Featured News

WeeFin, the innovative FinTech company, announced today that it has secured a new funding round of €25 million.

This financial injection comes 15 months after WeeFin’s Series A and is led by BlackFin Capital Partners, a prominent European FinTech fund. The round also saw participation from existing investors IRIS, Asterion Ventures, and Ring Capital.

WeeFin, founded in 2021 by former R&D product manager at BNP Paribas, Grégoire Hug, along with Marion Aubert and Guillaume Klech, has quickly become a pivotal player in the FinTech sector. The company provides a comprehensive SaaS platform that centralises data essential for deploying and managing sophisticated sustainability strategies. These include aspects ranging from ESG to impact and climate initiatives, highlighting the firm’s commitment to advancing sustainable finance.

The fresh capital will be employed to further refine WeeFin’s offerings. This includes the enhancement of existing product functionalities, such as data management, the launch of new modules like a solution dedicated to ESG performance attribution, and the integration of new data sources. These enhancements are designed to bolster regulatory compliance and augment client support for more informed investment decisions.

WeeFin has shown remarkable growth, with international sales jumping from 0% to 30% and Annual Recurring Revenues (ARRs) increasing fivefold in the last two years. With plans to continue expanding across Europe, WeeFin aims to penetrate new markets, including Luxembourg and Italy, and has recently inaugurated an office in the UK. Moreover, the company has doubled its workforce in the past two years and anticipates hiring over 100 new employees within the next three years.

Julien Creuzé, Partner at BlackFin, and Chloé Novène, Investment Manager at BlackFin, praised WeeFin’s leadership and vision, expressing enthusiasm for the company’s future prospects, particularly in the UK. Grégoire Hug, CEO and co-founder of WeeFin, reiterated the importance of sustainability in today’s financial landscape, stating, “With BlackFin Capital Partners as one of our investors, WeeFin has the support it needs to make a definitive impact in Europe. This Series B not only confirms this vision but also validates our clients’ trust and the relevance of our platform, which enables them to address their challenges at scale.”

In terms of previous investments, WeeFin’s Series A had successfully set the stage for this subsequent funding round, demonstrating strong investor confidence and a solid track record of growth and innovation.
