ARC Intelligence has secured €4 million in seed funding, led by 42CAP, with 468 Capital and IBB Ventures also participating.

In just 18 months, the Berlin-based startup shifted from offering a data tool for SMEs to building a finance operating system aimed at CFOs.

The company has grown its revenue tenfold since its December 2024 pre-seed round. This year, it plans to do the same.

Most seed rounds take months of pitching, follow-up calls, and diligence before a term sheet lands. ARC Intelligence took about a week.

The Berlin-based startup, founded in 2023 by CEO Clemens Wessendorff and CTO Simon Zimmermann, builds an AI layer that connects a company’s scattered ERP systems into a single data model. It has now closed a €4 million seed round led by 42CAP, with existing investors 468 Capital and IBB Ventures returning.
