Nexus, a Brussels-founded AI agent deployment platform, raised $4.3 million in seed funding led by General Catalyst with participation from Y Combinator, Transpose Platform, Twenty Two Ventures, and Phosphor Capital, according to The Next Web. Angel investors including Gokul Rajaram, Raphael Schaad, and Jake Mintz also participated, per Pulse 2.0.
Founded in 2024 by Assem Chammah (former McKinsey consultant, aerospace engineer) and Shady Al Shoha, the platform targets the prototype-to-production gap for enterprise AI agents. The pitch: non-technical business teams describe what they want in plain language, and Nexus deploys a working agent in weeks across 4,000+ integrations including CRM, ERP, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, with governance built in from the start, TNW reported.
Early Traction
Orange, the global telecom group, deployed a customer onboarding agent through Nexus in four weeks. The result: a 50% increase in conversion rates and more than $6 million in annual lifetime value from that single agent, according to Pulse 2.0. Lambda.ai and Proximus Global are also listed as enterprise customers, per TNW.
The round is small but the backers are notable. General Catalyst has been building a portfolio in enterprise AI enablement, and YC’s presence signals the company came through that pipeline. The company operates from Brussels and San Francisco and serves enterprises across telecommunications, automotive, consulting, and technology, according to Pulse 2.0.
