Wenite, a Ghent-based HR tech startup, has raised €1.8 million in funding to accelerate its European expansion and strengthen its position as an infrastructure provider for HR service firms. The round includes €1.2 million in equity financing from Imec.iStart, and a group of private investors from the HR sector.
Across Europe, HR service providers, including strategic consultants and organisational advisors, play a central role in supporting companies’ people strategies. Today, around 60 per cent of organisations rely on such providers.
Despite this, many companies still depend on fragmented tools like spreadsheets, documents, and form-based surveys to manage employee data, track wellbeing, and oversee coaching or development programmes. As a result, valuable insights remain scattered, limiting efficiency and making it difficult to scale services or measure impact.
Founded in 2021 by Jasper Dezwaef, Emiel Cracco, and Robin Vannieuwenhuijse, Wenite was created to address these challenges. The platform provides HR consultants with a unified infrastructure to manage client relationships and employee data.
It integrates tools for data collection, CRM, workflow management, and AI-driven analysis, allowing consultants to centralise insights and deliver measurable outcomes. Through client-facing dashboards, end organisations gain visibility into progress and impact, enabling more data-driven decision-making.
We want to become the backbone for European HR service providers looking to scale their business and make it data-driven,
says CEO Jasper Dezwaef.
Wenite’s approach focuses specifically on the needs of HR service providers, enabling them to automate processes such as surveys, reporting, and employee follow-up. By consolidating data into a continuous, evolving client record, the platform helps consultants improve efficiency while building longer-term client relationships.
The investment marks a significant step in Wenite’s ambition to build a scalable, data-driven foundation for HR services across Europe, as the company accelerates its commercial expansion, grows its team, and targets a broader market of approximately 20,000 HR service providers.
