Fin-Tech and Big Data analytics company Goals101 has raised $3.5 million in Pre-Series A round of funding from global venture capital firm Nexus Venture Partners. With this round of funding, Nexus also becomes a significant minority stakeholder in Goals101.
“We partnered with Nexus as they understand the metrics of this business & have a global view on their investments. The last two years of working with superbly talented minds across our Banking Partners has been fabulous. Post the round, which was a couple of months ago, the company has expanded heavily on its technology & data science capabilities and has also expanded to other potent geographies namely Malaysia, UAE, Qatar, South Africa and Kenya,” said Visham Sikand, Founder and MD, Goals101.
“We believe that Goals101 is a technology disrupter redefining next generation intelligent banking powered by transaction behaviour, location and social intelligence. Given the team and technology combination at Goals101, it’s not surprising that they have already made a mark in six countries with several banks in a matter of only two years. We are excited to partner them as they embark on their next phase of expansion and growth,” said Sameer Brij Verma, Managing Director, Nexus Venture Partners.
