Overview
Founded in 2022 by Gauthier Henroz (CEO), Henry Hertoghe (CTO), and Matthieu Hertoghe (Head of Engineering), Chift focuses specifically on the financial software integration layer. Rather than trying to cover every possible category, Chift chose to go deep on tools that generate financial data, including accounting software, POS systems, e-commerce platforms, and invoicing tools.
The positioning has attracted a strong early customer base of Fintech and SaaS companies that need their products to connect with the tools their customers already use. Early clients include Pennylane, Agicap, Pleo, Mollie, and Qonto. Investors in Chift's seed round included Entourage (Pieterjan Bouten's fund), Shapers (Philippe Teixeira da Mota's fund), Seeder Fund, and several business angels.
In June 2024, Chift raised EUR 2.3M in seed funding, which it plans to use to double the team and expand its connector library across European financial software ecosystems.

In the news
- Chift API is growing, same heart, but bigger ambition 🔥 New people join us, customers trust us with bigger projects, and our ambition keeps rising. But growth also changes how we work together. As we add people across teams and countries, some of us don’t know each other as well as we used to. We don’t travel every day, so the distance builds up quietly. That is why #offsites matter. They are the moment to build the bond that makes a team strong. The company is the people. Every person who joins us brings their energy and their
- Yesterday, Erik V. pitched ZYGO in front of the Deloitte Technology #FAST50BE jury. While we didn’t take home an award, we are very grateful for such a unique experience! Congratulations to Spott HR, this year’s Rising Star, and Sirona Technologies for winning the Most Disruptive Technology Award. The shortlist was especially strong this year with finalists like WARREN, Spotable, nuclivision, Leexi, Maurice & Nora, Chift API and Introw. Also a special shoutout to our partner AI-BLOX | Physical AI computers for winning the
- Targeted 100+ Welcomed 250+ Brussels, you blew us away! Stop #4 of our Back-to-School Roadshow landed right in the beating heart of the capital at BeCentral, and the Drink ZYLA energy in the room was electric. With the Back-to-School Roadshow we aim to make the innovation and startup economy the #1 destination for top Belgian graduates launching their careers in entrepreneurship, tech, law, finance, public policy, … Our mission is reaching its ambition: building tangible bridges across our entire Belgian startup ecosystem. When
- I’m so excited to share our latest product update: the #Partnership View This is unique in the integration industry 😎 Put simply, our partners (aka our connectors) can now see and approve the software that connects to them. Until now, it was a black box for them. They approve a partnership, but they can’t follow how it performs. We make it visible, and we foster partnership between software to elevate their value. That’s the V0. What’s next: 🔐 Getting API keys and access securely and instantly. This can sometimes be tricky
- In less than two weeks, the game is on! ⚔️ The competition is fierce, so expect a tightly contested final 😏 Looking forward to competing with Chift API, Introw, Leexi, Maurice & Nora, Sirona Technologies, Spotable, Spott, WARREN and ZYGO. Competition aside, it is another wonderful opportunity to put nuclear medicine in the spotlight. Thanks for this opportunity 🙏 Deloitte Lidia Belevitch Anaïs De Boulle Stefanie Deronne
- Only 2 more weeks until Tectonic... I will have the honor and the pleasure to discuss Belgium's tech future with Minister Vincent Van Peteghem. I'm grateful that the Minister is willing to show up for the +1000 entrepreneurs, enterprise leaders and investors at Tectonic. Belgium has the potential to become a relevant player in Europe as demonstrated by the recent announcements of Aikido Security and TechWolf, as well as the growth stories from a new generation of champions like Tekst, Chift API, WARREN, Conveo, Timefold,
- The first edition of Fintech Meetup Europe was a blast 🔥 I've rarely seen an event so effective at connecting leaders across the banking and fintech ecosystem. Those 2 days in Lisbon were incredibly valuable. Back-to-back 15-minute meetings with leaders from the biggest #banks and #fintechs, and everyone wants to help. You quickly realize we're all facing the same scaling challenges across Europe. The energy was contagious. The conversations kept coming back to one thing: how do you scale fast without rebuilding infrastructure in
- We don't mean to brag but 6 out of 10 startups in the Deloitte Rising Star finalists have someone in FirstMovers, just saying. 💁 They even picked Alexandre and Joyce as the first 2 pictures. We would have done the same, amazing choice. All humble bragging aside, we could not be more proud of Alexandre (Chift API), Joyce (Introw), Sibylle (Sirona Technologies), Arnoud, Kevin, Nathan (Spott), Siebe (WARREN), and Julien (Leexi) and their respective teams for building every day in startups that make an impact on our society and put
