Duna closes Series A for 30 million euros

The German-Dutch fintech Duna has successfully completed a Series A financing round of 30 million euros. The round was led by CapitalG, Alphabet's independent growth capital fund. Existing investors such as Index Ventures, Puzzle Ventures and Frank Slootman, Chairman of Snowflake, also participated again in the financing.

Duna had already closed a seed round of 10.7 million euros in May 2025 under the leadership of Index Ventures. The current Series A brings the company's total capital raised to over 40 million euros.

Founding team with Stripe experience

Duna was founded in 2023 by Duco van Lanschot and David Schreiber, both former executives at Stripe. Van Lanschot was responsible for the business in the Benelux and DACH regions, while Schreiber headed one of the largest business units with a focus on payment infrastructure. The founding team thus brings extensive experience in building scalable fintech platforms.

Digital trust infrastructure for companies

Duna's goal is to build a digital identity infrastructure for companies. The core of the vision is a "digital company passport" that can be used to securely share verified identity data and for one-click onboarding. In the long term, the aim is to create a network that makes B2B business relationships faster, more secure and globally usable.

The AI-native platform is already being used by banks, fintechs and financial institutions. Customers include Plaid, CCV (Fiserv), Moss, Bol and SVEA Bank.

Measurable efficiency gains in onboarding

According to the company, customers achieve significant efficiency gains with the platform: Onboarding time is reduced by a factor of 10.6 on average, while overall productivity increases by a factor of 4.8. This is made possible by the automation of identity checks, company verifications and compliance processes.

AI as the answer to rising compliance costs

According to co-founder Duco van Lanschot, identity verification and regulatory requirements account for up to 20 percent of banks' total costs today. Manual processes and fragmented systems also increase the risk of fraud and regulatory penalties. Duna is positioning itself as a technological alternative here: AI-supported automation should turn compliance from a cost factor into a growth driver.

Duco and David are the ideal founders to solve this problem. They bring a deep understanding of the market and the leadership to build a culturally strong, technology-driven organization.

With the fresh capital, Duna plans to further expand its platform for enterprise customers. The focus will be on the further development of AI models, high auditability and compliance with the regulatory requirements of large financial institutions. The long-term goal is a universal, secure identity solution for the digital economy - usable with just one click.
