This acquisition marks another step in Evertrace’s ambitious growth strategy, following its recent purchases of Whisper AI and Seedpoint, and recently reaching the milestone of 100 investors using their tool. As the company consolidates its position as the go-to platform for early-stage investor discovery.

Morphais, founded by Eva-Valérie Gfrerer and Max Laemmle, has built a sophisticated data-driven platform that delivers curated batches of high-potential stealth founders and startups to venture capital funds, angels, and corporates. Using proprietary behavioral and market intelligence, Morphais helps investors cut through the noise and uncover exceptional talent before they hit the mainstream radar. The platform is already trusted by top global VC funds and service providers, making it a natural fit for Evertrace’s expanding ecosystem.

“We founded Morphais to make venture capital far more efficient and transparent, so the very best founders are surfaced irrespective of their background. Joining Evertrace allows us to combine our unique sourcing technology with Evertrace’s advanced features and founder signals. It will enhance the offering for our customers”

says Eva-Valérie Gfrerer, Co-founder of Morphais.

For Evertrace, the acquisition strengthens its data foundation and expands its signal intelligence, providing investors with unparalleled access to early-stage opportunities.

“The addition of Morphais further strengthens our data foundation and enhances the breadth and depth of the signals we deliver to customers,”

added Jakob Offersen, Co-founder of Evertrace.

Evertrace was born from a simple yet powerful idea: to help investors discover promising founders earlier and with greater precision. What started as a signaling tool for early-stage funds has evolved into a comprehensive sourcing platform, integrating detection, outreach, and monitoring into a single, seamless workflow.

“When we started selling on April 4th, 2024 – 80 weeks ago – we had a simple hypothesis: that software could do a better job sourcing startups and founders than humans could,”

said Simon Bøttkjær, co-founder

Traditionally, venture capital has relied on networking and serendipitous introductions to uncover deal flow. But as competition intensifies, funds are turning to technology-driven solutions to gain an edge. Evertrace’s platform uses advanced data analytics and AI to surface high-potential founders before they appear on the broader radar, enabling investors to act faster and with more confidence.

The company’s growth reflects this industry-wide transformation. Evertrace is now used by leading venture funds across Europe and beyond, including Creandum, Atomico, Cherry Ventures, Heartcore, ByFounders, and Antler. While adoption has been strongest in the Nordics, DACH, and Benelux regions, Evertrace is rapidly expanding into the UK, US, and Southern Europe.

Evertrace’s platform doesn’t just identify founders—it provides actionable insights that allow investors to monitor progress, engage proactively, and make informed decisions. By consolidating multiple steps of the sourcing process, the platform is streamlining workflows and reducing inefficiencies that have long plagued the industry.

Evertrace’s platform helps investors spot high-potential founders before they gain widespread attention. With the addition of Whisper AI, the company gains access to deeper company data, integrations with trade registries, and a strong presence in the DACH region—a key market for its European expansion.

“Whisper AI’s expertise in company registries and their established position in the DACH region provide us with unique data sources and a critical market foothold. Together, we can better surface the founders and companies investors need to know about—earlier than anyone else,”

said Jacob Graubæk Houlberg, Co-founder of Evertrace

For Whisper AI, the deal offers an opportunity to scale its mission of making company and registry data more accessible and actionable for VC investors.

“Joining Evertrace allows us to significantly expand our impact and contribute directly to building the leading sourcing engine for early-stage investors,”

said Nikolai Niklaus, founder of Whisper AI.

Whisper AI’s technology will be fully integrated into the Evertrace platform, providing customers with richer signals, faster updates, and broader geographic coverage. The combined capabilities will enable Evertrace to offer investors more precise and timely insights into emerging startups and founders.

A Strategic Step Toward European Leadership

Evertrace, founded in Denmark, uses machine learning and proprietary data signals to identify promising founders before they enter the mainstream. Whisper AI, based in Germany, specializes in advanced company data and registry integrations, with a strong focus on the DACH market (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland).

The acquisition aligns with Evertrace’s mission to become the go-to platform for venture capitalists seeking early-stage investment opportunities. By integrating Whisper AI’s data and technology, Evertrace aims to enhance its detection capabilities and provide investors with a competitive edge in discovering the next generation of startups.

As part of Signal’s strategy, the plan is to use the newly raised capital to boost growth and establish a presence among leading global players in the private equity and venture markets.

Especially artificial intelligence is currently creating A and B teams in venture funds and capital firms. Those with the best tools win the best deals and create the most value for their investors,”

says Jacob Graubæk Houlberg, co-founder of Signal.

With the newly raised capital, Signal plans to accelerate its growth and cement its position among the leading global players in the private equity and venture markets. The company’s strategic vision is to reach out to private equity and venture funds worldwide, building strong customer relationships and partnerships with funds and business angels on an international scale.
