Summary
Goodweek, a Los Angeles-headquartered French startup founded in Strasbourg and incubated at Station F in Paris, has raised a €10.69 million ($12 million) Seed round, according to EU-Startups. The round was led by Spanish venture capital firm Adara Ventures. Other participants included Anamcara Capital, BGV, BY Venture Partners, CentraleSupélec Venture, FJ Labs, Interlace Ventures, True Ventures and Bpifrance.
Adara Ventures previously backed co-founder Nicolas Stehle at Scalefast, which was sold in 2022. Nico Goulet, Founding Partner at Adara Ventures, described the investment as a reunion and said that backing a founder a second time is one of the clearest signals of conviction an investor can give. Goodweek was founded by Stehle and Guillaume Nominé, who serves as CEO. Nominé previously founded Atolia, a collaboration solution sold to JustCall in 2022. Both co-founders studied computer science at ENSIIE.
The company positions itself as a single AI management layer for SMBs. Its core problem statement is that employees often adopt AI tools without IT approval, leading to personal accounts, confidential data leaving the company and duplicate subscriptions. Goodweek's platform brings together models including Anthropic's Claude, OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Mistral, while keeping company data isolated and stating that it is never used to train third-party models. The company says the platform shows business leaders who is using which AI tools and at what cost, a metric the company describes as difficult to track.
The funding comes days after the company's first anniversary. Goodweek reports 50 employees across three countries and nearly 150 customers in France, Spain, the United Kingdom, the Benelux and North America. The capital will be used to scale sales operations and expand into new international markets, including Latin America and Asia.
