The founders of smarterwork are 3 Belgian entrepreneurs; Bruno Monteyne (Harvard MBA), Francois de Borchgrave (Harvard MBA) and Jan van den Berghe (Insead).

In September 1999 the founders raised $1 million seed capital, set up smarterwork's headquarters in London, and recruited the initial team to build the technical infrastructure. The beta website was launched in November 1999, followed by second round funding of $12 million and full service launch in February 2000. smarterwork is funded by three European venture capitalists; Net-Partners, Wellington Partners and Index Ventures.
