FINMAP
FINMAP is a Kyiv-based cash-flow management and financial analytics platform built specifically for small and medium businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets but cannot justify a full ERP rollout. The product gives owners and finance managers a single live dashboard showing bank balances, payable and receivable pipelines, scenario-based cash forecasts, and customizable P&L views, with bank and payment-service integrations across Ukraine and multiple EU markets that pull transactions automatically instead of relying on manual CSV imports. FINMAP's wedge is that it is explicitly designed around the mental model of an SME founder — 'will I run out of money in six weeks?' — rather than the analyst-first model of incumbent finance tools, and that has made it one of the more successful Ukrainian fintech SaaS exports targeting the CEE region. It is a useful data point for how Ukraine's engineering talent continues to ship commercial B2B software despite the wartime backdrop.
Finom
Finom is an Amsterdam-based fintech company offering digital financial services for small and medium-sized enterprises, freelancers, and entrepreneurs across Europe. Its platform combines a business account with local IBANs, invoicing, business debit cards with cashback, payment processing, expense tracking, and accounting software integrations. The company operates in markets including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Portugal, and Austria. In 2025 Finom raised a €115 million Series C round led by AVP, in addition to non-dilutive growth capital from General Catalyst's Customer Value Fund.
