Nexus, a Belgian agentic AI platform enabling enterprises to deploy autonomous agents, announced a €3.7 million ($4.3 million) Seed funding round scale its platform and accelerate enterprise adoption of production-ready AI agents.

The round was led by General Catalyst, with participation from Y Combinator, Transpose Platform, Twenty Two Ventures, Phosphor Capital, and other angel investors like Gokul Rajaram, Raphael Schaad and Jake Mintz.

“Enterprises don’t need another AI assistant, they need an AI agent that completes work reliably and delivers measurable results from the start,” says Assem Chammah, co-founder and CEO of Nexus. “We work side-by-side with teams to launch AI agents in weeks, with the guardrails they need, and tie outcomes directly to real business results.”

Comparable funding activity in the past year includes Wonderful, an Amsterdam-based company that secured €129.8 million to scale its enterprise AI agent platform; happyhotel, which raised €6.5 million to apply AI agents to hotel revenue management; and Blockbrain, which secured €17.5 million to advance enterprise-grade agent capabilities.

At a similar stage to Nexus, Toyo raised €3.6 million to develop secure AI agents for non-technical users, while Cognee (€7.5 million) and Rapidata (€7.2 million) highlight adjacent infrastructure layers supporting enterprise AI deployment.

In parallel, Elyos AI raised €11.1 million to automate customer-facing workflows.

Together, these rounds amount to approximately €180+ million in recent funding, indicating sustained investment across the enterprise AI agent stack.

Within this context, Nexus’s round is consistent with early-stage European entrants and stands out as one of the few Belgian companies operating in this segment, while broader activity remains concentrated in Germany, the UK, and the Netherlands.

“The Nexus platform understood our needs simply by describing them in plain language,” adds Tom Guisgand, AI Specialist at Orange. “Within days, we had a fully operational AI agent guiding customers through onboarding. Customer satisfaction increased by more than 10 points, and the quality and consistency of conversations improved significantly.”

Founded in 2024 by former McKinsey consultant Assem Chammah and AI engineer Shady Al Shoha, Nexus aims to help businesses move from AI experimentation to deployment. The platform enables non-technical teams to deploy agents, embedded with governance and compliance, that execute complete workflows end-to-end across CRM, ERP, Slack, Teams, and other core enterprise systems.

The platform pairs AI agent creation with white-glove implementation support from a dedicated engineering and enablement team, including hands-on integration, rollout support, training, and ongoing optimisation. It supports more than 4,000 integrations across enterprise systems and is built to meet regulatory compliance standards.

The company works with enterprises including Orange, a global telecommunications operator, that deployed a customer onboarding agent with Nexus in four weeks. Orange reportedly saw increased conversion rates by 50% and is generating more than €5 million ($6 million) in annual LTV with a single agent.

Nexus also works with AI infrastructure company Lambda.ai, to deploy agents across its sales and marketing functions, where a single agent saves hundreds to thousands of cumulative hours.

“AI agents are becoming core to how enterprises operate, but building them remains slow and technical. Nexus changes that by enabling any team to deploy production-ready agents in days, not months. Assem and Shady have built an incredibly intuitive yet powerful platform, and how quickly they’ve gone from idea to enterprise deployments stood out to us. Their early traction with customers like Orange Group and Proximus Global speaks to the strength of their enterprise motion,” says Yuri Sagalov, Managing Director at General Catalyst.
