VAI Trade is a fintech startup founded in 2017 and based in Berlin, Germany. The company operates within the Financial Services and Fintech industries, focusing on enabling small and medium-sized businesses to make B2B investment purchases with greater financial flexibility.
The company offers a streamlined approach by pre-paying suppliers on behalf of their clients, who then repay the invoice over a period of up to 180 days. This model offers an attractive alternative to traditional bank loans, characterized by a simple, paperless, and cost-effective process without the need for extensive meetings.
VAI Trade emphasizes innovation combined with quality service, fostering a high level of teamwork to ensure a user-friendly experience. This compelling value proposition caught the attention of Berliner Volksbank Ventures, resulting in a €5.50M Seed Round investment in late 2017. The company’s approach aligns well with current business needs, positioning it well for future growth and scaling opportunities.
