Big news at Trendtracker. Our team announced today a successful 7 million dollar Series A round. A significant milestone in our ambition to build the next generation of strategic intelligence. This is also a personal moment for me. Almost two years ago, I joined the company, passionate about the vision and working as an advisor. Today, I serve as Chief Product and Operating Officer. My background in product development, innovation management, and building companies comes together here, and my executive PhD on AI driven SaaS for strategic intelligence aligns closely with what we build every day. Why I believe so strongly in this. From Ghent, we are building an international player that strengthens, accelerates, and automates strategic analysis with human in the loop capabilities. Trendtracker is developing a virtual AI strategy analyst who continuously scans, interprets, and translates quantitative trends into clear strategic insights. This product vision is a core engine of our international growth and helps global organizations make faster and better decisions. A sincere thank you to Vincent Defour as CEO and Mathias Colpaert as CTO for their trust and collaboration in leadership. Thanks as well to Capricorn Partners for their early support and to Armilar, our new investor who has fully embraced our growth story. I am also incredibly grateful to our team with deep expertise in AI, big data, platform development, sales, and foresight. Your work is the real driving force behind this achievement. We are only just getting started. In the coming years, I want to turn this vision into reality by building an international company that makes a lasting impact on how organizations shape strategy. On to the next phase! #SeriesA #SaaS #AI #StrategicIntelligence #TechScaleup #GhentTech #Innovation
