Belgian AI startup Eagl has raised €825,000 in funding to expand its engineering team, scale operations across Europe, and accelerate development of its AI-native financial agent platform. The platform integrates directly with ERP and accounting systems, automating workflows, continuously monitoring data quality, and resolving anomalies in real time, giving finance teams faster, cleaner, and more accurate insights.
Funding and Backers
The funding round was led by Syndicate One and CNBB Equity Partners, with participation from SaaS founders including Matthias Geeroms (Lighthouse), Joris Van Der Gucht (Silverfin, Ravical), Jeroen De Wit (Teamleader), and others. The support from experienced SaaS operators underscores confidence in Eagl’s vision to transform finance workflows across Europe.
Solving a Major Finance Bottleneck
“Most finance teams are stretched thin, fixing problems instead of adding real value,” said Samuel Van Innis, co-founder and CEO of Eagl. “Eagl turns days of manual checking into instant insights, empowering finance leaders to focus on strategic topics while auditors get cleaner books.”
Eagl automates accounting and controlling processes, continuously monitors financial data, and applies business context to resolve anomalies. This reduces errors, speeds up month-end closes, and shortens audit cycles. Frederik Bakx, co-founder and CFO, emphasized: “Finance teams can close faster, scale efficiently, and cut down the time and stress of audits.”
AI-Native, Context-Aware Platform
Unlike legacy accounting tools that mainly track tasks, Eagl is AI-native from the ground up. Its platform not only automates repetitive workflows but also understands business context, continuously validating and enriching financial data. By plugging directly into a CFO’s stack, Eagl ensures structured, accurate books and generates actionable reports, freeing finance teams to focus on analysis rather than manual reconciliation.
Industry Validation
Matthias Geeroms, founder of Belgian unicorn Lighthouse, said: “Eagl is tackling one of the most frustrating bottlenecks in finance with technology that actually understands business context. That’s why many in the SaaS ecosystem believe it will fundamentally change how finance teams operate.”
Founded in April 2025 by Samuel Van Innis, Benoit Baervoets, Brecht Carnewal, and Frederik Bakx, Eagl brings together operators with deep experience in SaaS and finance technology, including Henchman, Rydoo, and Lighthouse. With this funding, the company plans to accelerate product development, scale its platform across Europe, and expand its engineering team to meet growing demand.
