Investors back Zurich-based Qala with €1.7 million to strengthen enterprise data governance in the AI era

Funding Rounds

▤ Summary

Qala AG raised €1.7 million in pre-seed funding to speed up product development for its source-level data observability and compliance platform. The company targets enterprises that need real-time visibility into data flows, lineage, classification, and policy enforcement as AI adoption increases. Qala positions its software as a shift-left governance layer that works at the source code, API, and pipeline level without forcing refactoring or workflow disruption. The round was led by QBIT Capital and Haatch, with backing from Backbone Ventures, ROI Ventures, and several angels. The company says the product helps compliance and engineering teams answer data control questions faster and improve readiness for regulations such as GDPR, DORA, and the EU AI Act.
