Inaam operates a mobile platform that lets users build personalised impact-focused portfolios starting from $10 a month while embedding financial-literacy content throughout the experience. The app translates investment outcomes into tangible metrics such as trees planted, renewable energy generated, and carbon emissions avoided, helping users understand real-world effects and avoid greenwashing. Its investment methodology screens companies on financial soundness, impact contribution, and leadership integrity, and even applies psychosocial assessments of management teams. Designed to feel more like Duolingo or Notion than a traditional finance tool, Inaam targets socially conscious 18- to 30-year-olds and delivers daily “financial literacy word of the day” notifications. Formally registered in 2021, the startup has grown to a 13-person team covering engineering, marketing, and investment analysis. The recent $500,000 pre-seed raise fully funds its initial launch, though the founder is considering adding a co-founder to de-risk the business ahead of the next round.

Cariqa offers a full‑stack payments and dynamic pricing platform designed specifically for EV charging, replacing fragmented apps, cards and legacy billing systems with a unified infrastructure layer. Its platform gives operators a single dashboard for real‑time control and delivers one clear price to drivers on every session. It integrates directly with existing systems and supports major charging workflows so operators can streamline without replacing their tech stack. Cariqa positions itself as Europe’s first end‑to‑end payment platform for EV charging networks and emphasizes removing intermediaries to reduce costs and increase transparency. The company is already trusted by major charge point operators including Pfalzwerke, EWE Go, Qwello, Q1 and Mer. Cariqa plans to use its new funding to expand across key European markets, grow its product and engineering teams, and onboard large operators, vehicle manufacturers and fleet providers. Cariqa offers a consumer-facing marketplace that directly connects electric vehicle (EV) drivers with charge point operators (CPOs) to deliver transparent pricing and easier access to charging. The platform launched in September 2024 and already partners with CPOs across Europe, providing access to over 420,000 charging stations in 30 European countries. Key features include optimal charge point discovery, EV routing, and the option to connect the EV for more detailed consumption models and alerts. Cariqa’s product aims to address low CPO utilization—reported as low as 3%—and the margin pressure CPOs face when selling energy through intermediaries. The company plans to use its recent funding to develop the marketplace further and initiate a broader rollout across Europe. CEO Issam Tidjani frames the mission as creating a fairer and more efficient charging market that boosts CPO utilization and delivers transparent prices to drivers.
