- Ameetee, a fintech startup, has raised $1 million in seed funding to launch a B2B platform for securitizing shares in private companies.
- The platform aims to provide financial institutions with a universal solution to offer their customers investment opportunities in private companies in the form of transferable securities.
Ameetee, a fintech startup, has raised a $1 million seed round to launch the first B2B fintech platform that provides financial institutions with a universal solution to offer their customers investment in private companies in the form of transferable securities. Since its launch in 2023, the platform’s turnover has reached $12 million, Ameetee signed contracts with several institutional clients, and offered investment opportunities in companies such as Bayzat, Klarna, and Alto Pharmacy. The funding was backed by a group of business angels, including Jamie Karraker, founder of Alto Pharmacy unicorn, and will be used to develop a marketplace where these securities can be traded and to launch the first educational course for banks and brokers lacking knowledge on how to invest in private companies.
Ameetee, founded by a team of investment professionals with 15-20 years of experience each, including Mila Khrapchenko, business angel and investor in TechAviv fund, is the first company to democratize access to shares of private companies and other private market assets, targeting financial institutions rather than individuals. While online investment platforms typically trigger capital outflow from financial institutions, the fintech startup Ameetee provides them with a ‘white-label’ solution, enabling financial institutions to seamlessly integrate Ameetee’s opportunities into their product lineup and present them to their clients under their own brand, expanding their offerings without the need of hiring additional staff.
The online investment platform market is experiencing significant growth and is anticipated to surge to $30.42 billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 16%. Ameetee directs its efforts towards the development of the FaaS (Fintech-as-a-Service) segment of the fintech market, which is anticipated to show substantial growth and is predicted to reach $949 billion by 2030. This growth is attributed to the increasing demand for digital financial services and the integration between innovative fintech startups and legacy financial organizations.
