Kodesage has secured $6.6 million in fresh funding for its AI-driven platform designed to modernise legacy enterprise software systems, with backing from notable investors including 2014 World Cup winner Mario Götze and Christian Szegedy, co-founder of Elon Musk’s xAI venture. The German startup focuses specifically on regulated industries such as banking, where outdated software infrastructure poses operational and compliance risks. Unlike cloud-based solutions, Kodesage’s platform operates on-premise, addressing critical data sovereignty and security concerns that financial institutions face when adopting AI technology. The funding comes as banks globally struggle with aging software systems that hamper digital transformation efforts while requiring substantial IT budgets for maintenance. The on-premise deployment model positions Kodesage to capture market share in sectors where regulatory frameworks restrict cloud migration and external data sharing.
