YPOG advises Moss on €75 million Series B financing round

Berlin – A YPOG team co-led by Johannes Janning and Benjamin Ullrich comprehensively advised Berlin-based FinTech Moss on its Series B financing round with New York-based lead investor Tiger Global. The round has a total volume of €75 million which increases Moss’ total funding to over €130 million. Only six months after its latest financing round Moss has now reached a €500 million company valuation. Thus, the payment and credit card platform is on its way to achieving unicorn status in less than two and a half years since it was officially founded. A-Star joined as additional investor, existing shareholders of Moss also co-invested, including Valar Ventures, Cherry Ventures and Global Founders Capital.

Moss is a technology-enabled expense and financial management solution. With smart corporate credit cards, digital invoice management, and automated accounting, Moss allows companies to manage all of their spending easily and transparently. The company’s mission is to digitize the expense management of small and medium-sized businesses and help them tap into their full potential. Since its inception, Moss has issued more than 20,000 physical and virtual credit cards and processed over 250,000 transactions. Furthermore, the team has doubled and the number of customers quadrupled since its last financing round in August last year. The new funding will be used for further expansion, staff growth and product development and will facilitate entering the Netherlands and the UK market.
