It's official: Pleo Embedded is here! 🚀 We're launching today at Nordic Fintech Week alongside our partners at Mastercard. Together, we're sharing the stage spotlight, talking about how we can collaborate to shape the future of SMB finance. Why now? Our research shows 86% of providers struggle to differentiate in crowded markets, while 79% SMB customers lack real-time visibility into company spend and cash flow. It's no surprise that cash flow, payments, and budgeting remain constant hurdles—Pleo Embedded is built to change this. By embedding spend and cash management directly into platforms, we deliver streamlined, cost-effective solutions that let SMBs focus on growth and help providers differentiate in their markets. 👉 Read the full release and book your demo today: https://lnkd.in/dMeUmuj6

Monterro earmarks €200 million for Danish software acquisitions Swedish software investor Monterro has launched two new funds with a combined size of more than €1.7 billion. Out of this, €200 million is dedicated to Danish software companies. The flagship fund will target mature and growth-ready firms across the Nordic region, while a smaller fund will support younger and earlier-stage businesses. Denmark is considered especially attractive due to the global mindset of its startups and scaleups. “Danish companies are often prepared from the very beginning to operate internationally, and many are highly specialised in niches and verticals with significant growth opportunities,” says Gustav Lagercrantz, CEO of Monterro. Monterro established its Danish office last year, led by former Umbraco CEO Kim Sneum Madsen. The firm already owns four Danish companies: Umbraco, TimeXtender, UNIwise, and ag analytics a/s. With the backing of investors including PensionDanmark, Monterro is now positioned to expand its portfolio further. Artificial intelligence is a central focus for Monterro’s investment strategy. The firm has strengthened its AI expertise to support both current and future portfolio companies in adapting to a market where AI has become a fundamental driver of success in software.

Voi Technology eyes public share listing following strong Q2 financial performance. The micromobility operator recorded a 54% year-on-year increase in Adjusted EBITDA, a 17% increase in Adjusted EBIT, and a 50% increase in EBIT. Chief Financial Officer Mathias Hermansson told Zag that Voi is “eyeing on the horizon” listing its stock, though no concrete plans are in place. “We are eagerly looking forward to both Lime and Bolt who are rumoured to try [listing stock] as we want more companies to be fully transparent with the numbers in a reliable and standardised way. That is the only way our industry can change the perception that we created during the first six years,” said Mathias. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eEEvt6Pb
