Airflows secures investment from Armilar to scale deterministic AI for regulated enterprises

Press Release — Madrid, 26/03/2026

• Airflows, a Spanish startup building a private-AI application development and automation platform targeting enterprise and public institutions, has closed a funding round of €2M.
• The round was led by Adara Ventures with participation from Armilar through Fund IV.
• The Airflows platform enables regulated organisations to build AI-powered applications and workflows that are deterministic, auditable, and production-ready.

Airflows addresses one of the core challenges of AI adoption: making AI systems behave like real software. Its platform combines private generative AI with a proprietary Domain Specific

Language (DSL) that serves as the application’s single source of truth, capturing business rules, entities, relationships, workflows, and user permissions in a structured, versionable, and auditable form. This architecture allows organisations to build AI-powered applications and automated workflows without sacrificing the predictability and governance that regulated industries require.

The platform is designed specifically for organisations operating under strict compliance and data privacy requirements. Its on-premises and private cloud deployment options directly address the growing demand from European enterprises and public institutions for AI solutions that keep data ownership in-house.

At Armilar, we have long followed the evolution of software infrastructure and development platforms, and have had the privilege of backing exceptional founders building global software companies. Today, the software industry is undergoing one of its most significant transitions, as generative AI reshapes how software is built and deployed and unlocks new levels of productivity.

Yet broad enterprise and public-sector adoption especially in regulated sectors in Europe will depend on platforms that combine AI-driven speed and flexibility with data sovereignty, governance, security, and control.

That is precisely what attracted us to Airflows. By introducing a deterministic, auditable, and private layer for AI-powered applications and workflows, Airflows enables organisations to move from experimentation to production without compromising on reliability, privacy, or compliance.

We are very pleased to back a highly experienced team, Antonio Lillo, Eduardo Rivas, Paco Hernández, Ignacio (Nacho) Cabrera and Julio Casal and to join Adara Ventures in supporting Airflows’ next phase of growth. This investment also marks the first investment in Spain from Armilar’s fund IV.
