Unit Finance at work
Unit Finance, an Israeli fintech startup that helps tech companies build financial features into their products, is Israel Startup Nation’s latest unicorn. The company acquired that coveted status when it hit a $1.2 billion valuation with a $100 million Series C Raise led by Jeff Horing of Insight Partners.
There are so many Israeli unicorns now – a startup with a $1 billion plus valuation – that this status is no longer really that prestigious any more. How could it be? Maybe they need to up a unicorn’s valuation to $10 billion plus. Just the other day, for example, Israeli startup Optibus, a developer of an end-to-end software platform for public transportation planning and operations, also became a unicorn when the company hit a $1.3 billion valuation after a $100 million Series D raise.
Founded in 2019, Unit Finance helps tech companies build financial features into their products: accounts, cards, payments and lending. Unit’s Dashboard and suite of APIs, SDKs, and white-labeled UIs enables developers to build financial features into their product — cards, accounts, payments and lending.
