Copenhagen startup NobodyWho raises €2 million to power on-device AI models

Copenhagen-based AI company NobodyWho has secured €2 million in pre-seed funding to develop technology that allows artificial intelligence models to run directly on smartphones and laptops, without relying on cloud infrastructure.

The funding round was led by Nordic early-stage investors PSV Tech and The Footprint Firm, with additional participation from Norrsken Evolve. The investment will support the company’s work on Small Language Models (SLMs), which are designed to operate locally on devices rather than through remote servers.

While most large language models currently depend on cloud-based systems, this approach often involves high computing costs, energy use and the transfer of sensitive data to external servers. NobodyWho is taking an alternative route by keeping AI processing on the device, enabling offline use and giving users full control over their data.
