The first thing you notice on Seamflow's homepage is the verb: "turning months into hours" [Seamflow]. In the testing, inspection, and certification industry, where a single technical file for a Class IIb medical device can sit in a notified body's queue for the better part of two years, it reads as a dare.
Seamflow, founded in 2025, raised $4.5 million in a seed round co-led by Northzone and Initialized Capital, with participation from Nebular, Transpose Platform, Entrepreneur First, Charlie Songhurst, and Mario Götze [Nordic 9, July 2025]. The company describes itself as an AI-native operating system for TIC organizations, and its opening wedge is the Notified Body Suite: software that sits across intake, technical file review, and certificate issuance [Tely.ai, 2026].
The bet
Notified bodies are the private organizations that the EU delegates to assess conformity with regulations like the Medical Device Regulation (MDR). Their reviewers spend enormous amounts of time on document handling, cross-referencing, and audit trails. Seamflow's pitch, articulated by co-founder Sinan Kircova, is that AI should absorb the administrative weight so that TIC experts "spend their time on judgment rather than administrative tasks" [LinkedIn - Sinan Kircova, 2026].
The wedge is MDR. According to Tech Funding News, Seamflow raised specifically to address the EU's roughly 20-month medical device certification delays [Tech Funding News, 2026].
Why it could be big
The investor list includes Northzone, Initialized Capital, Entrepreneur First, and Charlie Songhurst [Nordic 9, July 2025]. The upside is that Seamflow becomes vertical software for a category that almost no generalist SaaS company will ever touch. The incumbent most often named in the space, TrackWise, is a quality-management suite rather than an AI-native review engine, which gives a new entrant room to define the workflow.

The team and traction
Seamflow's founders are Yusufhan Kircova and Konstantin Klingler, both alumni of Entrepreneur First's London cohort [Crunchbase, 2026] [LinkedIn - Jonny Clifford, 2026]. Kircova previously worked at SAP and Bosch [RocketReach, 2026]. Klingler, listed as CEO, is a Schwarzman Scholar [The Org, 2026] [LinkedIn - Konstantin Klingler, 2026]. The company has grown past ten team members in its first year [LinkedIn - Yusufhan Kircova, 2026], and Pieter Verbessem is among the early hires [LinkedIn - Pieter Verbessem, 2026].
The honest counterfactual
Notified bodies are conservative buyers. They are audited themselves, they carry legal liability for their conformity assessments, and they have historically preferred software they can fully control. Seamflow's answer is to lean into auditability: the Notified Body Suite is described as covering "intake to certificate issuance for TIC workflows, ensuring auditable regulatory processes" [Tely.ai, 2026]. The company is pitching the model as the assistant that prepares the file, surfaces the inconsistencies, and leaves the human reviewer with a defensible paper trail.
What to watch
The next twelve months will be about named design partners. Watch for expansion beyond medical devices into adjacent regimes such as the Machinery Regulation or the AI Act's own conformity assessment requirements, which would signal that the platform is generalizing. A Series A in the back half of 2026, if it arrives, will be the cleanest external read on whether the months-into-hours promise is starting to hold up inside real review queues.
