About us

We’reCortea , a Berlin-based startup building AI products that transform how audits get done.
Auditors spend too much time on manual, repetitive work. We’re fixing that by giving them AI tools that understand their workflows and eliminate the grind. Backed by top-tier VCs with €10m+ in funding, real customers, and a working product — now it’s time to scale.

We valuefirst-principles thinking, speed, trust, and kindness. We work side by side in our Berlin office, moving fast and learning faster.
