1. Bankflip, the fintech that delights the risk departments**, raises €2.6M 💸💰**.
🚀 Bankflip, has just closed an investment round of 2.6 million euros. JME Ventures leads the dance 🕺.
But, what does Bankflip do? 🤔 It is a platform that facilitates the lives of financial services providers, helping them to collect and process all the necessary documentation and data. To put it plainly: it analyzes and processes information from sources such as the Tax Agency 😱, Social Security, or the Bank of Spain to help financial entities (EVO, WiZink…) and non-financial entities (Idealista, rastreator…) make better decisions.
With this capital injection, Bankflip has ambitious plans: to consolidate in the Spanish market, open new verticals, and expand into new markets, starting with Portugal. 🌍
Bankflip not only attracts money, but also talent and opportunities. With a robust and easy-to-integrate product focus, it is perfectly positioned to be a reference in the digitalization and management of financial, labor, and behavioral data. 💼📊

3**. Alinea: the investment app for Gen Z that conquers with Artificial Intelligence 🤖💸**
We already know that Generation Z has its own rules. As it should be, this generation in full adulthood 🙋♂️ (or at least trying to) seeks to do things differently from their predecessors 👩💼👨⚖️. Also in the financial field.
Alinea is an investment application 📉 aimed at them, at this Generation Z and especially at one of the profiles that most claim their identity: young women👱♀️.
Its value proposition is powerful: an AI copilot for investment management. After reaching 225,000 downloads and an impressive revenue rate of $1.8 million, Alinea is emerging as a key player in the personal finance field. Investors have also backed this takeoff with $3.4 million to boost the AI copilot.
🫡 Origins and Vision: founded during the pandemic, by Anam Lakhani and Eve Halimi, along with CTO Daniel Nissenbaum, it was born out of a personal need of its founders. In their student days, they faced the common challenge of not knowing how to invest their money. Literally they don't know, as they would say. Hence the mission to offer an investment platform that not only educates, but also automates the management of their investments.
🤖 Innovation with AI Copilot: with a raise of $3.4 million in funding round, Alinea is expanding horizons towards artificial intelligence. This new capital will drive the development of an AI-powered virtual assistant that will offer interactive investment help, considering factors such as the user's age, risk tolerance, and investment history.
🌟 Differentiation in the market: unlike other investment apps, such as Robinhood or Ellevest, its business model is based on a subscription of $120 per year. Moreover, the user experience has managed to make the investment process much less intimidating, a critical barrier for young profiles removed from financial environments.
📚 Social and Educational Impact: it not only aims to be an investment tool, but also a means to improve financial literacy and economic stability among women and Generation Z. With a focus on investment according to personal interests and values, it aims to position itself as a powerful platform for generating wealth for a generation still under construction.
🔮 Promising Future: despite intense competition in the fintech space, Alinea remains steadfast in its mission to capture a specific demographic segment: young investors, mostly women. With users earning an average of $80,000 a year and aged between 22 and 24 years, it is emerging as a disruptive innovator in the world of personal finance.

4**. DIGS, the collaborative platform for builders that resembles more Miró➡️ or Figma🎨 than Autocad 🏗️**
DIGS is not just any SAAS, it is a collaborative platform designed for home builders to stop dealing with piles of paperwork and complex processes. Its proposal is simple: centralize, simplify, and digitize the entire construction process, from the first brick to the last drop of paint. 🖌️
And it seems that its proposal has not only resonated deeply in the sector, but also in the pockets of investors. They have just raised a round of $7M led by heavyweight venture capital firms. DIGS plans to expand its platform and bring efficiency to works worldwide. 🌍
The result? Fewer headaches for builders and a more agile and transparent construction process. If you take a look at their interface, it resembles using miro or figma more than Autocad. Who said building a house had to be a puzzle? 🧩 With DIGS, it's almost like playing with Lego blocks! (or almost)
