engineering and sales talent in Europe to scale our platform and fundamentally change how enterprise software is deployed and maintained.”
Qorelo was founded in late 2025 by Nicholas Arman Maxwell Torabi (19), Louis Andrea Schmidlin (24), and Marino Kurtović (28). The company has built an AI intelligence layer which automates and simplifies the upgrade and migration of ERP projects using SAP software.
According to the company, modernising enterprise ERP systems is a complex and costly task. It indicates that just 8% of migrations are completed on time, projects extend about 30% beyond their planned duration, and more than 60% go off track in terms of budget, schedule, or quality. In the most extreme cases, failed transformations have cost large corporations hundreds of millions of euros before they were abandoned.
The startup further states that this challenge is being exacerbated by SAP issuing a strict instruction to all corporate users to migrate to a new modern version (S/4HANA) by 2027.
“35,000 SAP customers are currently undertaking this and, because each migration runs between 18 and 36 months, demand for skilled delivery talent is surging through late 2026. The global SAP application services market for S/4HANA transformation and optimisation was valued at €37.8 billion ($44 billion) in 2025 and is projected to reach €60.2 billion ($70 billion) by 2030,” the company mentions in the press release.
Qorelo claims to address the bottleneck of delivery capacity by automating the functional delivery workstream across ERP programmes. This reduces the delivery timelines of projects by 45%.
The platform acts as a permanent system of record for ERP delivery, turning one-time transformations into continuous optimisation relationships that keep corporate operational data permanently ready for artificial intelligence.
Qorelo caters to consultancies and enterprises. For consultancies, it helps win more contracts, deliver faster, and scale delivery capacity without increasing headcount. For enterprises, it helps reduce reliance on external consultancies and keep SAP expertise in-house.
Within those organisations, typical users include solution architects, process owners, functional leads, programme leadership (PMO and transformation leads), and SAP Centre of Excellence teams.
The German startup is initially working with corporates across the DACH region facing the SAP transformation crunch. It reports that a leading German automotive enterprise is already a live customer, engaging Qorelo for its transformation and expanding into ongoing native operations.
Jens Schmidt-Sceery, Partner at HPI Ventures, commented, “Modernising the enterprise tech stack is one of the hardest problems on any CIO’s desk. These are multi-year programmes where most of the risk and cost sits in slow, manual, expert-dependent work. Qorelo is the AI companion that carries enterprises and their consultants through it – turning fragmented discovery and scoping into structured, traceable progress, while keeping people in control.
“In a remarkably short time, this young founding team has won the trust of demanding enterprise customers like Mercedes-Benz – building the kind of early traction and commercial instinct that is rare at this stage. A clear signal of how fast and how far they can go.”
With this funding, the company plans to scale both growth and product development as Qorelo expands its team to tackle a massive market opportunity. The company is onboarding top-tier European talent, expanding from enterprise sales capabilities to deep technical knowledge on the SAP side.
