Belgium-based AI software startup Ravical has raised $17 million in a seed funding round led by MMC Ventures, with participation from existing investors Lakestar and Pitchdrive, alongside new investor Shapers.
The funding brings Ravical’s total capital raised to $25 million.
Founded in 2025 by Joris Van Der Gucht (CEO), Ken Bastiaensen (CTO), and Benjamin Vandermarliere (CPO), Ravical is headquartered in Ghent, Belgium, with operations in London, UK. Van Der Gucht previously co-founded Silverfin, a cloud-based accounting software company.
Ravical develops an AI platform that helps accounting and tax firms apply their internal expertise consistently across their client base. The software converts professional knowledge and established working practices into AI-driven workflows, allowing firms to automate routine activities, support advisory services, and identify opportunities across existing client relationships.
The platform works with firms’ existing systems and data to support accounting reviews, client analysis, and advisory processes. According to the company, more than 100 accounting firms across Europe use its technology.
Ravical plans to use the new funding to strengthen its presence in the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany, while expanding into additional European markets and entering the US. The investment will also support product development and team expansion.
The financing follows Ravical’s €7.3 million pre-seed round announced in May 2025, which was led by Lakestar.
