Fluencify.io, a Stockholm-based end-to-end creator marketing platform, has raised an oversubscribed €3.7 million pre-Seed funding round. 🇸🇪 🤖 🎥 📱

The oversubscribed round was led by byFounders, with participation from Wave Ventures. The fundraising comes as the company surpasses €1.7 million ARR in just six months after launching the platform. Magnus Hambleton of byFounders will join Fluencify’s board.

Erik Romdhane, CEO and co-founder of Fluencify, commented, “From my experience on both sides of the table, as an influencer and running an agency, I found the creative elements of the work were the smallest part. Most of the hours went to finding the right creators, chasing replies, writing briefs, developing content, and paying people across borders. This is work that only scales by hiring. We wanted to build a system so a brand can describe the outcome it wants and get the campaign run end to end, without all the legwork. We’re looking forward to scaling into the US with this backing from byFounders.”
