Danish AI startup Velatir has raised €5 million in seed funding to accelerate its European expansion, scale its team, and meet growing customer demand for its AI infrastructure platform, as Vestbee was informed.
- Established in 2026 by Michael Sørensen, Elias Sørensen, Christian Møller, and Andreas Paulli, Velatir develops an infrastructure layer designed to help companies securely adopt and control AI across their organizations.
- Its platform provides real-time visibility into AI usage, data flows, costs, and AI maturity, while enabling companies to enforce controls and guardrails across employees, devices, vendors, and AI agents.
- Velatir also offers an AI App Store with more than 4,000 AI tools, helping companies discover and manage the growing range of AI applications available to their employees.
- The company says its platform is built entirely on European-owned and hosted infrastructure, avoiding reliance on US hyperscalers and positioning data sovereignty and resilience as core parts of its offering.

- The round was co-led by Spintop Ventures and Ugly Duckling Ventures, with participation from Norrsken Evolve, angel investors Jan Oberhauser and Thomas Visti, while EIFO joined through a matching loan.
“As AI reshapes enterprise software, secure digital foundations are becoming essential for companies to adopt it safely and at scale. Velatir combines a clear vision for that future with exceptional execution and traction, giving them the potential to define a new category in enterprise AI," explains Helen Agering, Partner at Spintop Ventures.
