The equity funding was led by A15 Venture Capital general partner Karim Beshara, with participation from Antler and a consortium of business angels.
Meanwhile, Tapline’s non-dilutive capital debt solutions for B2B SaaS and subscription firms will now be funded via a debt facility provided by UK lender WinYield.
According to a company statement, the facility offers several “key advantages” such as “lower operational costs, WinYield complementary credit engine, credit transfer, and low equity capital requirements when growing the facility”.
WinYield director Fabricio Mercier says the deal will allow Tapline to “stay capital-light and focus on the development of their technology”.
The values of both the equity raise and debt facility have not been disclosed.
Founded in 2021, Tapline leverages AI-driven credit technology to provide flexible funding solutions, offering both early and later-stage companies access to up to €2 million in funding.
The cash injection has been earmarked to enhance Tapline’s platform, scale operations, and drive upcoming expansion plans, which are to be “announced soon”. The company currently supports clients in Germany, Poland, Estonia, and the Czech Republic.
