Payhawk Becomes First Ever Bulgarian Unicorn After Raising $100M in a Round Led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Valuing the Company at $1bn
LONDON-Tuesday 1 March 2022 [ AETOS Wire ]
The additional funding extends Payhawk’s Series B round to $215m. This comes only three months after the first wave of Payhawk’s Series B, which was the second largest Series B for a B2B company in Central and Eastern Europe
The company has raised an additional $100m in a round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners at a valuation of $1bn. As a result, Payhawk becomes the first ever Bulgarian unicorn
The previous round in November 2021 valued the company at $570m. After continuing to double its annualized recurring revenue every quarter, the valuation is set to hit $1bn
New investors joining the round are Sprints Capital, Endeavor Catalyst, HubSpot Ventures and Jigsaw VC. All existing investors including Greenoaks, QED Partners and Earlybird Digital East are participating
The fintech will use the funds to further grow its product team, double down on its efforts to build best-in-class enterprise features, and expand the sales and marketing team for new market penetration in 2022
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Payhawk, the payment and expense solution with offices in London, Sofia, Berlin, and Barcelona, has raised an additional $100m to extend its Series B round to $215m. The Series B extension means that the company hits a valuation of $1bn, making Payhawk the first ever Bulgarian company to achieve unicorn status. The company plans to become a catalyst for the Bulgarian startup ecosystem, and continue to attract and retain the top 1% of talent in the market.
Lightspeed Venture Partners -- a leading global venture capital firm with over $10.5bn under management and prior investments in companies like Affirm, Grafana, Faire, FTX, Personio, Snap, and others -- leads the funding extension, with Sprints Capital, Endeavor Catalyst, HubSpot Ventures and Jigsaw VC also joining the round.
The additional funding comes only three months after Payhawk announced the initial tranche of Series B funding in November 2021 of $115m1, and less than a year after its $20m Series A round in April 2021. With the extra funds, Payhawk now has the financial clout required to aggressively expand its presence in the mid-size enterprise market and continue its ambitious global expansion plans.
Currently, finance teams still do a significant amount of manual work due to multiple disconnected tools for cards, payments, invoices, and expense management. Payhawk reduces this by combining those key elements in a single platform. The company also provides an industry-first 3% cashback on card payments up to the full subscription amount, enabling customers to drive their subscription costs to zero, while benefiting from enterprise-grade software.
Payhawk emerges as the leading platform for large SMEs and enterprise customers, especially those with a multinational footprint. The company serves businesses in 30 countries across a variety of industries, currencies and payment methods.
The fresh capital will be used to further grow Payhawk’s product team by adding 60 additional senior software engineers in Sofia from the top 1% of the market. This is with the aim of meeting growing customer demand for new features like mileage tracking and per diem, in light of the incremental return of business travel.e. Other existing features for enterprise customers will be extended too, including Oracle Netsuite integration, Subscription Management and Budgets.
Building on the momentum from the first influx of Series B capital, Payhawk is set to open offices in Amsterdam and Paris in March, and in New York in September. The company’s headcount is also set to triple from 100 to more than 300 by the end of this year, with the extra funds set to fuel a renewed sales and marketing push for further market expansion.
Arsham Memarzadeh, Partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners, said:
“Payhawk is more than just spend management software. It’s a one-stop-shop for finance teams to consolidate the previously disparate systems required to spend, track, process, and budget corporate funds. After getting to know the team for over a year, we've been blown away with their pace of product development, building the most comprehensive solution in the market in less than four years.”
Hristo Borisov, CEO and Founder of Payhawk, said:
“We always knew that we could build a big company if we addressed a significant problem in a large market. The size of the opportunity still drives our growth and ambition today. Every employee that deals with company payments feels that there should be a better way to do it, but this huge problem was never tackled by a strong product team with hardcore engineering background. This is what Payhawk brings to the market.
“Becoming the first unicorn in Bulgaria is a huge testament to the hard work and resilience of our team over the last three and a half years. We are just at the beginning of our journey, and we cannot wait to continue reinventing how businesses manage their payments.”
About Payhawk
Payhawk is a financial platform that combines expense management, payments and invoice management in one solution and therefore works as a one-stop-shop for finance teams. Its customer base consists of a mix of fast-growing and mature multinational companies like LuxAir, Lotto24, Viking Life, Gtmhub, Flink, MacPaw and By Miles. Payhawk is also leading the digital transformation agenda of companies like A.T.U in Germany, where the product has replaced cash with company cards at more than 550 branches. The fintech is headquartered in London and was founded in 2018 by Hristo Borisov and Boyko Karadzhov and later joined by Konstantin Dzhengozov. It is supported by renowned investors such as Greenoaks, QED Investors, Earlybird Digital East and Eleven Ventures.
1 The round was announced at $112m, and an additional $3m was added in November 2021

Shipsy raises US$25 million in Series B to accelerate global expansion, product innovation
Dubai, United Arab Emirates-Tuesday 1 March 2022 [ AETOS Wire ]
Shipsy, a leading SaaS-based smart logistics management platform provider, has raised US$25 million in a Series B round co-led by A91 Partners and Z3 Partners along with existing investors Info Edge and Sequoia Capital India's Surge.
