Timefold
Developer platform for vehicle routing and shift scheduling APIs
About Timefold
Timefold is a Ghent software company founded in 2023 by Maarten Vandenbroucke (CEO) and Geoffrey De Smet (CTO) that builds a developer platform for vehicle routing and employee shift scheduling APIs. Its commercial stack builds on Timefold Solver, the open-source successor to OptaPlanner, giving software teams deterministic optimisation for field service, workforce and logistics without needing in-house OR specialists. Customers and embedders include NEC Software Solutions, CBRE, Lufthansa, ADP, Orange Telecom and Subaru. After a €2 million Smartfin-led pre-seed (2023) and a €6 million Lakestar-led Seed (2024), Timefold raised a $13 million Series A in June 2026 led by Alstin Capital with KOMPAS VC and returning Lakestar and Smartfin, to accelerate US expansion and platform development following 4x ARR growth in 2025.
