Husk, a Belgian FinTech company focused on building a modern financial platform for startups, has secured €1m in a pre-seed funding round.
The funding was backed by Techstars, Birdhouse Ventures, NewSchool.vc, and several angel investors. This marks a significant step in Husk’s journey to provide better financial infrastructure tailored to startup needs across Europe.
Founded to address the gaps left by traditional financial institutions, Husk delivers a platform that blends payment services with financial insights and real-time controls. The company partners with Stripe and Mastercard to offer scalable financial tools for startups, including virtual and physical payment cards, enhanced liquidity, and higher payment limits.
The newly raised capital will be used to scale operations and accelerate the company’s geographical expansion. With an existing European licence in place, Husk plans to begin its rollout in Benelux countries before expanding throughout the EEA and eventually entering the UK market. The funds will also support product development as Husk looks to refine and extend its platform’s capabilities.
Husk’s founders cite personal experience with legacy financial systems as a key motivator for launching the company. They highlight the limitations startups face when working with conventional banks—from a lack of flexible tools to slow approval processes that hinder scaling and spending oversight.
