Lithuanian AI-powered reputation tracking software Repsense has raised €425K from existing investors Lithuanian Coinvest Capital, Iron Wolf Capital, BSV Ventures (ex-Baltic Sandbox Ventures), and four business angels.

Founded in Vilnius in 2021 by Mykolas Katkus and Robertas Danielianas, Repsense has developed a public information analysis platform called Adler. It uses 86 factors to evaluate online perceptions of customers, identify propaganda and fake news, and analyze media and reputation. It also provides insights into social media and podcast trends.

The tool enables reputation assessment and competitive benchmarking across geographies.

Monitoring 95 industries in 165 countries, Repsense serves businesses, NGOs, media firms, and agencies globally, supporting corporate and defense needs.

The startup will use the investment to scale technology and expand globally.
