About Karokan
The missing infrastructure layer in European AI.
Europe produces world-class AI talent and has the capital, models, and institutions to match. What it lacks is a sovereign human layer — verified experts who train, evaluate, and deploy AI under European jurisdiction.
Why Karokan exists
Europe has the models. The human layer is missing.
The models are being built
Mistral, Helsing, nineteen EU-funded AI Factories — the capital, infrastructure, and regulatory momentum are all in place.
The human layer is missing
European AI is trained and assessed through platforms controlled from San Francisco. European enterprises rely on American talent clouds with no continental infrastructure.
Karokan fills the gap
Sovereign data, evaluations, and deployed expertise for AI labs, governments, and enterprises — from Europe, under European jurisdiction, with native regulatory compliance.
Vision
A position built to compound.
Upstream and downstream
Karokan sits at the intersection of AI labs and evaluation workflows, and enterprise deployment and institutional demand.
A structural information advantage
Visibility into emerging capabilities from the evaluation layer, and visibility into unmet market needs from real-world advisory and deployment work.
Karokan Ventures
Over time, this asymmetry is intended to inform a dedicated seed vehicle focused on European AI.
