Seapoint raises €7.5M and opens to all UK and Irish founders

April 21, 2026 – 9:34 am

The Dublin and London-based fintech, founded by ex-Stripe and ex-Tide engineers, has processed over 100,000 transactions and 40,000 invoices across 80+ early customers. Its €7.5M seed round, led by 13books, brings total funding to €10M and opens the platform to any startup in the UK and Ireland.

Seapoint

Seapoint, the AI-powered financial operations platform for startups, has raised €7.5 million in a seed round led by 13books, with participation from Ventures Together, Portfolio Ventures, and more than 40 angel investors. Frontline Ventures and Tapestry VC, which backed the company’s €2.5 million pre-seed round in September 2025, also returned. Total funding now stands at €10 million.

The raise coincides with the platform going fully live for any startup founder in the UK and Ireland, previously available only through a waiting list.

Angel Investors

The angel list carries weight. Claire Hughes Johnson, former COO of Stripe, George Bevis, founder of business banking startup Tide, and Des Traynor, co-founder of Intercom, are among those backing the company. The pre-seed round had already attracted former COOs from Stripe, Revolut, Tide, and Tines.

Problem Seapoint Solves

The problem Seapoint is solving is familiar to anyone who has run finance at a company between seed and Series B:

• Accounts sit in one place.
• Invoices arrive by email and pile up unpaid.
• Payroll runs through a separate system.
• The accountant’s monthly report arrives three weeks after month-end with no vendor-level breakdown.
• Idle cash earns nothing in a standard business account.

Solution

Seapoint’s approach combines financial connectivity with integrated financial products:

• Financial Connectivity: Link your bank accounts, Gmail, and accounting software, and the platform categorises every transaction by vendor name in real time and syncs with Xero.
• Integrated Financial Products: Multi-currency business accounts, a money market treasury account (powered through Wealthkernel and BlackRock money market funds), and virtual team cards, all native to the platform.

The company claims a founder with £400,000 in the treasury account could earn around £14,000 in interest over a year, money that would otherwise sit idle at near-zero rates in a standard account.
