Sequesto Raises € 2.5 Million in Growth Capital

Sequesto, the Belgian scale-up redefining the way companies respond to tenders, RFIs, and RFPs, led by Patrick Dalvinck and Evrard t’Serstevens, has raised  €2.5 million from Smartfin and Newion. With this investment, SEQUESTO will accelerate international growth and strengthen its position as the leading AI-driven RFP response platform.

SEQUESTO leverages an AI-first, agentic workflow platform to automate nearly all repetitive and error-prone tasks across the RFx cycle, significantly improving efficiency and win rates for tender teams. As tenders grow in number and complexity, the global RFP optimization market is expanding rapidly, yet most organizations still rely on manual, time-consuming processes with high costs and low success rates, underscoring the urgent need for SEQUESTO’s solution.

SEQUESTO is redefining the RFx process with advanced AI, moving beyond incremental improvements from legacy players like Loopio and Responsive. Its platform reduces content costs, accelerates time-to-value, and boosts win ratios on complex bids. Founded in 2020 in Belgium, the company has expanded across Europe and the US, serving SaaS scale-ups and regulated enterprises such as ISS Facility Services, ooDrive, and Barona.
