SUMMARY
- Belgian scale-up SEQUESTO, which is redefining how organizations manage tenders, RFIs, and RFPs, has raised €2.5 million in strategic funding from Smartfin and Newion.
Founded in 2020, SEQUESTO is an AI-first platform that leverages agentic workflows to automate repetitive, error-prone tasks throughout the RFx lifecycle, improving tender teams’ efficiency and boosting win rates.
With tenders increasing in volume and complexity alongside rapid AI advances, the global market for RFP optimization software is gaining momentum. Yet for many organizations, responding to RFPs, RFIs, and other procurement processes remains manual, slow, and costly resulting in persistently low win rates.
Unlike legacy providers offering only incremental gains, SEQUESTO reinvents the entire RFx lifecycle with advanced AI, setting a new industry benchmark.
