Danish fintech startup Franklin has secured $1 million USD (6.6 million DKK) in total funding from existing investors, angels, and family offices to accelerate its mission of building a payment and finance platform for e-commerce.
The round gives Franklin fresh capital to expand its team, build out the product, and help even more e-commerce businesses automate their finances and keep more of their money. “We’re incredibly grateful for the trust from our investors - new and old. This funding allows us to double down on helping small and mid-sized e-commerce brands automate their finances and keep more of their money,” — Nikolaj Bomann Mertz, CEO and Co-founder of Franklin
Since launching less than a year ago, Franklin has:
● Crossed €600,000 in ARR
● Grown to nearly 100 customers
● Doubled its customer base since end of 2024
Franklin offers payment cards with 0.5% unlimited cashback and automates expenses so e-commerce businesses can focus on growth, not admin work.
