Ravical

What we do: Ravical is an AI agentic software company that empowers expert firms in accounting, tax, insurance, HR, and legal services to deliver faster, smarter, and more scalable client services. Our platform leverages autonomous AI agents—virtual employees trained in domain expertise and firm-specific knowledge—to automate up to 80% of routine operational tasks. This allows professionals to focus on higher-value, strategic work while maintaining the quality and personal touch that sets expert firms apart.

Where we are located: Ravical is headquartered in Ghent, Belgium, a vibrant tech hub known for innovation and entrepreneurship. The company is expanding its presence in Belgium and plans to open a branch in the Winter Circus in Ghent.

Short history: Ravical was founded in 2025 by Joris Van Der Gucht, Ken Bastiaensen, and Benjamin Vandermarliere, all experienced entrepreneurs and AI specialists. The team previously co-founded Silverfin, a successful accounting software firm acquired for €320 million. Ravical builds on this legacy by targeting the digital transformation of expert service firms, with a mission to make advisory services more accessible and efficient for SMEs.

Organization & culture: Ravical is a privately held startup with a growing team of AI experts, software engineers, and domain specialists. The company values innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to preserving the unique expertise and culture of professional service firms. Ravical fosters a dynamic, forward-thinking environment where technology and human insight work hand in hand.

Recent developments: In May 2025, Ravical secured €7.3 million in pre-seed funding, led by Lakestar and supported by Belgian investors Pitchdrive and Syndicate One. The company has completed 10 pilot projects with professional services firms and is using the funding to further develop its AI solutions, expand its team, and support international growth.
