June 2026 – Kinstellar has advised Catalyst Romania Fund II on its Series A investment in the Austrian company SOMAREALITY.

The round was led by Catalyst Romania Fund II, with participation from existing investors MT-Lab, RDY Ventures, Moondust Ventures, and Gateway Ventures. This marks the thirteenth investment for Catalyst Romania Fund II.

SOMAREALITY is a Vienna-based deep tech company developing eye tracking-based software solutions to measure cognitive states such as cognitive load, attention, perception, fatigue, and overall performance in real time. Since launching its first biomarker in 2024, the company has generated over EUR 2 million in B2B revenue and gained traction in several industries including aviation, healthcare, professional sports, and research.

The proceeds from the funding round will be used to expand existing B2B segments, support longitudinal studies focused on cognitive health and human performance, and enable a planned expansion into the B2C market.

At Catalyst Romania, we aim to partner with companies that don't just improve what already exists, but rethink entire industries and SOMAREALITY is doing exactly that. By turning eye-tracking data into real-time insights about how people think, they are opening up a new way to better understand the human mind, with impact far beyond current use cases.
