  • AVP, the investor leading this funding round, manages over $2 billion in assets and focuses on high-growth technology companies.

  • The demand for effective cash management tools has surged due to high interest rates and economic uncertainties, prompting CFOs to prioritize cash management and forecasting.

  • Despite the pressing need for cash management solutions, a significant 80% of mid-market firms still rely on manual Excel-based processes, which are inefficient and time-consuming.

  • Warda Shaheen, General Partner at AVP, expressed enthusiasm for Agicap's potential, highlighting its strong technology, product offerings, and rapid growth trajectory.

  • Agicap's clients manage an average of 15 bank accounts each, which complicates cash management across subsidiaries, countries, and currencies.

  • Agicap, a treasury management platform based in Lyon, has successfully secured €45 million (approximately $48 million) in a Series C funding round led by AVP, a global venture capital firm.

  • The new funding will primarily be allocated to enhancing product offerings, expanding the team, and increasing sales and customer support efforts, particularly outside of France, which currently generates over 50% of Agicap's revenue.

  • Since its previous Series B funding in 2021, Agicap has experienced remarkable growth, increasing its revenue sevenfold and expanding into several regions including DACH, Italy, the UK, Ireland, and Spain.

  • Currently, Agicap serves around 8,000 clients, primarily mid-sized companies with annual revenues between €5 million and €500 million, and emphasizes its focus on cash flow management.
