Velatir, a Danish AI infrastructure startup that helps organisations gain visibility and control over how artificial intelligence is used across their workforce, has reportedly raised €5m in seed funding.
The round was co-led by Nordic venture capital firm Spintop Ventures and Danish investor Ugly Duckling Ventures, according to a report from Sifted.
Existing backer Norrsken Evolve returned for the round, joined by new individual investors Jan Oberhauser, chief executive of n8n, and Thomas Visti, former chief executive of Universal Robots. Denmark’s state-backed Export and Investment Fund of Denmark also participated.
The fresh capital will support Velatir’s expansion across the continent, with a new office due to open in Stockholm on 1 October and further locations planned on a quarterly basis through to the end of 2027. The company expects its next base to be Paris, citing existing demand from French customers.
Velatir positions itself as infrastructure that removes the friction stopping companies from scaling AI use beyond isolated pilots. Rather than functioning as another policy document, the platform is designed to sit directly within day-to-day workflows, giving leadership teams full sight of how AI tools are being used while guiding employees to use them more effectively. The company says its technology is built and hosted in Europe, holds ISO 27001 certification and can be deployed within minutes.
The platform is delivered through a set of specialised agents that monitor interactions, safeguard sensitive data and provide oversight across every workspace an organisation runs.
One capability logs and anonymises every AI interaction across a business into a single dashboard, distinguishing between free and paid tool usage so that leadership can see where costs are being generated, consolidate overlapping subscriptions and direct budget towards the tools teams genuinely rely on.
One agent, Gatekeeper, gives administrators a single point of control over which AI services staff can access, covering both officially sanctioned tools and those that emerge informally. A further agent, Data Protector, is designed to intercept sensitive information before it can be shared with external AI tools.
