Managing Partner
Octopus Ventures and CommerzVentures joined the round to support international expansion and product development.
"What we’re building is the agent layer that financial services need to run their customer operations autonomously. It has to work the way they do, connect to the systems they have already built, and handle the long-running work that has stayed manual until now"
The round was led by CommerzVentures with backing from Move Capital Fund I and existing investors to support global growth.
"This round gives us the room to grow with confidence. The investment allows us to scale in a way that keeps pace with our clients. We have the teams, the technology, and the stability to support the largest brokers and carriers as they modernise how they operate."
Speedinvest led the Series A round to fund the company expansion into Germany and the wider European market.
"With a strong footprint in our home market France, Germany is the perfect starting point for our ambitious European expansion. Our goal is to create a clear and secure way to use both euros and digital assets in everyday life – and these markets are critical to defining the future of on-chain banking in Europe."
GV led the Series A round for the climate risk platform, which will use the capital to scale its presence in North America and Europe.
"In just over one year since going to market, Climate X has become one of the world’s fastest growing providers of physical climate risk data and analytics, driving value for global financial services clients with over $6.5 trillion in combined AUM. Assessing the impact of physical climate risk on asset valuations and business operations is now a necessity, not a nice-to-have."
The Series B round was led by IVP to support expansion into APAC and the Americas.
"Testament to our progress and our vision for real-time payments everywhere, we’re thrilled to be working with our new partners at IVP, joining their portfolio of leading global brands. We’re staying focused, and humble, as we embark on this next chapter."
