Alpa is a London-based fintech platform purpose-built for the hospitality sector, co-founded by Anton Soulier and Jean-François Moy. The software ingests point-of-sale data, banking information and native connections to food and beverage suppliers to generate a live operational P&L, eliminating the weeks-long wait for month-end accounting reports. Designed for operators rather than accountants, it automates reconciliation and bookkeeping workflows and applies AI-driven classification to surface actionable insights on profitability throughout the month. Research cited by the company shows that 79% of restaurants want real-time data yet 27% cannot track basic KPIs, underscoring the market need Alpa targets. Positioning itself as the hospitality industry’s operational finance layer, the company blends vertical fintech, automation and supply-chain connectivity to improve decision-making and control. With fresh capital, Alpa plans to deepen its financial data infrastructure, expand native supplier integrations and enhance AI-powered features, investing primarily in product and engineering talent. The $3.5 million injection is the company’s first external funding, and no revenue or user metrics have been disclosed.

Founded on 1 October 2024 by Clémence Luc and Max Lemasquerier, 10% offers a mobile application that reimburses users a portion of their everyday purchases and lets brands run loyalty campaigns without intermediaries. The app positions itself as an infrastructure for customer intelligence, giving brands end-to-end control of loyalty budgets, access to consolidated multi-retailer data, and direct consumer relationships compliant with privacy regulations. In its first twelve months, the platform amassed more than 300,000 users who now scan a product every second, and it has signed 26 partner brands including Andros, Activia, Volvic and Colgate. The company argues that large CPG players have lost direct contact with consumers and seeks to restore it through its cashback mechanism. Investors and early corporate clients describe the product as a timely innovation for the fast-moving consumer-goods sector. With fresh capital in hand, the team plans to keep expanding the technology, onboard additional brands and scale user acquisition across Europe. This marks the startup’s first external financing, giving it runway to build out its loyalty and data platform.

Gridware is a San-Francisco-based grid-technology company whose pole-mounted Gridscope devices capture mechanical, electrical, and environmental data to enable Active Grid Response (AGR). Tens of thousands of these sensors are already installed on U.S. distribution poles, and the firm’s utility partners collectively serve roughly 40% of American electricity customers. The system pinpoints the location and cause of faults, helping crews respond faster and, in some cases, avoid failures altogether. Early deployments include Duquesne Light Company, which rolled out 1,700 additional devices after a successful pilot and subsequently won a PUF innovation award. With the fresh capital, Gridware plans to expand manufacturing capacity, scale deployment operations, and hire across hardware, firmware, software, data science, and machine-learning teams. The company is also preparing for international pilots in the United Kingdom and continental Europe. Ultimately, Gridware aims to help utilities worldwide improve reliability without expensive system overhauls.
