Summary
Copenhagen-based Evertrace has acquired Veck, a startup discovery platform designed for early-stage venture capital investors, according to the BeBeez International report. Financial terms were not disclosed. The transaction is intended to expand Evertrace's capacity to identify founders and companies before they become publicly visible.
Evertrace operates a founder detection platform that aggregates and analyses signals from multiple data sources to help investment firms identify emerging founders and startups, including companies that have not yet launched publicly. The company says it works with more than 300 venture capital funds worldwide. Veck combines information on founder and company activity with investor-interest signals and human review to surface startups beyond investors' existing networks.
Following the acquisition, Veck's technology and investor-attention data will be integrated into Evertrace's detection infrastructure, and all Veck customers will move to the Evertrace platform. Evertrace co-founder Jacob Graubæk Houlberg said Veck's technology "complements our detection engine and strengthens our ability to identify founders at the earliest stages." Co-founder Simon Bøttkjær said investor interest can be an early signal that someone is building something new, and that Veck "strengthens that capability."
Veck CEO Igor Studennikov said the company was built to help investors discover startups and founders they might otherwise miss, and that Evertrace "shares our focus on early discovery, making it a natural home for what we've built."
The deal is Evertrace's fourth acquisition, after Whisper AI, Seedpoint and Morphais. The company continues to combine complementary technologies and data sources to strengthen its founder detection capabilities for venture capital investors.
