Is AI already an essential tool for any business, or is it still just hype? More importantly, should you invest your time and resources in adopting it? To help you stay ahead, we’re sharing the latest statistics on ChatGPT transactions among our customers. Get the insights you need to make informed decisions about AI adoption 🤖 📍+100% in new ChatGPT users Finom clients using ChatGPT paid features doubled between February 2024 and February 2025. 📍The highest ChatGPT usage comes from Germany, France, and Italy Our early adopters primarily live in Western Europe, with Germany being the absolute leader. 📍IT and consulting sectors lead the adoption According to our data, software engineers lead in ChatGPT usage. Then comes consulting – business consulting first, IT second. 📍Small, robust businesses pave the way The overwhelming majority of our clients who actively use ChatGPT are small companies that have been in the business for a couple of years already. Freelancers are a strong second.

We know getting funding isn’t easy for entrepreneurs. Despite having lower debt amounts overall, they often get rejected for loans and credit cards. Sounds a bit unfair, doesn’t it? This month, we’re changing that narrative. We’re entering the game with on-demand funding designed specifically for small businesses, offering: 📍 From €2,000 to €50,000 in funding 📍 Flexible six-month repayment period 📍 No penalties for early repayment 📍 Instant decision-making through our secure AI-powered algorithm Instead of traditional risk assessment procedures that are often biased against small businesses and freelancers, we analyze our clients’ transaction history. The more they use their account, the more funding they may get. We’re proud to launch our very first credit line where Finom was once born, in the Netherlands. After the pilot phase ends, we plan on giving access to the credit lines to all Finom customers in the Netherlands who have been with us for more than 3 months and are eligible to apply. Click the link to learn more: https://lnkd.in/drbJ7tCg To all our beloved clients across Europe: we’re working hard to bring you on-demand funding, too! We’ll launch as soon as the Dutch pilot is completed and we’re sure everything is fine-tuned. We’ll keep you posted! Can’t wait to support our clients’ innovative projects the best we can.

Last week in Amsterdam, we got a glimpse into the future 🤖 AI-msterdam 2025, an AI-focused event organized by Northzone, Northlane, and INGEN HOUSZ, brought together some of the brightest minds in the industry. Of course, we couldn’t miss it. Our co-founder and Chief Venture Officer, Ivo Dimitrov, joined a panel discussion on practical AI adoption, sharing his insights on AI implementation. As he put it, “The real challenge isn’t training the models – it’s figuring out how to apply them effectively.” Alongside Max Welling (CuspAI), Tim Salimans (Google Brain), Dhruv Ghulati (Uber), Kim Verkooij (Solvimon), Marili 't Hooft - Bolle(Trengo), and other brilliant forward-thinking minds in AI, he explored the key challenges in AI adoption – and, more importantly, how to overcome them. A huge thank you to everyone who made AI-msterdam possible! We’re proud to support the mission of bringing safe, ethical, and responsible AI to teams worldwide.

“People who can wake up at 5 AM and go for a run are capable of achieving incredible things” 🚀 That’s what one of our founders, Yakov Novikov, says. And no, we don’t only hire early-bird athletes. But a passion for sport often goes hand in hand with enthusiasm and determination — and that’s exactly what all FINOMenals have in common! We’re happy to celebrate victories not just at work, but in our personal lives too. And over the past couple of weeks, there’s been plenty. Running different distances in Paphos and Limassol, many of our teammates smashed their personal records — whether it was a half marathon, a full marathon, or a 10K. Congratulations! And of course, as we all know, balance must be respected. So after a good run, our athletes love to throw a pizza party 🍕

VCs say Finom is one of the top CFO startups to watch 😉 Recently, Sifted spoke with investors from Project A, Balderton Capital, 4Founders Capital , EQT Ventures, and other leading voices. They highlighted 12 tech CFO startups worth keeping an eye on — and we made the list! Last year, CFO tech stack startups raised nearly €1B across 72 deals. We contributed to that momentum with our own €50M raise — one of the largest funding rounds in the Netherlands in 2024. And we’re glad to see investor interest continuing into 2025, with startups in the space already raising €115M this year. We’re grateful for the support of some of the brightest minds in fintech. Together, we’re pushing the industry forward faster than ever, and we’re proud to be among those leading the way! Even after all these years, every time our achievements are recognised, it still feels like winning a Guinness World Record. Like in this picture, after we actually did it 😏
