Trendtracker Secures $7M in Series A Funding to Scale its AI-Powered Strategic Intelligence Platform for Global Enterprises

Trendtracker, predictive intelligence that turns trends into strategy, led by Vincent Defour, Mathias Colpaert, Valentijn Destoop, and others, has secured $7 million Series A funding round led by Armilar, with participation from existing investor Capricorn Partners. The investment accelerates Trendtracker’s mission to deliver an autonomous AI strategy and foresight analyst that streamlines strategic research, planning, and decision support for organizations.

Pedro Ribeiro Santos, Managing Partner at Armilar, noted that Trendtracker is bringing essential clarity to an environment where decision-makers face overwhelming noise. The company’s AI-powered approach to strategic intelligence is already gaining traction with global enterprises. He added that Armilar is excited to support Vincent and Mathias through the first investment of its new Fund IV, which focuses on exceptional European teams building products with global reach.

In an environment defined by constant change and accelerating data overload, traditional strategy cycles have become insufficient. Leadership now requires continuous visibility into emerging trends that present risks and opportunities across political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental domains.

Trendtracker delivers an always-on, AI-powered strategic intelligence engine that monitors global signals, interprets context, and connects developments directly to strategic impact. This approach enables organizations and governments to act more quickly, make better decisions, and stay ahead of disruption.

Marc Lambrechts, Investment Director at Capricorn Partners, stated that Capricorn Partners is a proud seed investor in Trendtracker and highlighted how the team has transformed the initial offering into a scalable SaaS solution adopted by top-tier clients worldwide.

Vincent Defour, CEO of Trendtracker, stated that the company’s vision is to redefine how strategy, risk, insights, innovation, and foresight teams operate. The approach centers on AI that quantifies change in depth, understands context, adapts continuously, and reasons causally. Rather than relying solely on historical patterns, the technology actively models strategic recommendations and generates forward-looking insights for businesses. It serves as a strategic sparring partner, strengthening leadership judgment without replacing it.

Founded in 2019, Trendtracker has evolved from a local AI startup into a globally active tech scale-up, trusted by leading international companies, government agencies, and consulting firms to enhance strategic agility. Its award-winning AI supports teams across organizations such as Siemens, PepsiCo, P&G, PwC, Arthur D. Little, and Ageas.

At the core of Trendtracker’s platform lies a predictive architecture supported by a coordinated system of AI agents that continuously detect, score, forecast, and interpret emerging trends by quantifying and explaining various impact KPIs. With deep contextual understanding, these agents deliver deterministic, explainable, and transparent strategic intelligence to leaders, accessible 24/7.

With a global customer base, Trendtracker will deploy the new capital to:

• Enhance its AI Analyst architecture by expanding multi-agent orchestration systems that automatically map organizational environments, analyze uncertainty drivers, generate scenario-based forecasts, and recommend prescriptive strategic actions with clear rationale.

• Accelerate expansion into the US and Middle East markets through strategic partnerships and local presence.

• Strengthen integrations and alliances with consulting firms, strategy and innovation platforms, global data providers, enterprise partners, and government organizations.

• Scale the hybrid team by adding senior talent in AI, foresight, engineering, and commercial leadership.
