Icebreaker.vc participates in Clock&Cloud's €1.5M pre-seed round
Clock&Cloud has raised €1.5 million to advance its AI-powered geopolitical intelligence platform. The Helsinki-based startup, led by former Finnish Defence Forces officer Riku Hellgren, helps companies turn geopolitical insights into actionable business insights. The new funding will fuel product development and expansion as shifting global dynamics make geopolitical awareness more business-critical than ever. The funding round was led by Danish Ugly Duckling Ventures, with participation from Icebreaker.vc.
Founded in 2023 by experts in geopolitical intelligence, military strategy, business development, and software engineering, Clock&Cloud bridges the gap between global events and business impact. Unlike traditional intelligence platforms that focus solely on situational awareness and security, Clock&Cloud delivers business-relevant geopolitical insights in a digital format, providing speed and scale that traditional consulting firms cannot match.
“Geopolitical instability is no longer a distant concern. It is a defining force shaping business decisions today," says Riku Hellgren, CEO and Co-Founder of Clock&Cloud. "The need for proactive geopolitical insight will only grow in the coming years as the global order undergoes fundamental shifts. If history is any indication, businesses must prepare for volatility and uncertainty. Our platform goes beyond the security-focused intelligence tools currently on the market by providing actionable business insights shaped by global geopolitical dynamics.”
Riku Seppälä, General Partner at Icebreaker.vc, adds: “Clock&Cloud team has impressed us with their strong expertise, vision, and strong execution since we first invested a year ago. They are building a unique dataset and capability by combining business data with geopolitical analysis which allows companies to make the right decisions at the right time increasing resiliency and boosting profits. We're thrilled to continue working with the team.”
