• Talentir

  Participated · Seed · Jun 2026

  Talentir provides an end-to-end outbound payout system covering data collection, reconciliation, compliance, tax management, recipient onboarding, and payment issuance. The startup uses a stablecoin settlement backend to enable near-instant, lower-cost cross-border payouts and combines that with AI that operates within clients’ IT environments. Talentir also acts as a Merchant of Record, taking on legal and compliance responsibilities so clients can retain control of their brand and payee relationships. The company currently has six employees and processes daily payouts in the millions, and it plans to double headcount by the end of 2026. Short-term targets include reaching €100 million in annual payout volume, with a longer-term goal of €1 billion, and the new funding is earmarked for product and international expansion.

• Sensie

  Participated · Seed · Jun 2026

  Sensie develops a wireless plant health wearable, Sensie Omni, that captures direct physiological signals (growth, water status, stress and recovery) and combines them with root-zone and climate context to inform cultivation decisions. The device is designed to measure the interaction between Supply (root zone), Demand (micro-climate) and Response (plant stress) in a single wireless unit. Founded in 2025 by Olivier Begerem and Christophe Sysmans and based in Ghent, Sensie has begun initial greenhouse deployments and recently completed its public launch. The company aims to democratise plant intelligence for professional growers by making the plant’s own response measurable in real time. Sensie plans to use its new pre-Seed funding to optimise hardware and software, scale commercial rollouts, expand deployments, and onboard distributors, technology partners, and research collaborators.

• Exhibitly

  Led · Seed · May 2026

  Exhibitly offers an AI layer that personalises event websites by creating individualised "why attend" reports highlighting the most relevant sessions, speakers and exhibitors for each visitor. Visitors provide their job title and company and receive a personalised mini-website within seconds; the company reports that about 30% of those users click through to the registration page, a rate 10–20x higher than standard event sites. Founded in 2025 by Hendrik Franck and Brent Coppens, the startup signed 114 events in nine months, including major organisers such as Informa and the Dubai World Trade Centre, and serves clients across the UK, US, Middle East, Africa and Asia. Exhibitly has been cashflow positive from day one and currently plans to grow its team, further develop product features and roll out internationally. It is also building a second product aimed at the roughly 4.5 million companies that exhibit each year and targets supporting over 1,000 events by the end of 2027.

• Holmes

  Participated · Seed · May 2026

  Holmes is building an autonomous QA platform that learns how a product works and how users interact with it, then continuously generates and updates tests to verify critical user journeys. The platform is designed to reduce reliance on manually written and maintained test scripts and to keep pace with AI-driven software development. Holmes aims to address QA bottlenecks that slow release velocity as products and teams scale by automating test generation and maintenance. The company was founded by Robin Praet, Robbrecht Delrue, and Sofie Buyse and is based in Ghent. Holmes is working with an initial group of design partners and is supported by a group of experienced technology advisors. The recent €1.1M pre-seed raise will fund further product development, expansion of product and engineering teams, and the company’s broader rollout.

  Arca Digital offers an API-first platform that automates core pension plan operations—employee enrollment, contributions, withdrawals, and transfers—serving as infrastructure between pension fund managers, employers, and HR/payroll systems.

The founding team includes CEO Sergio Rodrigues Valcarce (formerly at Telefónica Ventures), Gonzalo Concepción Megía (ex-CoverManager backend engineer), and Adrián Esteban Pagés (former Risk Lead at Casavo Spain).
