Danish fintech company Flatpay has recently raised €145 million (approx. DKK 1.1 billion) in a new investment round led by AVP with participation from Smash Capital and previous investors.
With the new capital, Flatpay hits a valuation of €1.5 billion, becoming the fastest Danish startup ever to achieve unicorn status, three years after its founding in 2022.
“The fact that we’ve hit unicorn status is a special feeling. We’re proud to have created a company that is worth more than a billion dollars. It’s been a team effort, and it’s taken a lot to reach this milestone. Now our focus is on maintaining our growth trajectory, and expand Flatpay to the next level,”
says Sander Janca-Jensen, CEO and co-founder of Flatpay.
Flatpay reports they have had a massive growth recently, with expected revenue of € 125 million for 2025.
“We have a very scalable business model with three-digit revenue growth and healthy margins allowing us to reinvest in the development of the business. With hyper growth comes the need to onboard more employees to help service our growing portfolio of customers. I believe that we can hit 10,000 employees in Flatpay, but growing our company takes capital, and we are happy that AVP and Smash Capital believes in Flatpay and joins us in our coming growth journey.”
