Latest capital increases in Fintech companies


, ,
Integral service around a transaction
BY : Diego Gutiérrez | June Thu, 2019

Below, we analyse the example of the company Bizum, which demonstrates the vialbility of the Fintech sector, as well as the latest capital increases carried out in Fintech companies, such as Verse or PLeo.

Cada vez hay una tendencia mayor a la descompartimentalización bancaria. Gracias a ello, las gestiones se realizan de manera telemática e incluso los pagos o las transferencias se hacen de manera instantánea, sin delay.

En este nuevo ecosistema, hay empresas que están empezando a coger la delantera a los grandes bancos tradicionales mediante aplicaciones intuitivas y sencillas de utilizar, lo que ha obligado a dichos bancos a intentar dar el salto a la digitalización para no seguir perdiendo cuota de mercado.

Una de las empresas más importantes dentro de este sector a nivel nacional es la empresa bizum, fundada en el año 2016. Desde entonces, ha sido capaz de captar a más de 2M de usuarios, superar la barrera de las 10M de transacciones y movilizar más de 600M€. Estas cifras han demostrado la viabilidad del sector e impulsado la entrada de nuevas FinTech dentro del panorama.

Debido a esta expansión, se está ampliando la entrada de las inversiones con el fin de dinamizar el sector y ser capaces de crear empresas que supongan la competencia.

Dentro de este grupo podemos remarcar las siguientes compañías:

See

See es una FinTech que permite la gestión de transacciones, pagos, cobros, devoluciones… de manera online, gestionando cuentas virtuales que pueden ser personalizadas para las necesidades de cada usuario.

A finales de mayo esta compañía ha levantado 5,3M€ for facilitar y acelerar su crecimiento e intentar consolidar su posición dentro del panorama nacional.

Pleo

Pleo es una FinTech orientada a los pagos dentro de las instalaciones de la empresa, ya sea cafetería, máquina expendedora, etc. De este modo, se pueden agilizar los procesos y tener un control de la nutrición de los trabajadores.

Esta idea innovadora triunfa en los países escandinavos, y ha llevado a cabo una ampliación de capital por valor de $56M a principios de mayo, siendo el grupo Stripes el máximo inversor de esta ronda de “Series B”.

Technology Data Analytics
for M&A
Advanced data anlytics is a weapon". Intelfin is an artificial intelligence tool we use for investing and creating value in SMEs through competitive analytics and the enterprise environment.

IntelFin consists of a cognitive system, which, through the application of advanced analytical technologies, facilitates the automation of investment and financing decisions in the field of non-listed companies and especially SMEs in high-growth sectors.

The information related to these companies is characterized by their lack of transparency and heterogeneity; thus, it is necessary to develop an advanced analysis which is as much predictive as prescriptive and is developed in a natural language custom, suitable to obtain greater clarity and knowledge of the investment scope.

The IntelFin system focuses especially on analyzing the variables that define and influence the competitive environment of a sector and the positioning of a company, analyzing their influence on future value creation. Therefore, IntelFin supports strategic decision-making to senior management by resolving questions such as:

¿What are my competitors' priorities, strategies and expansion plans? Who's my competition? Which competitor is most likely to grow at a higher rate?
Which areas of activity/business models will receive the most investment? Which sectors are most attractive to investors?
Which companies are going to experience the most growth in the near future? Which companies are most likely to receive investment or be acquired?
Training Methodology
We have developed training programs in an innovative set-up which guarantees our teams the acquisition of technical competences both in the field of corporate finance and in the field of psychology, that is much needed when it comes to negotiation processes.

We have a culture of continuous improvement of our processes, closely related to the use of information systems that allow the enhancement of internal communication between our teams, as well as external communication with our customers. Hence, we extend best practices identified internally in an efficient and rapid manner among our members.

Are you one of those who prefer to be well informed when making decisions?
