Amsterdam's Lleverage Raises €3 Million for AI Automation Expansion
Amsterdam, Tuesday, 13 May 2025.
Dutch startup Lleverage secures €3 million from Peak to enhance AI automation, aiming to simplify business workflows using natural language. This funding supports Lleverage’s ambition to lead Europe’s AI-driven market.
Rapid Growth and Investment Success
Amsterdam-based Lleverage has demonstrated remarkable growth since its founding in 2024, securing a total of €5 million in funding within just nine months [1]. The company previously raised €2 million in a pre-seed round in July 2024, and this latest €3 million seed investment from Peak represents significant investor confidence in their AI automation solution [2][3].
Revolutionary Approach to Business Automation
Lleverage’s platform stands out through its innovative ‘vibe automation’ approach, integrating with over 2,000 tools including Google Workspace, Microsoft, HubSpot, and Slack [4]. The technology enables business experts to automate complex processes using natural language instead of code, potentially freeing up to 80% of time for high-impact work [1]. Founded by Lennard Kooy, Badr Eddial, Tim Beyer, and Tom van Wees, the company has already attracted notable clients including Visma, Koninklijke Dekker, and CCS [2].
Strategic Market Positioning
This funding comes at a strategic time in the AI investment landscape, as global venture capital investment in AI-first companies reached US$110 billion in 2024 [5]. The investment aligns with an industry-wide shift toward application-layer investments, focusing on tools that directly impact business workflows and efficiency [5]. Peak Capital, with offices in Amsterdam, Berlin, and Stockholm, sees Lleverage as a prime example of Dutch innovation scaling to solve real business problems [3].
Future Growth and Expansion Plans
With the new funding, Lleverage aims to accelerate its platform development and compete globally with firms from Silicon Valley and Asia [2]. The company is actively recruiting top talent, specifically targeting the top 1% of professionals in AI technology [3]. The founders’ track record of building and scaling companies across more than 10 countries, generating nearly €100 million in annual revenue, positions them well for this ambitious expansion [1].
