Ravical closes $17m seed round to scale AI across accounting firm client bases
The Ghent- and London-based startup already serves 100-plus European firms and is now pointing at the US.
Ravical closed a $17m seed round on 30 October, with MMC Ventures leading and existing backers Lakestar and Pitchdrive rejoining alongside new investor Shapers, FinTech Global reports. The capital is earmarked for deeper coverage in the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, a broader European push, and a US launch. The company was founded in 2025 by Joris Van Der Gucht - who previously co-founded Silverfin, a cloud platform now used by more than 1,000 accounting firms in 18 countries - and AI specialists Ken Bastiaensen and Benjamin Vandermarliere.

The platform's central proposition is organisational rather than individual. As the FinTech Global article puts it, Ravical captures the working methods of a firm's top performers and turns them into a shared approach that AI then applies across the entire client base - so the benefit accrues at the firm level rather than staying with whichever employee happens to use AI most. That framing is a direct response to a pattern Ravical identifies: firms worried about being cut out of client decisions have a reason to look at tools that keep the firm's expertise in the loop.
MMC Ventures general partner Mina Samaan framed the investment around firm-wide process rather than isolated tasks, noting that more than 100 firms are already on the platform as the clearest sign yet that the profession is starting to change, per the FinTech Global report. Pricing is not disclosed in the announcement. US availability is planned but not yet live, so firms outside Europe should treat the product as a pipeline item for now rather than something to schedule a demo on today.
BEFORE A DEMO
| Confirm whether your geography (UK, EU vs. US) is live before requesting a demo - US launch is planned, not current. | |
| Ask how the platform ingests and standardises top-performer workflows across your existing tech stack before committing. | |
| Pricing is not publicly disclosed; get a formal quote early so it can sit alongside your other tool costs. |
It's time to set up your holiday streaming campaign
Are you ready to reach holiday shoppers on CTV? For many streamers, the season is already underway.
Last year, according to Roku internal data, holiday content searches on Roku saw an 86% increase during October. And in November, those searches rise an average of 39% weekly. This surging holiday spirit is mirrored by consumer activity, as about half of Roku streamers shopped Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals in 2025.
Meeting those shoppers is easier than you might think. Begin with the seasonal outcome you hope to drive: awareness, online sales, leads, store visits, or another measurable goal. From there, define your audience, upload your creative, set the budget and campaign dates, and establish measurement before launching. You can even create a shoppable ad unit that lets streamers buy with a click of their remote.
Our holiday playbook offers a month-by-month guide to reaching shoppers during this all-important time of year.

Not yet. FinTech Global reports the capital will fund a US launch, but the company currently serves 100-plus firms in Europe. US availability is a stated plan, not a current offering.

Joris Van Der Gucht, who previously co-founded Silverfin - a cloud platform now used by over 1,000 accounting firms in 18 countries, per FinTech Global - along with AI specialists Ken Bastiaensen and Benjamin Vandermarliere, founded the company in 2025.
