”Agentic AI is where there's autonomy that also goes into decision-making. There are multiple steps. It doesn't do one function, one output. It would do an input, take the output, use that output as an input to another mechanism, do its own AI evals along the process to see whether the prompt that the agent gave was actually correct, and send the result- satisfied or not- only to reconfigure and put it back in”, thinks Enis Hulli, the General Partner of one of the most active early-stage backers of AI companies, e2vc.

Read in the extended interview linked in the comments why Enis thinks 👾 agentic AI isn't a moat in itself, but a necessity.

Veridion (formerly known as Soleadify), a Bucharest-based business intelligence startup, has raised €17.5 million ($20 million) in Series A funding to

16/09/2026

Back in February 2023, we backed Veridion at seed. We've been keeping an eye on what Florin, Sorina, and Mihai were building for years, from back when Soleadify was a self-service, automated B2B lead generation tool and reached the How to Web Spotlight Semifinals in 2019. In the following years, they switched to 📊 enterprise data, with a self-updating global database of businesses, and rebranded to Veridion from the Latin "veris", meaning "true". They were aiming to build the truest, most up-to-date digital replica of the world's 640 million businesses.

Today, we're proud to continue to back Veridion in their $20M Series A, alongside Hoxton Ventures and existing investors OTB Ventures, GapMinder VC, Day One Capital, and LAUNCHub Ventures. Veridion's technology can now deliver market intelligence up to 52 times faster than traditional sources and covers more than 30 times more businesses around the globe, giving organisations a 📑 real-time understanding of how geopolitical crises, market shocks and commercial disruption are reshaping the global economy. Partners include Experian, which relies on Veridion's data to improve decision-making and gain deeper visibility of the private company universe.

The round will allow Veridion to expand its engineering team and accelerate growth across the enterprise sector, both in Europe and the US.

Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey! Congratulations to Florin, Sorina, Mihai, Ștefan, and the whole Veridion team.

Bogdan: "Veridion built a truly impressive technology with a real-life business impact, and we're happy to further support their incredible work."
