Neuralk-AI
Neuralk-AI is a Paris-based deeptech startup building foundation models for tabular, structured data - the spreadsheets, SQL tables and product catalogs that run retail and commerce but that large language models handle poorly. Its in-house model, NICL (Neuralk In-Context-Learning), delivers predictions via API for tasks like product classification, deduplication, catalog cleaning, demand forecasting and personalization, and the company maintains TabBench, an open benchmark for evaluating tabular models on real industrial use cases. Founded in 2023 by Antoine Moissenot and Alexandre Pasquiou, Neuralk-AI raised a $4M seed round in February 2025 led by Fly Ventures, with angels including Hugging Face co-founder Thomas Wolf and Alan's Charles Gorintin.
Alexandre Pasquiou
Alexandre Pasquiou is the CEO and co-founder of Neuralk-AI, a Paris deeptech building tabular foundation models - AI designed natively for the spreadsheets, SQL tables and product catalogs that run real businesses. A CentraleSupelec engineer with a PhD in computational neuroscience from Inria, he spent his doctorate measuring how well language models like GPT-2 and BERT predict human brain activity, then turned that obsession with structured signal into a company. Founded in 2023 with Antoine Moissenot, Neuralk raised a $4M seed in early 2025 led by Fly Ventures, backed by angels including Hugging Face's Thomas Wolf and Mirakl's Philippe Corrot, and works with retailers like E.Leclerc and Auchan.
