ScoutinScience Raises Nearly €1 Million to Accelerate Research Impact Across Europe

We’re excited to share that ScoutinScience has raised close to €1 million in growth funding. This milestone marks a new chapter in our mission to turn research into real-world results.

The new investment will fuel our expansion across European universities and knowledge institutions, and accelerate the development of our societal impact metrics, helping us offer even more strategic, data-driven support to our clients.

This round includes follow-on support from 819 Capital, our initial investor, alongside several new angel investors with deep expertise in AI, academic research, and corporate R&D.

“This round reflects the increasing demand from universities and public research institutions to unlock the value of their scientific output in a strategic, data-driven way,” said Gilles Meijer, CEO of ScoutinScience. “We’re excited to scale our reach and deepen the insights we provide around real-world impact.”

Since 2020, we’ve supported TTOs, universities, governments, and corporations through AI-powered scouting, ecosystem insights, and innovation strategy. Our work has been twice recognized by the European Commission as a best practice in research valorisation.

With clients in Germany, Austria, Ireland, and the Netherlands, and partnerships in over 10 countries, we’re proud to be shaping the future of innovation in Europe.

This funding will support:

• Growth into new European markets
• Expansion of our proprietary metrics (Business Potential Score, SRL, SDG alignment)
• Broader services in scouting, matchmaking, and strategic reporting

A big thank you to our investors, clients, teams, co-founders and partners who believe in our mission to double global technology transfer by 2050.
