Sequesto is a European technology scale-up founded in 2020 that builds an AI-driven platform to automate and optimize the response process for tenders, requests for proposals (RFPs), and questionnaires. Its product serves tender teams, sales leaders, pre-sales directors, and subject matter experts across multiple industries including HR services, software, healthcare, IT, financial services, and facility management. By automating repetitive, error-prone, and time-consuming tasks in the tender process, Sequesto helps organizations increase efficiency, reduce stress, improve accuracy, and ultimately boost win rates on complex RFx processes[1][3][2].
Sequesto was founded in 2020 by Evrard t’Serstevens (CTO) and Patrick Dalvinck (CEO), who combined their technical expertise and customer-centric vision to address the longstanding inefficiencies in tender response workflows. The idea emerged from recognizing the manual drudgery and complexity involved in managing RFPs and the lack of effective AI solutions in this space. Early traction came from successfully expanding beyond Belgium to major European markets and the U.S., securing clients such as ISS Facility Services and Barona, and attracting investment from firms like Newion Partners and Smartfin[1][2].
Sequesto rides the growing trend of applying AI to automate complex, knowledge-intensive business processes, particularly in procurement and sales enablement. The timing is favorable due to increasing digital transformation demands, the complexity of multinational tender processes, and the need for efficiency gains in competitive bidding. By replacing legacy incremental solutions with a comprehensive AI-first approach, Sequesto is influencing the broader ecosystem by setting new standards for automation and productivity in proposal management, helping enterprises scale their tender operations without proportional increases in headcount[2][3].
Looking ahead, Sequesto is poised to deepen its international footprint and expand its platform capabilities, potentially integrating more advanced AI features and broader workflow automation. Trends such as increased regulatory complexity, globalization of procurement, and AI adoption in enterprise software will shape its journey. Its influence is likely to grow as it helps organizations win more business through smarter, faster, and less stressful tender processes, reinforcing its position as a leader in AI-driven proposal management[2][3][4]. This aligns with its mission to alleviate manual burdens and empower teams to focus on value creation rather than repetitive tasks.
