Copenhagen-based startup Evertrace has acquired German firm Whisper AI in a move aimed at expanding its presence across Europe. Evertrace develops a machine learning–based platform that provides venture capital investors with early signals on emerging founders and startups. Whisper AI brings expertise in company registry data and an established position in the DACH region, which is considered a key market for European venture activity. Through the acquisition, Evertrace will integrate Whisper AI’s technology into its platform, broadening geographic coverage and improving the depth and speed of company data available to investors.
Founded in 2024, Evertrace develops a data platform for early-stage venture capital investors. The company uses machine learning and aggregated signals from multiple sources to identify emerging founders and startups at an earlier stage than traditional methods allow. Its technology is designed to reduce noise in data, improve timing in deal sourcing, and expand visibility across different markets. Evertrace is currently used by more than 70 venture capital firms worldwide.
“Whisper AI’s expertise in company registries and their position in the DACH region give us access to a unique set of data sources and a crucial market. Together, we can strengthen our ability to surface the founders and companies investors need to know about – earlier than anyone else,” said Jacob Graubæk Houlberg, Co-founder at Evertrace.
For Whisper AI, the deal represents a chance to scale its mission further:
“We founded Whisper AI to make company and registry data more accessible and actionable to VC investors. Becoming part of Evertrace allows us to scale that mission significantly – and directly contribute to building the leading sourcing engine for early stage investors,” said Nikolai Niklaus, founder of Whisper AI.
Whisper AI’s technology will now be fully integrated into the Evertrace platform, giving customers richer signals, faster updates, and wider geographic coverage. Evertrace was founded in Denmark and uses machine learning and unique data signals to identify promising founders earlier than anyone else. Whisper AI, based in Germany, specializes in advanced company data and registry integrations, with a strong focus on the DACH market.
