Groningen-based Iki.ai, a Dutch AI startup that envisions a next-generation knowledge interface, has secured a strategic investment from Dutch startup analysts Golden Egg Check. The funding amount, however, remains undisclosed.
“Thomas Mensink and Gilles Meijer are shaping the future of the Dutch and European tech venture scene, so we’re happy they decided to take part in our journey,” says Iki.ai.
Mensink, CEO & VC at Golden Egg Check, adds, “I met Ivan Ilin and Max Orlov via an introduction of Ytsen van der Meer and I’ve been impressed by the team and their product ever since.”
“When we realised how many people actively use their Intelligent Knowledge Interface to a point where Iki.ai is able to monetise it, we believed that this is the right moment to invest in them to capture this large opportunity.”
