Venture builder Improbable has invested $2 million in Otomato, a portfolio-aware DeFi intelligence layer that continuously monitors users’ on-chain positions and notifies them when material changes affect their risk, costs, or opportunities.
This investment is among the first external bets under Improbable’s renewed focus on companies at the intersection of AI and web3, following the successful launch of the Somnia Layer 1 blockchain.
Active DeFi users typically hold positions across many protocols and chains, switching between dashboards and often missing critical events such as liquidations, rate spikes, and depegs. Generic alert tools produce too much noise, making it hard to see what truly matters.
Otomato addresses this problem by asking users to provide their wallet addresses, automatically detecting every on-chain position — including lending, tokens, NFTs, and prediction market exposure — and monitoring those positions in real time across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and HyperEVM. The platform filters signals and surfaces only the alerts that are materially relevant to each user.
Traction that speaks for itself
The product’s growth has been entirely organic. Otomato began as a Telegram bot and has attracted more than 2,000 users, with over 1,500 actively receiving alerts. It integrates more than ten protocols, including AAVE, Pendle, Uniswap, Morpho, Euler, and Hyperliquid.
In December 2025, Otomato ran a HyperEVM Wrapped campaign that attracted 3,690 unique users in five days, converting 81.6% of them into Telegram bot users. The campaign was shared widely on social media and required no paid promotion. Otomato’s consumer app launched on the App Store and Google Play in April 2026.
“The opportunity Otomato is pursuing is enormous. DeFi is becoming the back end of a larger AI-powered economy, and the first team to build the intelligence layer that understands what users actually hold and tells them what matters has the potential to win an entire category,” said Herman Narula, Co‑Founder & CEO of Improbable.
Otomato gives customers agency and full control of their positions, something they were lacking before. What convinced us to back Clement, Dylan, and the team was their drive. They shipped a product users genuinely love, grew it virally with no paid spend, and they are moving faster than almost any team I have seen at this stage. That is exactly the kind of founder we set out to build with.
What the investment unlocks
The funding will be used to accelerate product development, expand multi-chain and multi-vertical coverage, and scale go-to-market efforts.
In addition to capital, the investment unlocks hands-on operational support from Improbable across go-to-market, shared technical infrastructure, AI development, finance, HR, legal, and compliance, plus direct executive advisory. Otomato retains full ownership of its intellectual property and autonomy over its roadmap.
“We chose Improbable because they are builders that bring more than a passive check. From day one we have had hands‑on support on go‑to‑market, product, and scaling decisions from an executive team that has done this before. That is what moves a company like ours from 2,000 users to millions, and it is what made the decision easy. We look forward to building together as we scale Otomato,” said Clement Hecquet, CEO & Co‑Founder of Otomato.
The investment reflects Improbable’s commitment to backing companies that use emerging technologies to solve real customer problems. Improbable has delivered total exits of more than $179 million to date and in September 2025 supported the Somnia Foundation’s launch of a Layer 1 blockchain built on Improbable technology, which reached a peak valuation of $1.9 billion.
Otomato is among the first external ventures financed under this model.
