French-founded Goodweek raises €10.69 million for an AI platform aimed at small businesses

Goodweek, a French startup headquartered in Los Angeles that offers small and medium-sized businesses a single AI management platform, has raised €10.69 million ($12 million) in a Seed round. The company plans to use the money to scale its sales operations and enter new markets, including Latin America and Asia.

The round was led by Spanish venture capital firm Adara Ventures, which previously backed Goodweek co-founder Nicolas Stehle at his earlier company Scalefast, sold in 2022. Anamcara Capital, BGV, BY Venture Partners, CentraleSupélec Venture, FJ Labs, Interlace Ventures, True Ventures and Bpifrance, the French public investment bank, also took part. Adara Ventures Founding Partner Nico Goulet said that backing a founder a second time is among the clearest signals of conviction an investor can give.

The problem it targets

Goodweek says employees often bring AI tools into companies without IT approval. This leads to personal accounts, confidential data leaving the business, and duplicate subscriptions that add to costs. The platform combines leading AI models, including Anthropic's Claude, OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Mistral, keeps company data isolated and does not use it to train third-party models. Business leaders can see who is using which AI tools and at what cost.

The company

Goodweek was founded in Strasbourg and incubated at Station F, a startup campus in Paris. Its founders are Guillaume Nominé, who is CEO, and Stehle. Nominé previously founded the collaboration tool Atolia, sold to JustCall in 2022. Both studied computer science at ENSIIE.

The funding arrives days after the company's first anniversary. Goodweek now operates in three countries, employs 50 people and has nearly 150 customers in France, Spain, the United Kingdom, the Benelux and North America.
