Miracly raises $2M pre-seed for AI search brand monitoring

Stockholm-based Miracly publicly launched with a $2 million pre-seed round led by Beenext Ventures and Lotus, alongside a Swedish family office and angel investors including Creandum founder Stefan Lindeberg and Deel CEO Alex Bouaziz, per e27 and Retail Technology Innovation Hub. The platform watches how AI answer engines such as ChatGPT and Claude describe and recommend a brand, then runs generative engine optimization (GEO) analytics, content, PR and performance-marketing tasks off what it finds through an AI agent called Mira. Co-founder Bjorn Bergstrom said the company is seeing demand from businesses facing “decreasing organic traffic from Google and increasing cost of performance marketing.” Early customers named include Dreams, Acclime, Pixi Beauty and Duellix.

Why it matters: A $2 million pre-seed for AI-brand monitoring, a fraction of rival Profound's $180 million raise six weeks earlier, shows venture money still entering the category at the earliest stage even as its leaders scale well past seed.
