Scotty AI

Scotty AI is an Dutch-based agentic AI infrastructure company founded in November 2023. The platform solves three structural barriers blocking enterprise AI adoption: compliance paralysis caused by data sovereignty risks, vendor lock-in fear, and the action gap between chatbots that talk and systems that can actually execute against legacy ERPs and enterprise infrastructure.

In just 16 months, Scotty moved from founding to live enterprise production across multiple sectors (HR, logistics, retail, live events, and criminal justice) serving organisations with up to 538,000 employees. The platform is deployed across the Netherlands, UK, Germany, USA and Australia, with active expansion into Asia Pacific and the US. Capgemini is onboarded as a strategic delivery partner, using Scotty to build and deploy AI solutions for their enterprise clients.

The founding team combines deep expertise in AI, conversational technology, and enterprise HR, with a track record of building and scaling AI-driven products across global markets. Scotty is revenue-funded from early client contracts and angel investment, with a clear path to international scale through hyperscaler partnerships and a global partner network.

Most enterprise automation tools handle simple, routine interactions well, but fail when real-world complexity intervenes. They cannot write to legacy ERPs, they are locked to a single AI provider, and they cannot run in a private cloud environment where sensitive data must stay within a compliance perimeter. This leaves a critical gap between what AI promises and what enterprises can actually deploy.

Scotty closes that gap with three core differentiators:

Sovereign deployment: The platform runs in private or hybrid cloud, meaning client data never leaves their perimeter. This is a decisive advantage as the EU AI Act comes into force and CIOs face increasing pressure to demonstrate data sovereignty compliance.

Universal integration: Deep native connections to SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, Workday, Microsoft Teams, Slack, WhatsApp, and telephony infrastructure give Scotty agents genuine read and write access to the systems organisations already run, not surface-level API calls, but full process automation that eliminates manual data entry.

Model and hyperscaler agnosticism: Clients bring their own LLM, their own cloud, and their own API keys. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or open-source, switchable with a single configuration change. This "bring your own everything" approach future-proofs clients against commoditisation and vendor dependency.

The result is AI agents that initiate conversations, make decisions, handle exceptions, escalate to humans, and update backend systems (across voice, WhatsApp, SMS, and web simultaneously) in 140+ languages at up to one million concurrent conversations.

The global conversational AI market is projected to exceed €50 billion by 2030, with enterprise agentic AI as the fastest-growing segment. Scotty targets large enterprises (1,000+ employees) across any sector requiring high-volume, process-critical AI automation, a market underserved by both point solutions and generic chatbot platforms.

Scotty's go-to-market combines three routes to scale:
Direct enterprise deployments: For example, live with PostNL (538,000 employees, 73% recruitment cost reduction, time-to-interview from 4 days to 4 hours) and Hunkemöller (180+ stores across 10+ EU countries, time to hire from 18 days to 4 days - early results)

System integrator partnerships: Capgemini is onboarded on the platform, delivering Scotty-powered AI solutions to their enterprise clients including in HR, government services, and public sector - eg. Digicampus.

Global partner network: APAC AI (Asia Pacific distribution), and active UK partner onboarding underway. Expansion through hyperscaler marketplaces provides an additional route to scale across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud customer bases.

Scotty's team of 27 spans two offices (Utrecht (Netherlands) and Portugal) across six nationalities, combining deep technical capability with strong commercial execution.

Leadership:
Reiner Bruns (Co-founder, Head of Product & Technology) brings deep expertise in cognitive AI and conversational systems, with prior experience as Cognitive Project Lead at IPsoft and AI Solutions Lead at EPAM Systems. He has built and deployed AI-powered products for global enterprise clients across HR, talent acquisition, and service technology.

Martijn Stegink (COO) leads operational scaling, ensuring the business infrastructure keeps pace with rapid commercial growth across multiple geographies and enterprise client deployments.

Stanislaw Wasowicz (Advisor) contributes strategic guidance on go-to-market and partnerships, drawing on nearly two decades of HR technology experience and his network across global enterprise and RPO markets.

Team structure:
The organisation is built around two complementary pillars:

Product & Engineering
Data Science, Core Engineering, Infrastructure, and Conversational Design, responsible for building and evolving the platform and delivering client deployments.

Go-to-Market
Sales, Marketing, and Client Support, responsible for market expansion, pipeline, and ensuring clients achieve measurable outcomes from their AI deployments.

This structure reflects a deliberate choice: enough engineering depth to maintain a genuinely complex enterprise platform, paired with a GTM function capable of closing and onboarding large organisations. The Wavemakers culture,named after the world's biggest wave at Nazaré, Portugal, close to where much of the team works, drives a shared ambition to think big and create impact that changes how organisations operate.

Scotty's vision is to become the default infrastructure layer for enterprise agentic AI globally. the platform that system integrators, enterprises, and governments choose when they need AI that acts, not just responds, within the boundaries of their own data sovereignty requirements.

Successes to date:
Winner — Capgemini Business Impact Award
Winner — Capgemini Scaile Programme
Winner — Best Innovation, NORA Awards
Winner — Hays Choice Award, ATC Australia
Nominated — Computable Awards 2025, Partner Project (AIWitness with Capgemini and University of Groningen)
Cited by the US Postal Service Office of Inspector General as a global benchmark for AI-driven hiring innovation
Featured in HR Magazine and by RPOA as a leading agentic recruiting platform

The strongest validation of Scotty's model is not awards, it is what clients do after go-live. Deployments that reduced time-to-hire from 18 days to 4, delivered €800k in measurable savings, and generated over €2M in additional client revenue did not end at the project boundary ( Results from different clients, NDA). They created demand for more. Clients who saw results expanded Scotty's deployment across additional countries, business units, and use cases, turning pilot projects into enterprise-wide programmes. This expansion pattern, driven by demonstrated ROI rather than sales effort, is the clearest signal of product-market fit.

Scotty is simultaneously growing through direct enterprise relationships and through strategic partners, most notably Capgemini, which is deploying Scotty-powered solutions across its own client portfolio spanning HR, government services, and public sector.

Scalability: The platform architecture supports horizontal scale by design, one agent definition runs across unlimited concurrent conversations, channels, and geographies without redeployment. The partner model multiplies reach without proportional headcount growth. Active expansion is underway across the UK, US, and Asia Pacific through both direct and hyperscaler routes to market.

From a standing start in November 2023, Scotty now serves publicly listed enterprises across five sectors in multiple countries, all with a 27-person team. The infrastructure is built, the partnerships are in place, and the global expansion is underway.
