Visiblie, a Belgian startup focused on helping businesses improve their visibility in AI-powered search engines, has raised €500,000 in convertible loan funding to accelerate its growth across Europe and prepare for international expansion.
The round was led by Seeder Fund, with participation from BeAngels and angel investor Steven Tielemans. The pre-seed funding will support the company’s expansion within the SME market and its plans for broader international growth, including a targeted seed round focused on the US market.
Addressing a New Search Landscape
Founded in 2023, Visiblie operates at the intersection of artificial intelligence and digital visibility. As AI-powered search capabilities increasingly influence how businesses reach potential customers, the startup has developed a platform designed to help companies understand and optimize their presence within these emerging search models.
The company distinguishes itself through its approach to data collection and analysis. Rather than offering generic visibility tracking tools, Visiblie builds industry-specific AI datasets tailored to regulated sectors such as finance and insurance, where visibility strategies must account for sector-specific requirements and constraints.
“Anyone can build a tracking dashboard. The difference is in the data. We build a unique dataset that better reflects how AI search models work across different industries,” said Gilles Praet, Co-founder of Visiblie.
Strategic Use of Capital
The €500,000 investment arrives at a critical moment as businesses increasingly recognize the importance of visibility within AI search systems. The funding will enable Visiblie to deepen its presence among small and medium-sized enterprises across Europe while simultaneously preparing infrastructure and market strategies for expansion beyond the continent.
The company’s focus on regulated industries positions it within a growing segment of the European startup ecosystem. As AI becomes more integrated into business operations, startups addressing compliance and visibility challenges in heavily regulated sectors have demonstrated strong investor appeal.
European Innovation Momentum
Visiblie’s funding announcement reflects continued confidence in European AI and machine learning startups, particularly those addressing practical business challenges. The Belgian startup ecosystem has developed increasing strengths in AI-powered solutions, with investors from the region demonstrating willingness to back early-stage ventures tackling emerging opportunities in AI-driven markets.
The involvement of Seeder Fund and BeAngels underscores broader patterns within European angel and pre-seed funding, where investors have shown growing interest in startups that help other businesses adapt to AI-driven changes. As the visibility landscape continues to evolve alongside advances in AI search technology, platforms enabling businesses to navigate this transition are likely to attract further investor attention.
With plans for both European expansion and an eventual US-focused funding round, Visiblie represents the type of cross-border growth trajectory increasingly common among European startups addressing global market opportunities in the AI space.
