LinkedInSpeedinvest 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."
The financing round was led by Singular with participation from Shapers, Y Combinator, and Zeno Ventures.
"Behind every financial plan is a human story. Advisers and their teams quietly change lives, giving families confidence and peace of mind. Our job is to empower humans in the financial advice process. By doing the heavy-admin-lifting and making compliance much more reliable and less painful, we can help financial advice professionals offer their life-changing services to more people at a significantly lower cost,"
The financing round was led by Notion Capital with backing from Shapers, Semapa Next, and existing shareholders.
"Ferovinum’s platform leverages technology to give small and mid-sized players in the drinks industry access to funding, and an integrated set of supply chain services. In this way they enable their customers to compete more effectively with the large corporates and, ultimately, to unlock growth. We couldn’t be more excited to invest in this industry disruptor."
The funding round was led by Valar Ventures, Viola Fintech and Shapers to support the expansion of the platform to other top banks.
