Aria offers an embedded invoice financing platform that buys suppliers’ invoices and embeds financing via a single API into marketplaces, ERP systems, and vertical SaaS, enabling suppliers to be paid immediately while buyers retain usual payment terms. The platform handles identity checks, credit assessments, collections, insurance and payments, and adapts to local rules, currencies and payment methods across Europe. Since launching in 2020 it has financed over €1.5 billion in invoices and reports a default rate below 0.1%. Aria financed 1.7 million invoice advances in 2025 and over 1.1 million more so far in 2026, and currently powers more than 70 European B2B marketplaces and freelance platforms, including Malt and Job&Talent. The company plans to expand its presence in sectors with acute late-payment problems such as transportation, manufacturing and construction. Its positioning emphasizes embedding infrastructure (one API, no redirects or separate signups) to increase predictability of cash flow for SMB suppliers.

Founded in 2022, Blockbrain develops a responsible AI platform that lets enterprises build digital “knowledge twins” capturing employee expertise, processes, and decision logic. These Knowledge Bots deliver institutional know-how across teams while minimising hallucinations through a security-first, ISO 27001-certified, GDPR-compliant architecture that meets EU AI Act requirements. The system’s multi-model design avoids vendor lock-in and keeps sensitive data under customer control. Commercial traction is strong: Blockbrain reported five-fold revenue growth in 2025 and counts Bosch, Roland Berger, Kärcher, and other regulated-sector leaders as clients. An independent Giesecke+Devrient benchmark awarded the solution 92/105 points, outperforming rival enterprise AI offerings. With fresh capital, the company will deepen investment in security, governance, and compliance, add specialised AI agents with fallback mechanisms, and scale EU & UK go-to-market by hiring Forward-Deployed AI Engineers. Total funding now stands at €23 million, positioning Blockbrain to address structural talent shortages and productivity gaps in knowledge-intensive industries.
