British startup Outpost raises €15M to make international selling as simple as domestic commerce

Founded in 2024, Outpost acts as the legally liable entity for cross-border payments, tax, and compliance, so merchants don’t have to. Ribbit led the Series A. Selling across borders has always been technically possible and operationally punishing. The payments fail more often. The tax obligations multiply. The audit risk accumulates in ways that are expensive […]

Max […]

Swiss startup Seprify raises €13.4M to replace titanium dioxide with cellulose

Swiss startup Seprify has raised €13.4 million to scale a cellulose-based alternative to one of the most widely used, and increasingly banned, industrial whiteners on the planet. IKEA is backing it.
