Goodweek Secures €10.8M to Bring Governed AI Management to SMBs

Goodweek, a startup founded in Strasbourg, has secured €10.8 million ($12 million) in an early VC round led by Spanish fund Adara Ventures. Its platform, positioned as an AI Manager for small and medium-sized businesses, brings models, data, users, access and spending together in one governed environment.

The company said AI has spread through SMBs largely via employees, often without IT approval, leading to personal accounts, confidential data leaving companies and unmanaged duplicate subscriptions. Goodweek’s platform consolidates models including Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Mistral, keeping each company’s data isolated and never using it for model training.

CEO and co-founder Guillaume Nominé said the goal is to make AI more accessible, secure and genuinely useful in everyday work. Nominé previously co-founded Atolia, sold to JustCall in 2022, while co-founder and CFO Nicolas Stehle led Scalefast, also sold in 2022.

Adara was joined by Anamcara Capital, BGV, BY Venture Partners, CentraleSupélec Venture, FJ Labs, Interlace Ventures and True Ventures, with support from Bpifrance. The funding will drive sales and expansion into Latin America and Asia. In under a year, Goodweek has grown to 50 staff across three countries and nearly 150 customers in France, Spain, the UK, the Benelux and North America.
