Felix has secured $1.7 million in pre-seed funding to develop its hyperautomation platform tailored for legal, finance, and insurance sectors. The funding round was led by XYZ Venture Capital and included participation from angel investors, comprising current and former executives from major technology firms. The Prague-based startup aims to enable organizations to automate complex, knowledge-intensive workflows that traditionally require constant human oversight.
Felix’s platform allows users to articulate processes in plain language, after which it automatically generates and deploys the necessary code to operate those workflows. The system is designed with built-in checkpoints, audit trails, and deterministic outputs, ensuring reliability in high-stakes environments where consistency and traceability are paramount. For instance, a risk management firm based in New York utilized Felix to clear a backlog of more than 50,000 mortgage insurance policies in just three weeks, a task that would have otherwise taken over a decade if performed manually. The system continues to operate autonomously to prevent future backlogs.
In contrast to conventional AI tools that rely on probabilistic outputs from large language models, Felix focuses on deterministic automation. This focus ensures that identical inputs yield consistent outputs, a critical requirement for sectors with legal, financial, and regulatory considerations. By confining AI reasoning to specific areas within workflows, Felix aims to reduce operational costs while enhancing reliability, especially in high-volume environments.
The company was co-founded by Tomas Scavnicky and Mato Vetrak, who previously developed legal workflow automation technology acquired by FileVine in 2025. Scavnicky and Vetrak recognized a broader opportunity to apply similar automation capabilities across various professional service sectors, where institutional knowledge often becomes fragmented and challenging to scale.
Felix’s platform enables organizations to codify their internal processes into self-sustaining systems, effectively transforming institutional knowledge into repeatable and scalable operations. Additionally, it offers full auditability, allowing firms to track the decision-making process within each workflow. Early adopters of Felix have reported significant impacts; a UK-based insolvency claims firm used the platform to create a fraud detection engine that analyzed creditor claims at scale. Within eight weeks, the system identified £1.4 billion in recoverable assets by detecting fraudulent patterns across large datasets.
With the recent funding, Felix plans to expand its product capabilities while supporting growth in regulated industries where automation, compliance, and scalability are vital. In comments about the company’s vision, Scavnicky stated, “Every advance in AI is increasing individual productivity, but these gains are not being realized by institutions. We need to build the assembly line for knowledge work, one that requires no technical experience and enables institutions to retain tribal knowledge that may be spread across many different systems and databases.”
Co-founder and CTO Mato Vetrak added, “Most AI tools help you do the same work faster. We’re building the kind of safe, scalable and auditable infrastructure that high-stakes professional services can trust to codify who has the authority to, and how to make judgments about, different use cases, such as processing mortgage applications.”
Art Clarke, a partner at XYZ Venture Capital, expressed his enthusiasm for Felix, stating, “What drew us to Felix wasn’t just the technology, it was the insight and proven team behind it. Tomas and Mato recognized that the real bottleneck in professional services isn’t individual productivity, it’s institutional scalability.”
Matthew Letts, founder of Recourse Collective, further emphasized the platform’s transformative power, noting, “Felix gave us a way to do work that simply wasn’t possible before. Before we started working with Felix, we thought we might find millions in recoverable assets. But the scale that Felix gave us to automate big, thorny, repetitive tasks uncovered far more than we expected, making a massive difference for our business.”
As Felix moves forward with its ambitions, the company’s focus on deterministic automation could reshape workflows across multiple sectors, allowing organizations to harness their institutional knowledge while maintaining compliance and operational efficiency.
