What does the company do? Founded in 2021, Kintai provides working-capital financing to companies with turnover of up to €300 million by advancing receivables such as unpaid invoices, converting them into immediate liquidity. It has channelled more than €150 million in financing to about 1,000 companies in Spain.
Why it stands out: The round ranks around the 95th percentile among all-time early-stage VC deals in Spanish fintech, based on a sample of 103 comparable rounds. That places it among the larger early-stage raises in the sector.
What's the money for? Kintai will expand its technology platform, launch new features, and hire. It plans to double its headcount to 70 employees over the following 12 months, focusing on technology, product, and business development.
The financials: The company closed 2025 with €4.5 million in revenue and €500,000 in EBITDA. For 2026, it aims to top €10 million in turnover on the back of a growing client base and a broader product range. Founders and management will keep about 45% of the company after the round.
What the investor says: "Kintai ha demostrado que se puede crecer con rentabilidad en un mercado con un potencial enorme y todavía poco explotado," said Javier Rubió, a partner at Barlon Capital.
The signal: Access to liquidity remains a top concern for small businesses. Cesgar reports 73% of Spanish SMEs sought liquidity for daily operations in 2025, and half turned to financing, while Cepyme puts the average payment period above 80 days — roughly a third over the legal limit. That gap is the demand Kintai is built to serve.
