Danish AI infrastructure startup Velatir raises €5 million

Danish AI infrastructure company Velatir, based in Odense, has announced a €5 million funding round, arriving just six months after its pre-Seed raise and official market launch. The round was reportedly closed within two weeks.

The investment was co-led by new backer Spintop Ventures alongside existing investor Ugly Duckling Ventures. Existing VC firm Norrsken Evolve also participated, joined by new angel investors Jan Oberhauser, founder of n8n, and Thomas Visti, co-founder of Universal Robots and MiR. Denmark's Export and Investment Fund, EIFO, contributed a matching loan.

Founded in 2025, Velatir is led by CEO Michael Sørensen alongside co-founders Elias Sørensen (CTO), Christian Møller (COO), and Andreas Paulli (CPO). The company describes itself as an integration layer that helps European businesses adopt AI safely while maintaining full control, traceability, and regulatory compliance, particularly under the EU AI Act.

According to Velatir, its platform operates horizontally across a company's AI ecosystem, covering endpoints, vendors, AI agents, employees, and the underlying infrastructure. It combines security, policy enforcement, usage tracking, and discovery in one place, giving organisations real-time visibility into AI use across devices, browsers, employees, and agents, along with centralised controls.

The company said its sales have grown significantly since its pre-Seed round six months ago. Velatir also emphasised that its platform is built entirely on European-owned and hosted infrastructure, deliberately avoiding US hyperscalers — a choice it says is harder but, in its view, the only genuine path to sovereign cloud infrastructure.