The company plans to use the funding to continue growing its stronghold in the Middle East, India and Southeast Asian markets while accelerating global expansion into new markets such as Europe and US.
The funding comes in the wake of a performing freight and logistics market in UAE valued at US$19 billion in 2020, which is expected to reach US$31 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of over 8% fueled by the country’s highly competitive and effective logistics infrastructure.
UAE’s domestic logistics industry has also experienced sustained growth accelerated by its growing e-commerce market, which is forecast to expand at a CAGR of 19% by 2023.
To kick start its Middle East expansion, the company launched its operations in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) – a major hub for exports, imports, and re-exports - in June 2021 as part of its strategy to further expand its footprints in the Middle East by 2025.
Driving innovation
In addition, Shipsy will also be using the funds to drive rapid technological innovation with a greater focus on enhancing sustainability outcomes in the global logistics industry and their platform's AI, Machine Learning and Blockchain capabilities.
"We are thrilled to partner with seasoned investors with a common vision to transform the global logistics industry using a technology-first approach. Their continued support strengthens our mission of enabling customers to achieve sustainable business and logistics excellence. It takes us closer to our goal of becoming the de-facto logistics operating system globally, such that every shipment being delivered, whether to a consumer or to a business, whether domestically or internationally, is powered by Shipsy," says Soham Chokshi, CEO and Co-Founder Shipsy.
"Shipsy's technology offering enables them to be the single partner of choice for enterprises who are transforming their logistics operations. Large category-leading customers have been thrilled at the impact of Shipsy in their operations. We look forward to partnering with them as they become a leader in logistics software" says Kaushik Anand, Partner at A91 Partners
Growing partnerships
Shipsy's continuous focus on enabling businesses across retail, manufacturing and logistics to provide their customers transparency, flexibility and convenience is a key factor driving its growth.
"Shipsy is building a comprehensive customer-first SaaS company servicing a critical need in shipping, freight and the entire global supply chain. Shipsy's addressable market has quadrupled post-COVID. We are excited to partner with Soham, Dhruv, Harsh and team as they build Shipsy into a world-class software company," Gautam Patel, Managing Partner, Z3Partners.
We have been backing Shipsy from a very early stage and have been delighted to see them growing rapidly over the past couple of years. They have demonstrated significant impact on the supply chain and logistics industry. We believe in their mission and foresee them becoming one of the largest global logistics SaaS ventures that's built in India," says Sanjeev Bikhchandani, Founder and Executive Vice Chairman of Info Edge.
"This will help us build a much stronger product roadmap that will continue to make our customers successful by helping them further reduce logistics costs and drive an unparalleled customer experience. We will also continue to invest in our people to form a world-class A player team that would make us the leading logistics SaaS company in the world," Chokshi added.
This round comes on the back of Shipsy having raised a Series A funding of US$6 million in 2020 led by Sequoia Capital India's Surge and Info Edge. In 2021, to support a growing customer base in the Middle East, Shipsy established its regional HQs in Dubai and, more recently, in Indonesia for its Southeast Asian customers. The company also recorded a growth rate of 2.5x in its ARR and grew its customer base by 75% last year.

Bluehole Publishes an Article on the World’s Thinnest Ceramic Coil Vape Pod Solution, FEELM Air
SHENZHEN, China-Monday 28 February 2022 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- China’s leading vaping media, Bluehole New Consumption, today publishes an article on the world’s thinnest ceramic coil vape pod solution, FEELM Air.
Here below is the full article in English:
"E-cigarettes look simple, but are actually very sophisticated. Small alterations in structure and technique could bring profound changes to the product experience"--- Christ Lee, Product Manager of FEELM Air.
On Jan 18, 2022, FEELM, the flagship atomization tech brand belonging to SMOORE, has unveiled the world's thinnest vape pod solution with ceramic coil, FEELM Air in London. It has been 6 years since the launch of first generation of FEELM vaping solution. Compared with previous generation, the thickness of FEELM Air is reduced by 25% to 7.8 mm. It features 7 major breakthroughs in vaping experience, including ultimate design, improved harm reduction performance, authentic flavor reproduction and joyful interactive experience. This solution is expected to lead a new trend of ultra-slim smart device in the global vaping industry.
As the world's largest vaping manufacturer, SMOORE has conducted a number of global consumer researches by virtue of its worldwide customer base and partnership with world's leading vape brands. With in-depth insights into consumer behaviors, SMOORE found that the ultra-slim device will be the future of the industry.
As a new tech gadget, the vaping device nowadays has been accepted as a consumer electronics product, more than a tobacco product. “The evolution of mobile phones, laptops, tablets, and all other consumer electronics shows a trend towards miniaturization and sophistication,” said Christ Lee, Product Manager of FEELM Air. “Based on our understanding on consumer electronics, we came up with the idea of making an ultra-slim closed system vaping product.”
