Copenhagen-based startup Evertrace, which uses data and AI to help VCs source and screen investment opportunities, has acquired a Berlin-based peer specialising in helping VCs with early-stage deal sourcing.
Morphais calls itself a “data intelligence company”, which leverages data to help VCs, angel investors and family offices find and access seed and pre-seed startups and founders as early as possible.
Launched in early 2024, Evertrace's platform “assists venture funds in obtaining real-time, better data on potential investments, candidates, and competitors”.
Evertrace aggregates tools like company registers and GitHub patents to help investors identify top early talent.
Evertrace says its platform is used by over 100 funds, including Antler, Cherry Ventures and Heartcore Capital.
The seven-strong team of Morphais, which is used by "many of the top global VC funds" and which was founded by Eva-Valérie Gfrerer and Max Laemmle, will join Evertrace. Financial details of the deal have not been disclosed.
Evertrace said Morphais "delivers curated batches of high-potential companies and stealth founders, powered by proprietary behavioural and market intelligence".
The acquisition marks Evertrace's third acquisition, following that of Whisper AI and Seedpoint.
Jacob Houlberg, co-founder of Evertrace, said: “This acquisition is a key component in our overall strategy, and will enable us to further improve our core offering."
Eva-Valérie Gfrerer, co-founder of Morphais, said: “We founded Morphais to make venture capital far more efficient and transparent, so the very best founders are surfaced irrespective of their background.
"Joining Evertrace allows us to combine our unique sourcing technology with Evertrace’s advanced features and founder signals. It will enhance the offering for our customers.”
Earlier this year, Evertrace raised $600,000 with investments from VCs along with Sonu Banga, co-founder of Intellishore; Eske Gunge, founder of Actimo; and the investor Christian Jantzen.
