Amsterdam-based AI startup Lleverage raises €3 million for “vibe automation” processes

Lleverage, a Dutch AI platform that enables companies to automate processes without the need for developers, has raised a €3 million funding round from tech investor Peak to accelerate the development of its platform.

The platform secured a €2 million pre-Seed round in July 2024. With this latest investment, Lleverage continues its mission to become Europe’s leading AI-driven automation platform for businesses.

“We take a fundamentally different approach compared to other AI platforms,” says Lennard Kooy, Co-founder and CEO of Lleverage. “Rather than focusing on the technology itself, we concentrate on the underlying challenge: enabling business experts to automate their knowledge without getting lost in technical complexity. With Lleverage, describing the problem is all it takes to begin solving it.”

Founded in 2024 by Dutch entrepreneurs Lennard Kooy, Badr Eddial, Tom van Wees, and Tim Beyer, Lleverage’s mission is to make powerful automation accessible to all, freeing teams to focus on what humans do best: create, strategise, and connect.

Lleverage anticipates that demand for traditional developers will undergo a radical shift within the next five years. As a player in AI innovation, the platform enables companies to build complex technical solutions using natural language—tasks that previously required an entire team of developers. This approach has the potential to not only drastically reduce the time needed but also significantly lower the financial investment.

The first applications of the Lleverage platform have been developed by companies such as Visma, Koninklijke Dekker, and insurer CCS. Using Lleverage, these clients have reportedly successfully automated entire business processes, ranging from converting market research data into actionable insights to analysing documents for due diligence in mergers and acquisitions.

Automation is built using natural language, with processes visualised instantly. Lleverage refers to this as “vibe automation”.

The platform offers over 2,000 integrations, including Google Workspace, Microsoft, HubSpot, and Slack. By automating complex workflows, Lleverage reportedly enables organisations to reclaim up to 80% of their working time for creativity, strategy, and meaningful human interaction.

With the new funding, Lleverage will accelerate the development of its platform. Aiming to compete globally with leading players from Silicon Valley and Asia, Lleverage is focused exclusively on the top 1% of talent—those who want to be at the forefront of AI technology and help shape the future of automation.

“Lleverage meets all the criteria for a major new European tech innovation,” said Thijs Dijkman, partner at Peak. “The Founders bring impressive experience, having collectively built and scaled companies across more than 10 countries, generating nearly €100 million in annual revenue. With a clear vision for accessible AI automation, Lleverage demonstrates what Dutch innovation can achieve by setting bold ambitions while solving real business problems at scale.”
