01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company does
Revenew is a fintech startup founded by ex-Checkout.com duo Nicolas Thomson (former head of product) and Ben Foster (former SVP of engineering), with a team spread across the UK, Germany and Amsterdam. It positions itself as a 'growth partner for the platform economy': an all-in-one solution helping platform businesses like Uber or Spotify manage payments, optimize margins, streamline financial operations and improve the end-to-end customer experience — through payment-profitability visibility, automated reconciliation of PSP and payment-network fees, and elimination of loss-making payments. It emerged from stealth in August 2024 with a $4.55 million seed round led by Fika Ventures, with Dash Fund and TTV Capital. Note: this is a brand-new company with no failure evidence whatsoever — it may not belong in a failure museum.
