Lausanne-based Ex Nunc Intelligence has announced the closing of an oversubscribed €1.8 million (approx. $2.15 million) pre-Seed funding round. The round was led by Spicehaus Partners, with significant participation from Bloomhaus Ventures, Active Capital, Aperture Capital, Core Angels, and a group of high-profile angel investors. This capital injection will accelerate the development of Silex, the company’s flagship platform designed to serve as the infrastructure layer for the next era of legal work.
About The Company
Founded in 2022 as a spin-off from EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), Ex Nunc Intelligence distinguishes itself as a “native” LegalTech firm. Unlike tools built on generic AI models, Ex Nunc develops its own proprietary legal intelligence stack—managing everything from data ingestion and legal structuring to reasoning and generation.
The Silex platform is already utilized by several hundred law firms, notary offices, and corporate legal departments. Its key value proposition lies in its architecture: it combines public legal sources with a client’s private knowledge through secure, isolated data silos. This ensures strict confidentiality while transforming internal documents into structured, strategic assets.
Funding Details
The €1.8 million round reflects the growing demand for trusted, domain-specific AI in the legal sector. Kyriaki Bongard, co-founder and CEO, emphasized that the goal is not just to build another tool, but the underlying infrastructure legal professionals can trust.
“Legal professionals need systems they can trust. That is what we are building,” said Kyriaki. “At Ex Nunc, we believe AI can truly make a difference by augmenting expertise and transforming legal information into a strategic asset.”

Market Opportunity & Expansion
Ex Nunc Intelligence is tackling one of the primary barriers to AI adoption in law: data protection. By providing a platform where every answer is grounded in explicit legal sources—eliminating AI “hallucinations” or speculation—they have achieved rapid market validation.
The new funds will support:
- The rollout of specialized AI agents dedicated to specific legal branches.
- The development of a native digital legal publishing layer, allowing scholars and practitioners to publish content directly within Silex with improved compensation models.
- Further expansion of their legal knowledge infrastructure across the DACH region and beyond.
Strategic Roadmap
With a team of over ten experts in law and AI engineering, Ex Nunc is positioned to move beyond the current “wrapper” model of legal tools.
