Copenhagen-based Evertrace, the founder detection platform serving more than 300 venture capital funds worldwide, has acquired Veck, a platform helping early-stage investors discover emerging startups and founders. All Veck customers are moving to Evertrace, and financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Veck built a product combining founder activity, emerging company signals, and investor attention with human review, helping early-stage funds discover founders beyond their existing networks, often before their companies became widely visible.
“We built Veck to help investors discover startups and founders they might otherwise miss. We’re proud of the product we created and grateful to the customers who helped shape it. Evertrace shares our focus on early discovery, making it a natural home for what we’ve built,”
said Igor Studennikov, CEO of Veck.
Particularly its investor-interest capabilities are relevant to Evertrace’s mission: a founder can begin attracting attention from investors before publicly announcing what they are building, and detecting that interest gives Evertrace another way to identify emerging founders while their companies are still under the radar.
“Investor interest can be an early signal that someone is building something new. Spotting founders as they start gaining that attention, often before they publicly launch, fits directly into what we do. Veck strengthens that capability, and we’re excited to welcome its customers to Evertrace,”
said Simon Bøttkjær, co-founder of Evertrace.
Veck is Evertrace’s fourth acquisition, following Whisper AI, Seedpoint, and Morphais. The acquisitions support its strategy of bringing complementary technologies and data sources together to build a stronger founder detection engine for venture capital investors.
“Igor and the team built a thoughtful approach to finding useful signals in scattered activity. Combining those capabilities with our existing infrastructure gives us more ways to detect founders early and helps us connect signals that might otherwise be missed,”
said Jakob V. Offersen, co-founder of Evertrace.
