Definic Rebrands, Raises $2.7M for Vendor Intel Platform

Jan de Vries · 2026-06-12

A Slovakian startup formerly known as Nordics just made a big move. It rebranded to Definic and closed a $2.7 million Seed round. The goal? To take its IT vendor intelligence platform global. Based in Kosice, Definic started as a regional IT marketplace. Now it's aiming much higher. The company wants to become the go-to source for enterprises struggling to pick the right tech vendors. ### The Funding Details The round was led by J&T Ventures. Seed Starter CS and Slovak Investment Holding also joined in. The money will help Definic expand into the DACH region, the UK, and the United States. ### Why the Rebrand Matters CEO Lukas Rezanina put it plainly. "Vendor selection today is largely a social process built on relationships, referrals, and reputation. That worked when projects were slower, and the stakes were lower. It doesn't work anymore." He added that the new name reflects what they're building: "a definitive layer of intelligence between enterprises and the vendors they trust with their most critical projects." ### How Definic Works Founded in 2020, Definic helps enterprises improve IT vendor selection. It uses delivery track records, case studies, and live market pricing. The platform claims to fix a broken system. Here's the problem: picking the wrong IT vendor can cost 3 to 5 times the original contract amount. Procurement teams often lack clear insight. Decisions get made based on reputation, hourly rates, and past relationships. Definic's solution? It assesses vendors through thousands of data points. This includes delivery track records, case studies, and live market pricing. The results are impressive: - Tender cycles shortened from months to weeks - IT vendor expenses reduced by as much as 20% ### Real Results from a Banking Client A major banking group in Central Europe used Definic to improve its IT procurement. The procurement team identified over 90 relevant vendors aligned with project requirements. That's a huge increase in sourcing options. The improved visibility reduced tender cycles from 6 weeks to just 2 weeks. During the first five months of 2026, the bank saved $1.3 million on $5.9 million spent on IT vendors. That's a 22% savings rate. ### The Team Behind the Vision Co-founder Robert Decman, who also serves as CEO of North America, shared how the investment came together. He first met Martin Kesner from J&T Ventures at Vodafone's Nápad Roku in 2023. At that time, the startup was still early and not ready for venture funding. "We stayed in touch and focused on execution," Decman said. "Having J&T Ventures lead this round now is a strong reflection of the trust built over time and the progress the whole team has made." Jan Sova from J&T Ventures praised the founders. "Definic's proprietary Vendor Intelligence technology creates a clear and defensible moat in a market long overdue for disruption. Having followed Robert, Lukas, and Michal for several years, we have seen firsthand the execution discipline and relentless commitment that distinguish exceptional founders." ### What's Next for Definic The company is now positioned to scale globally. With $2.7 million in fresh funding, it plans to accelerate product development and expand its reach. The DACH region, UK, and US are top priorities. For enterprises tired of guessing which IT vendors to trust, Definic offers a data-driven alternative. The platform replaces gut feelings with hard evidence. And based on early results, it's working. This rebrand and funding round mark a turning point. Definic is no longer just a Slovakian IT marketplace. It's a global vendor intelligence platform ready to disrupt how enterprises choose their technology partners.
