Belgian startup Proxyclick raises $15 million to help enterprise companies securely manage visitors

Proxyclick, the Belgian provider of enterprise visitor management software, has raised a $15 million Series B round led by Five Elms Capital, with participation from Series A investor JOIN Capital. Founded in Brussels in 2008, the company helps enterprise companies manage visitor access to offices and production sites. Proxyclick has thought about the entire “visitor journey,” from invitation to checkout. Therefore the software integrates with meeting room management systems, calendar applications, wayfinding solutions, Wi-Fi credentials, and parking management systems. Overall, the Belgian software aims to balance venue security with visitor privacy, while meeting all compliance requirements. As security technology and privacy concerns grow more complex, Proxyclick will need to incorporate both seamlessly. “Adding security features like facial recognition and watchlists while respecting visitor data privacy, and everyone’s time, is the real challenge. The funding will help us achieve this faster,” said Geoffroy De Cooman, co-founder and Chief Product Officer. So far, the software has processed over 30 million visitors in 7,000 locations around the world. Clients include L’Oréal, Vodafone, Revolut, PepsiCo, Airbnb, and a number of global Fortune 500 companies. The company also serves public areas, such as Brooklyn Navy Yard, which sees over 1,000 visitors per day. Indeed, the US is the company’s largest market and where much of the latest funding will be invested. “Proxyclick achieved market leadership with very limited means, and we are excited to help them accelerate their roadmap and significantly increase their US market presence,” said Ryan Mandl, Partner at Five Elms Capital.
