Since he registered PSAN with AMF last month, Tilvest announced on Tuesday commercial launched service. After more than a year of work and a PSAN registration in September, Tilvest is launching its offering for private banks, family offices and asset managers to provide their clients with simple and secure access to crypto. The digital asset management services company collected 500,000 euros to realize its project with a few business angel like Claire Balva and Alexander Stachchenko, Co-founders of Blockchain Partners, Bilal El Alamy, co-founder of Dogami, and Brian O’HaganGrowth of Sorare.

Govin says the funds will help advance its beta and bring the product to the masses. The round was led by the Dutch Founders Fund (DFF) with participation from Innovatiefonds Noord-Holland. A group of Angel investors, including Jelle-Jan Bruinsma (Endeit Capital), Thijs Clement (NorbruisClement), Jaap van den Broek & Quirijn van Veen (INGEN-HOUSZ), and Max van de Blaak & Sander van Woerden (Lexar Partners), also joined the round. “One-stop governance platform” Govin was founded by Jesse Grift and Tony Nguyen at the beginning of the year because they were frustrated that many legal processes remained unnecessarily complicated and intransparent. Important procedures, including resolution management, distributing investor rights, and compliance, were only taken seriously after it was already too late. Govin saves time that would otherwise be spent looking for documents and examining legal clauses. Investors and founders can now make informed decisions and comply with regulations in a simple and confident manner, thanks to the centralisation of all governance data and workflows. Grift, who has experienced the legal hotchpotch first-hand while working at a VC, says, “So many precious hours were lost digging through legal paperwork, hours better spent on scaling the company. With new regulations like the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) rolling out in 2024, reporting on your non-financial data such as your ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) becomes mandatory for all alternative investment funds.” Grift adds, “We noticed that the “E” of Environmental and the “S” of Social were often accounted for, yet the “G” of governance remained overlooked.” In simple terms, Govin is a network effects-driven startup that aims to make the G of ESG (governance) more transparent and actionable in order to make life easier for entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. Safeguarding continuity Dutch Founders Fund (DFF) founding partner Hidde Hoogcarspel is aware of the difficulties that come with being a member of the supervisory board and an investor. DFF was one of the platform’s early adopters and one of the first to gain from it. Hoogcarspel says, “As a supervisory board member at Shypple, we have drafted and signed more than 30 resolutions in the past eight months, including more than 200 signatures from 10+ co-investors. Govin allowed everyone to make an informed decision in a matter of clicks instead of reading through dozens of pages of legal documents, saving hours of time.” Govin protects the continuity of governance inside venture capital firms and their portfolio businesses through its distinctive managed governance trail. The platform ensures a speedy and safe decision-making process for every business choice that has to be made by enabling investors and founders to view any relevant legal papers. Govin aims to be the top governance and legal compliance solution for alternative investment funds. “Before the upcoming SFDR regulation is fully effective in 2024, Govin is keen to become your go-to platform to be compliant in a simple and confident way,” adds Grift. https://siliconcanals.com/crowdfunding/govin-bags-1m/ Dutch Founders Fund The Dutch Founders Fund is an early-stage venture capital fund from Amsterdam, started by a group of successful Dutch entrepreneurs like Laurens Groenendijk (Just Eat, Treatwell, Miinto, Hiber), Patrick Kerssemakers (fonQ), Bas Beerens (WeTransfer), Hidde Hoogcarspel (Spacebuzz) and Remco van Zanten (ex Booking.com, Zalando, BCG).

The company is developing new features to attract talent, engage employees and continue providing a unique, personalised experience for employees. With 45 employees, Teamstarter intends to recruit 40 more people to strengthen its product, marketing, and sales divisions. Teamstarter: What you need to know Ségolène Mouterde and Vincent Desmares founded Teamstarter in 2019 in Matters startup studio. It is a crowdfunding platform that allows a company’s (clients) employees to create or finance internal projects using a budget allocated to them by the company. The company aims to make humans the strength of tomorrow’s companies with the first intra-company participatory financing platform. Teamstarter claims it is tackling Europe’s brain drain and talent war by enabling its clients to make their employees into actors and intrapreneurs within their companies. The company believes this will help them to move the lines at their level and create a more engaged workforce. Ségolène Mouterde, CEO of Teamstarter, says, “Our tool enables employees to become active players in their company by allowing everyone, regardless of their job or seniority, to change things at their level by choosing and implementing impactful initiatives that they will carry out from A to Z, thanks to the trust placed in them by the company. The aim is to mobilise collective intelligence with employees working hand in hand to put their ideas into shape, make their project known in their company, and, once the funds have been reached, deploy the initiative themselves. So it’s not foosball that engages, and Teamstarter activates the right motivational mechanisms: taking the initiative, trust, empowerment, bottom-up, collaboration.” Teamstarters: How does it work? Companies allocate a monthly budget to each employee through Teamstarter. With this amount, employees can propose projects that are important to them and in which their colleagues can participate. According to studies carried out on more than 30,000 users, 82 per cent of employees say they are more committed, claims the company.

