Total funding rises to €5 million in nine months

Amsterdam, The Netherlands, May 13, 2025 – Lleverage, the AI platform that enables any company to automate processes without the need for developers, has raised a €3 million funding from tech investor Peak. The platform, launched less than 10 months ago, secured a €2 million pre-seed round in July 2024. With this latest investment, Lleverage advances its mission to become Europe’s leading AI-driven automation platform for businesses.

Lleverage anticipates that demand for traditional developers will undergo a radical shift within the next five years. As a frontrunner 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 not only drastically reduces the time needed but also significantly lowers the financial investment. As a result, Lleverage is making tailored AI-driven automation accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

“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.”

“Vibe automation”
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 successfully automated entire business processes, ranging from converting market research data into actionable insights to analyzing documents for due diligence in mergers and acquisitions. Automation is built using natural language, with processes visualized 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 in seconds—without technical barriers—Lleverage enables organizations to reclaim up to 80 percent of their working time for creativity, strategy, and meaningful human interaction.

€5 million funding
The company is less than a year old, yet it has already secured €5 million in funding. The latest investor, Peak, is contributing €3 million. Known for spotting early-stage European startups with global potential, Peak sees Lleverage as a standout in the emerging AI automation landscape.

With the new funding, Lleverage will accelerate the development of its platform. To support this growth, the company is seeking talented and ambitious professionals eager to build at full speed. 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.”
