Helmut Marko invests in AI start-up after Red Bull F1 exit

Former Red Bull motorsport adviser Helmut Marko, who departed from the company at the end of the 2023 season after a two-decade-long tenure, has now become an investor in an Austrian artificial intelligence start-up. The 83-year-old investor made the announcement at a launch event for Lebensstimmen GmbH, held at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Vienna on October 20th.

Lebensstimmen, based in Graz and operating globally under the name Words That Remain, offers a platform that enables individuals to record or write personal messages during their lifetime, which are then delivered to chosen recipients following the individual's death. The company's AI-driven eulogy tool, known as the Fabertar, is designed to assist when human speakers are not available.

Marko praised the company's approach to end-of-life planning, highlighting the company's commitment to leveraging new technologies for the betterment of people. Lebensstimmen GmbH, founded by Philipp Berkessy, Markus Pinter, and Lukas Stern, aims to launch its platform fully in Austria and internationally starting in the first quarter of 2027.
