This company is a fintech startup based in Berlin in 2020. The company originally established itself as a comprehensive SME finance and administrative automation solution, initially catering to small and medium-sized enterprises. However, their trajectory has evolved and transitioned into an API-first enterprise.
Their primary goal is empowering entities with substantial business audiences, enabling them to seamlessly integrate value-added financial services within their interfaces.

The company is funded by international investors. Currently, the product has already acquired 15 clients and is generating profits.
The product consists of three main components:
Software that enables offering Invoicing or Bill Pay through an API and then integrating them for business clients.
Payment system (This company aggregates providers and manages payments, allowing users to make payments through different systems using a single API).
Financial services will be available in 2023 to create an optimal user experience. Small businesses can utilize services directly in their neobanks or, for example, in restaurant software.
The company has an international team comprising around 50 employees, with 25% being technical specialists. The team members work from Germany, England, Nigeria, Georgia, and Armenia.
