Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • 2026 profiles still list active investing at seed through Series B.
  • Latest tracked deal remains Mocaverse's November 2024 $10 million Series U.
  • Portfolio databases still show six-to-seven companies, implying surviving brands and residual optionality.

What critics are saying

  • Public deal tracking shows no newer post-2024 investment, signaling slowed deployment.
  • No recent fundraising or hiring disclosures create opacity around capital runway and team size.
  • If fintech exits stay muted through 2027, the platform-investor model loses credibility.

What makes Nova Founders Capital unique

  • Built fintechs like CompareAsiaGroup, MoneyHero, and Samlino.dk, blending investing with company-building.
  • Focuses on comparison platforms, embedded finance, and enterprise SaaS across Asia and Europe.
  • Runs from London and Copenhagen, giving direct access to Europe and Asia founders.
