Lynk, the collaborative AI contract workspace that gives businesses full control over their agreements, has raised a pre-seed round led by European AI investor Curiosity VC and joined by strategic angel investors.

Founded by a team with roots at TU Delft, they aim to provide users with a contract intelligence layer embedded in the contract-control process. It automates costly audit work, surfaces hidden risks, and signals critical actions in the contract-control lifecycle. The workspace enables faster strategic decision-making, eliminates missed obligations, improves financial outcomes, and removes the manual, time-intensive administrative load that has defined contract control for decades.

Adopted today by enterprise and small businesses in real-estate development and general contracting across the Netherlands, Lynk has shaped its product by working directly with industry leaders, building a uniquely fitting product for the complex contract context.

Ruben van Gaalen, founder and CEO of Lynk, said:

“Companies we work with often manage more than 100,000 pages of active contractual obligations. Until now, this has been audited manually and tracked in Excel. It’s not only extremely labor-intensive, it’s also highly error-prone. Our workspace and its AI capabilities now make it possible to this work reliably and at scale.”

Contract control is entering a phase of rapid AI-driven disruption. The way large organisations audit and manage contractual obligations will shift fundamentally. Within five years, legal, operational, and financial control functions will be reshaped. AI will take over all manual contract-related tasks and combine them with a company’s contextual data, freeing professionals to focus entirely on the work that creates real value.

Elliot Schouten, CFO and investment manager at Curiosity VC, added:

“Organisations are looking for a system that turns unstructured contractual data into structured insights and true observability across finance, legal and operations. This is becoming mission-critical as businesses need far better visibility into obligations, risks and downstream impact to operate with confidence and clarity. Lynk is shaping exactly that future. Lynk’s product fits directly into how teams work and solves a problem that has been underserved for years.”

With this funding, the team will be able to accelerate commercial expansion, supporting the company’s international rollout, and expanding their product into new verticals where complex, high-value agreements require better control.
