Lleverage is a technology company.
Lleverage provides an AI platform to automate complex business processes without developer expertise. Its core technology allows business experts to create automated workflows using natural language, termed "vibe automation." This approach simplifies operational automation, integrating with thousands of existing tools, making sophisticated AI accessible for enterprises.
Lleverage launched in late 2023, co-founded by CEO Lennard Kooy, securing initial funding by July 2024. The founders identified a market gap: non-technical users struggled to apply AI for process automation. Their insight was to empower business experts directly, leveraging collective experience from building and scaling international companies.
The platform serves diverse enterprises in manufacturing, logistics, and finance, enhancing efficiency. Lleverage aims to become Europe's leading AI-driven automation platform, democratizing advanced AI for SMEs globally. Its vision is to redirect human effort towards strategic and creative tasks, fundamentally reshaping work.

Lleverage is an Amsterdam-based AI startup that provides a visual AI automation platform for building and deploying complex workflows without coding.[1][2][3] It serves businesses and teams lacking in-house AI expertise, solving inefficiencies in reasoning-intensive tasks like document processing, custom chatbots, predictive analytics, and data transformation by enabling "vibe automation" via natural language and visual interfaces.[1][2][5] With €5 million in total funding—including a €2 million pre-seed in July 2024 and €3 million from Peak in May 2025—the company demonstrates strong growth momentum, already powering automations for clients like Visma, Koninklijke Dekker, and insurer CCS, reclaiming up to 80% of employee time for strategic work.[2][3]
The platform operates on a tiered SaaS model with over 2,000 integrations (e.g., Google Workspace, Microsoft, HubSpot, Slack) and enterprise-grade security, targeting SMEs and larger firms in traditional industries to automate end-to-end processes like invoice handling, quote generation, and production planning.[1][3][5]
Lleverage was founded by Lennard Kooy (CEO) and Tim Beyer (COO), who left stable roles after experiencing firsthand how companies struggled to implement AI despite hype, particularly in essential industries left behind by tech advancements.[4] Launched less than a year before May 2025, the idea emerged from their frustration with the gap between AI potential and practical adoption, aiming to empower non-technical users to automate sophisticated tasks.[2][3][4]
Early traction came swiftly: a €2 million pre-seed round in July 2024 fueled initial development, followed by real-world applications for clients automating market research insights and M&A due diligence.[2][3] By May 2025, a €3 million investment from Peak accelerated platform growth, positioning Lleverage as Europe's frontrunner in AI-driven automation.[3]
Lleverage rides the AI agent and no-code automation wave, capitalizing on maturing LLMs to democratize complex reasoning tasks amid developer shortages and rising AI adoption in traditional sectors.[2][3][4] Timing is ideal post-2024 AI boom, as SMEs demand affordable alternatives to custom dev teams, with Lleverage predicting a "radical shift" in developer needs within five years by making elite AI accessible.[3]
Market forces like labor cost pressures and integration fatigue favor its 2,000+ connector ecosystem, influencing the ecosystem by onboarding non-tech industries (e.g., insurance, manufacturing) to AI, fostering broader innovation while competing with Silicon Valley giants through Europe-built sovereignty and elite talent focus.[2][3][6]
Lleverage is primed to scale as Europe's AI automation leader, leveraging €5M funding to enhance "vibe automation" and global integrations, targeting enterprise expansion beyond early clients.[3] Trends like multimodal AI and agentic workflows will amplify its edge, potentially disrupting no-code rivals by emphasizing visual, human-centric tools that prioritize strategic human roles.[4]
Its influence may evolve from SME enabler to industry standard-setter, as AI maturity unlocks endless workflows in overlooked sectors—echoing its origins in bridging hype to real value, and positioning it to reclaim operational time across Europe and beyond.[2][4]
Lleverage has raised $8.7M in total across 3 funding rounds.
