Funds for AI Search Ranking Firm Ranketta

Czech company Ranketta, which tracks the ranking of brands and products in AI search results and advises clients on improving them, has secured EUR 1 million in pre-seed funding. The money will allow it to enter the US market, extend integrations with Shopify, and recruit for engineering, product and sales roles.

The firm was launched this year by 21-year-old AI researcher Vojtěch Oravec. Ranketta tracks in real time how often brands and products appear in ChatGPT Shopping, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Perplexity, as well as which listings drive visibility, and whether overall sentiment is positive, neutral or negative.

The round was led by Lighthouse Ventures, with participation from Gi21 Capital, and the firm is online at www.ranketta.com .
