News of the Day

Amsterdam-based fintech Finom has raised a €115 million ($133 million) Series C round just weeks after securing $105 million in non-dilutive growth funding from General Catalyst, bringing its total funding to $346 million. Targeting Europe’s 26 million small and medium-sized businesses, Finom offers an all-in-one platform combining banking, invoicing, lending, and AI-powered accounting tools. Backed by investors like AVP and Headline, Finom plans to use the new equity to fuel strategic acquisitions, geographic expansion, and product growth—while continuing to run lean by automating internal operations with AI agents. Though it lacks full banking licenses in most markets, its bet on legacy bank displacement and strong SMB demand has attracted investor confidence despite tighter fundraising conditions.

Most car factories, like Ford or Tesla, reportedly build one car per minute. Isn't it time we do that for houses? BOXABL believes they have the potential to disrupt a massive and outdated trillion-dollar building construction market by bringing assembly line automation to the home industry. And they're not just dreaming big; they're delivering: (i) initial prototype order delivered to SpaceX in 2020, (ii) subsequent project order of 156 homes from the Department of Defense completed in 2021, (iii) now, after implementing what was learned from those prior orders, actively delivering to developers and consumers. Like other game-changing companies, you have a chance to invest in BOXABL’s offering at just $0.80/share. All BOXABL crowdfunding will close on June 24th.*

people ask me all the time how to get into VC.
you either have money, or you have deals. ideally both, but you must have at least one.
if you have deals, you can usually find the money. if you have money, you can usually find deals.