Bringing the Idea into Being
It is feasible to create the world’s thinnest vape pod solution only under the premise of developing a compact but powerful ceramic coil. Therefore, FEELM has involved over 500 scientists for more than 2,500 days to bring such heater into being.
FEELM has overcome a series of technical challenges during the development. Most of them come from the requirement for better performance while the available space in the 7.5 mm device is very limited.
Above all, it is challenging to design a smooth airflow passage in such compact pod since e-liquid and the heater have already occupied certain space, thus FEELM has applied Computational Fluid Dynamics to optimize its airflow passage structure.
Moreover, it has higher requirement for the forming technique to make an Ultra-slim Bionic Film Ceramic Coil. FEELM Air has leveraged Nanoscale Vacuumed Film-forming Technique to make the heating film of the coil distributed more evenly. Besides, it has the world’s first 7-layer composite heating film made of bionic materials, with each layer leading to a correspondingly enhanced functionality.
In order to utilize the compact space, FEELM also managed to create the world's smallest linear motor with an ultra-long lifespan of 150 million cycles along with suppliers, thereby facilitating the technological innovations of the supply chain.
Meanwhile, FEELM Air is equipped with the industry’s first super power management system “TOPOWER™”, which allows 10-minute charge for 8-hour vaping. Its energy density is increased by 20% and battery life is increased by 30%. More importantly, FEELM Air improves an overall harm reduction performance by 80%, compared with last generation.
Changing the Vaping Industry
As a revolutionary vaping solution, FEELM Air could reverse the underestimation of the technological sophistication of vaping devices, convincing the public that electronic atomization products are high-tech innovations.
In a bid to develop this cutting-edge vaping solution, SMOORE has been fully committed to fundamental research. Since 2015, SMOORE has been acquiring global talents from different scientific backgrounds, including aerosol science, engineering thermophysics, biomedicine, and Materials chemistry; and has established 15 research centers around the world for the cross-disciplinary research on atomization science.
Moreover, in December 2020, FEELM introduced the world's first Taste Evaluation Model, establishing a scientific system to evaluate vaping experience. In 2022, FEELM sensory evaluation team has further developed the model. Now, the second generation of FEELM Taste Evaluation Model is composed of 5 dimensions, namely Aroma, Vapor Property, Impact, Taste/Mouthfeel, and Aftertaste, with 65 specific indexes.
Furthermore, FEELM Air has improved the intelligence of electronic atomization products, thereby leading a revolution of human-device interaction in the industry. Just like the debut of Siri on iPhone 4s in 2011, it is the industry's first to adopt a linear motor in vaping devices. In contrast to traditional rotor motors, FEELM Air's linear motor can provide more delicate and customized vibration modes for different scenarios, such as charging and puffing.
"The industry is already full of homogenous products," said Steven Yang, Senior Director of FEELM R&D. "FEELM attempts to distinguish itself from others by taking a differentiation strategy to develop an ultra-slim and exquisite solution. Committed to minimalist aesthetic and ultimate design, we benchmark ourselves against Apple in the consumer electronics sector." As a consequence, FEELM Air has been granted "Silver Winner" of MUSE Design Awards 2021.
For years, FEELM has focused on exploring more human-device interactions on vaping devices. According to Steven Yang, future FEELM products will adopt more advanced algorithms to enable intelligent heating and temperature control, so as to match with different e-liquids for better flavor reproduction and further improve harm reduction performance by preventing localized over-heating.
The Future with FEELM
As an industry pioneer, FEELM has been taking the lead in conceiving the next generation of product form. Since the launch of the first black metallic film ceramic coil in 2016, FEELM has a significant impact on the research and manufacturing of closed system vaping products, ushering in a new era of ceramic coil.
As Steven Yang said, the technology strategy of FEELM is commercializing a generation with the next generation in development and a cutting-edge technology as backup. Early in 2015, FEELM has already initiated the development of FEELM Air and its Ultra-slim Bionic Film Ceramic Coil.
FEELM Air is the just the beginning of FEELM's self-revolution. Moving forward, FEELM will expedite the launch of new technologies, aiming to introduce at least a new one every year. As the future vaping market becomes more segmented, FEELM is going to cater for diversified market segments and different customer groups by expanding its technology portfolio.

“The objective of Delta-Q’s compatibility program is to help our partners increase awareness around the quality and reliability of their battery or BMS,” said Steve Blaine, Co-CEO and EVP of Engineering and Quality at Delta-Q. “We’re excited to continue our long-standing collaboration with our partners and further demonstrate the value of our combined solutions.”
As part of the program, battery and BMS partners receive a “Charged by Delta-Q” marking for use on their products, packaging and marketing materials, which they can utilize as they look to grow their revenue streams and target new industries or regions that Delta-Q currently operates in. The logo signifies to OEMs that the battery or BMS is compatible with Delta-Q’s chargers. During the replacement process, the program will allow the aftermarket to look for the “Charged by Delta-Q” mark on a battery or BMS.
Participating manufacturers will be included in a comprehensive table of product types on Delta-Q’s website. They will also be participating in the ZAPI GROUP’s virtual conference hosted on April 5-7, 2022.
