$350+ billion in transactions touched. 100M+ in capital markets terms indexed. Referenced daily by the best firms in the world. and… $22M Series A These are things I couldn’t have imagined writing when we launched the Noetica AI platform under 1.5 years ago. Our goal at the outset was clear: provide best-in-class capital markets insights and data to our customers and focus relentlessly on the product—no gimmicks, no marketing, no frills—function over form. This commitment, and the tireless effort of our incredible team, has led to a platform that has quickly become one of the most relied on data sources for deal data across the market. We’re humbled and energized to expand our ability to meet the demand for our platform with this new capital. Thank you Lightspeed, Bling Capital, Thomson Reuters Ventures, Flybridge, Company Ventures and The LegalTech Fund for the partnership. https://lnkd.in/erk4ByWS

?? It is almost 4 years ago that Avinash and I decided to start Payflow (YC S21) and today we have BIG news to share: We have just raised a 6M€ equity fundraising round! This brings the total equity raised to 17M€, and the total funding (including 20M€ debt from BBVA Spark) to 37M€. ?? Investors include Thomson Reuters Ventures, GED Conexo Ventures, Seaya, Cathay Innovation, Force Over Mass. We are truly thankful for the trust of our new investors, as well as the continued support of existing ones. ?? In today’s world where fundraising is an order of magnitude harder than it was, we believe that building a healthy company is what is most rewarded by the market. ?? “Profitability is the new cool”. For us and it numbers it means: -> Sustained growth: reaching the 4M€ ARR milestone and growing 100-200% YoY -> Sustainable growth: only 40 stellar Payflowees (100k€ of ARR per employee) and margins over 70% ???? Nowadays, more money in the bank means more optionality. More optionality to: 1/ Accelerate if the market demands it 2/ Stay afloat when your competitors won’t 3/ Take bold moves that can really make a difference 4/ Reach profitability faster to not depend on external funding ?? Wow this is exciting! Let’s win ?? https://lnkd.in/dj-8_WGY

The best VCs I’ve met come into our meeting with an opinion on the space I’m operating in. We very quickly get past the high level topics and get into the hard questions. What are the key drivers to winning in this market? What are the advantages of building in one workflow vs another? What does it mean to build an AI-native accounting solution? These meetings are win-win. I always leave these meetings having learned something new. And I hope the VC leaves the meeting with a deeper understanding of how we are building this company. Looking forward to catching up with several of you soon. If you have an opinion on AI for the CFO suite / Accounting, let’s talk Lastly, shout out to the Truewind investors who truly exemplify what it means to be value-add. Whether it’s facilitating partnership discussions, making customer introductions, inviting us to speak at conferences, or simply pick up the phone at 11pm at night. Thank you.
