Hume banked €32.4M ($35M) in a Series A round led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). The investment includes participation from Accel and Index Ventures. The capital injection marks a significant commitment from major Silicon Valley firms into the Dutch enterprise software ecosystem.
Hume develops an AI-driven platform designed to automate the end-to-end management of small businesses. The system handles complex operational tasks that typically require human oversight, aiming to provide small business owners with an autonomous "operating system" that manages workflows, scheduling, and repetitive administrative burdens.
The company was established by alumni from Robinhood and Superhuman, bringing backgrounds in high-growth fintech and productivity software to the challenge of SME automation. The founders intend to use the funding to scale their engineering team and accelerate the deployment of their autonomous management agents.
As US-headquartered funds increasingly lead early-stage rounds in Europe, the focus has shifted toward companies applying agentic AI to traditional industry verticals. Hume’s success in attracting top-tier global venture firms underlines the growing appetites for European founders tackling the global small business sector.
