Leuven-based AI-native applicant tracking system (ATS) and customer relationship management (CRM) platform, Spott, has raised €18.3 million ($21 million) in a Series A round led by Balderton Capital. The funding round follows a €2.8 million ($3.2 million) Seed round raised in March 2025. Spott's co-founders, Lander Degreve, Manu Vanderveeren, and Samuel Smeys, saw the need for an AI-native solution in recruitment after advising businesses at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG.
The company's platform aims to streamline recruitment processes by turning emails, CVs, and pipeline data into searchable and actionable intelligence, freeing recruiters to focus on building relationships with candidates and clients. The new funding will be used to expand into the US and APAC, develop enterprise features, and hire additional engineers to enhance agentic AI capabilities.