The French company has witnessed an annual growth of 400 per cent and attracted hundreds of clients, including Sopra Steria Aeroline, Razel-Bec, Avanade, and Natixis Wealth Management, to attract, motivate and retain their talents. “We are delighted to support Teamstarter, a company with which we fully share the desire to combine growth and positive impact. Teamstarter has already proven the relevance of its offer to deeply transform companies and involve employees more at a time of Big Quit and loss of meaning in work”, says Sébastien Sassolas, head of Odyssée Venture. For Benoît and Bertrand Leclercq, “Teamstarter has a vision that we share and find useful in the business world. Companies that win in the long run are those where the employees seen by their customers are happy and thus give their best. Covid, yellow vests protests, working from home, and calls for a transformation of our business models to commit to limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees … are all challenges to which Teamstarter and its teams respond. We are proud to support its development, which makes complete sense to us.” “I am convinced that success can only come from a committed team culture, as I have experienced at Eurostar and Siemens. Therefore, I believe in Teamstarter, which offers a perfect solution for strengthening company commitment, focused on action,” says Nicolas Petrovic. https://siliconcanals.com/news/startups/paris-teamstarter-bags-7m/ Odyssée Venture THE GROWTH BUSINESS SPECIALIST ODYSSEE is one of the historical actors of Private Equity in France and one of the first independent management companies of private equity funds (FIP – FCPI – FCPR) approved by the AMF.

Paris-based payment infrastructure provider Fintecture has raised €26 million in a Series A funding round. The startup is seeking to eliminate the limitations inferred in the half-century-old B2B transactions market that was built around multiple intermediaries. The new capital was provided by new investors Eurazeo, RTP Global, HEC Ventures, and Allianz Trade, alongside angel investors including Olivier Pomel, founder and CEO at Datadog, and Huey Lin, ex-PayPal exec and founding COO at Affirm, and existing investors including Target Global, Samaipata and Société Generale. The €26 million is expected to help the startup in all areas of operations. Capitalising on technological and regulatory changes in the banking industry, one being 2018’s Payment Service Directive (PSD2), Fintecture has created a series of APIs that integrate with banks and is a runner in the pack of startups angling to create the missing direct link between merchants and their customers, providing for a simpler, safer, and cost-efficient mechanisms. According to the startup the platform “enables around 7,000 businesses to collect payments. Over 250,000 buyers have already paid with Fintecture via multiple sales channels: e-commerce, in-store, remote sales, or invoicing cycle.” “B2B payments were left aside because of their high complexity, resulting in the predominance of paper-based and time-consuming solutions. To help merchants fully digitise their B2B payments, we had to start from scratch and build new methods from first principles,” says Faysal Oudmine, CEO at Fintecture. “The journey is very challenging but totally rewarding as we witnessed our merchants save considerable time, costs, and increase their sales while using our B2B transaction platform.” https://tech.eu/2022/11/03/aiming-to-be-the-transaction-platform-of-choice-for-b2b-merchants-fintecture-closes-eur26-million-round/ Ethical lender Plend raises £40m Plend, a UK “ethical lender” that is ditching the traditional credit system and is instead using open banking data for lending decisions, has raised £40 million in seed funding. Active Partners, Velocity Juice, Sivo, and the founders from Monzo, Starling Bank and Oodle Car Finance joined the round alongside existing investors Ascension, Tomahawk VC, DD Venture Capital and Haatch. Plend says that the credit system is outdated and backward, discriminating against applicants based on historic and limited data and not lending based on what they can actually afford. Instead, it uses open banking to make credit more personal and make what it claims are smarter lending decisions. Launched in July, the startup has already seen over £40 million in loan applications processed, with the loan book increasing 20% month on month. And, with Brits struggling to keep up with the changing economic climate and rising interest rates, the company is expecting to see more people turning to its platform to restructure their debts. Rob Pasco, CEO, Plend, says: “We are thrilled to be working with our newest investment partners to provide a truly ethical alternative to the broken credit scoring system that locks so many people out of the market, especially during these times of economic turbulence and rising interest rates.” https://www.finextra.com/newsarticle/41246/ethical-lender-plend-raises-40m NatWest invests £50m into fintech Vodeno Group NatWest has made a €58m (£50.4m) equity investment into Vodeno Group, the owner of Polish fintech Vodeno TechCo and Belgium-based Aion Bank to launch in the UK.
