Polish startup Replenit announces pre-seed funding round co-led by Movens Capital and Vastpoint

Replenit, a Warsaw-based startup behind an AI decision engine for retail that turns customer signals into real-time, individualised decisions, has raised $2.5 million in a pre-seed funding round.

This was co-led by Movens Capital and Vastpoint, with participation from Logo Ventures, DigitalOcean Ventures, Finberg, Caucasus Ventures, and angel investor Mati Staniszewski, CEO and co-founder of ElevenLabs.

Ilyas Kurklu, Co-founder and CEO at Replenit, says: “Retailers can no longer rely on prediction alone. They need to understand intent, reason in context, and decide what to do next for each individual customer.”

“Most AI tools today focus on efficiency or content generation, but the real challenge is decision-making. Replenit improves the quality of every commercial decision, helping retailers move from static rules to real-time, AI driven actions that directly drive revenue. Our vision is to define a new standard for retail intelligence.”

Lukasz Lewandowski, Investment Director at Movens Capital, says: "Retailers are sitting on tons of customer data, but very few can turn it into real-time decisions that drive revenue. Replenit is building the AI layer that closes that gap, helping brands act at the exact moment a customer is ready to buy again. With a team that has already scaled global martech platforms and early proof with major retailers, we believe Replenit has the potential to define a new category in retail infrastructure."

Karolina Kukiłka, Partner at Vastpoint, says: “Higher diversity of talent is one of the keys to Poland’s long-term success as a technology hub. The Replenit team combines ambition, exceptional customer success, and operational efficiency, which made it an easy investment decision.”

The $2.5 million round will support product development, and AI research, and operations and engineering teams growth in Poland and the Netherlands. Replenish also plans to expand its US presence and establish a local team before the end of 2026.

2026 RTIH Innovation Awards

AI will be a key focus area at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards are now open for entries and celebrate global retail technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our winners will be revealed at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards Ceremony, taking place at The HAC in Central London on Wednesday, 4th November.

Check out our 2025 winners here.

Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”

“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”

He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”

Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
