French fintech Aria lands €15M to bring the digital payment experience to all businesses

Aria

B2B payments represent $120 trillion in volume annually around the world but only 7% of this is conducted digitally. Helping businesses upgrade their payments infrastructure and get paid instantly, French fintech Aria is today announcing a €15M funding round to expand their deferred payment infrastructure across the platform economy and B2B marketplaces. The funding round was led by 13books Capital with participation from Adevinta Ventures, Ankaa Ventures, Otium Capital and angel investors including Laurent Ritter (Purple), Mark Ransford and Guillaume Princen (former Stripe exec). Aria enables any merchant, B2B marketplace or vertical SaaS company that sells goods and services online and offline to offer their sellers a wide array of payment methods and terms, and get paid instantly — all in a single platform. Aria is able to connect with B2B marketplaces, transactional SaaS platforms and ERP systems to distribute early payment of supplier invoices and offers deferred payment options for end-clients via their API. Clément Carrier, CEO and co-founder of Aria, commented: “We have solved a big problem for freelancers and the platform economy but we have seen, first-hand, that businesses face a big bottleneck when it comes to payments. Most online business purchases today are completed by credit cards, while transactions via preferred methods for most businesses — like wires, checks, and online banking — remain offline and have to be conducted elsewhere. This is because the process is incredibly challenging, often involving offline quotes and invoices, multiple phone calls and emails, and long payment delays. Aria manages all of this complexity behind a slick checkout experience and makes offering flexible payments methods and terms as easy as using a credit card. The truth is that innovation in B2B commerce payments has lagged far behind the B2C space. We want to modernise wide-ranging aspects of how B2B commerce is conducted in the digital age.” Aria will offer businesses a check out experience akin to B2C users and underlying this the embedded payment infrastructure will cover funding, KYC/KYB, debtor risk analysis, anti-fraud analysis, credit insurance and debt recovery. A detailed dashboard will provide a clear overview of their payments landscape. Founded in 2019 in Paris by co-founders Clement Carrier and Vincent Folny, as ex-freelancers themselves they understood the pain of waiting for slow payment and uncertainty of income freelancers experience. Since launching their deferred payment API in 2021, Aria scaled up quickly to become the leading provider of deferred payments for the contingent workforce platforms in Europe. Aria is working with over 100 platforms to solve the payment gap between when suppliers need to get paid and when buyers want to pay for goods and services. Aria integrates directly into the platform's systems enabling instant direct payments to suppliers across Europe and allowing buyers up to 90 days to pay for services and goods. Over the last 12 months, on the back of growth in France and their UK launch, Aria has now processed over 0.5 Bn€ in payments for over 30k businesses and freelancers with invoices ranging from €500 to €20,000. Aria is supported by a €150m facility from several investors including M&G Investments to advance payments. Aria has partnered with Europe’s largest freelance platforms and marketplaces such as Malt, Brigad and Jump which are now being funded across Europe. Clément Carrier added: “While B2B payment volume is 5x the size of B2C retail payments, only 7% of B2B commerce is transacted online. Aria replaces the outdated method of B2B payments with an online experience that closely resembles B2C. With Aria’s suite of tools, companies can process any payment method, offer flexible net terms financing, and get paid instantly — all in one online platform. Buyers have the flexibility to pay like they would on a consumer website, transacting in a few clicks.” Michael McFadgen, Partner at 13books Capital, commented: “There is so much to like about Aria it’s hard to know where to start. Amazing team, exceptional growth, clear PMF across multiple verticals, highly capital efficient – they have it all. We’re very, very pleased they chose 13books as their partner for the next phase of growth and we look forward to supporting them.” The team at Aria are on a mission to help fully digitise B2B trade by bringing business payments and financing solutions online and closer to them, reducing friction in the buying process. Stefan Grabmann, Principal at Adevinta Ventures added: “Aria has developed a powerful solution enabling businesses and freelancers to receive payments on their own terms. We believe that the future of B2B marketplaces is fintech-enabled, and Aria is spearheading this transformation across Europe.” About Aria Aria is a B2B deferred payment infrastructure for the platform economy. It enables marketplaces, Transactional SaaS & ERPs companies to improve their growth by offering instant payments to their providers while maintaining cash flow until their customer has paid.

This synergy aims to redefine AI-driven content creation and creativity, placing LimeWire at the forefront of this rapidly evolving generative AI landscape. "Our platform is designed to break down barriers, allowing aspiring musicians and creators to unleash their potential with the power of AI. As we venture into the future of music, it is our firm belief that AI technology should be a catalyst for inclusivity, empowering aspiring musicians from all walks of life,” added co-CEO of LimeWire, Julian Zehetmayr. “By providing accessible AI tools, we aim to level the playing field, ensuring that traditional resource constraints no longer hinder the creative journey.” Looking ahead, LimeWire envisions a vibrant community around its AI Music Studio, where creators can not only share their work but also monetize it.

News Release

Kaleo Forecasts 40% Price Pump For Floki; BONK and Meme Moguls Hits New All-time High

Total Media

A pseudonymous crypto analyst known as @CryptoKaleo on X has predicted that Floki will rise 40%. Meanwhile, BONK and Meme Moguls have set a new price record. Analysts have also predicted that the value of Meme Moguls will rise by 100x, making it among the top altcoins to watch. Let’s see why these tokens are up. >> Can You Predict The Next 1000x Meme Coin? Become A Meme Mogul Today << Can Floki (FLOKI) Rally 40%? On Wednesday, a pseudonymous cryptocurrency analyst, Kaleo, @CryptoKaleo, predicted a 40% surge for Floki, a meme coin. Kaleo compared Floki and a meme coin based on Solana called BONK. The analyst noticed a consistent pattern in Floki’s recent price changes. To emphasize the similarities, Kaleo provided a short-term technical analysis comparing the breakout models of BONK and Floki. According to them, “the structural similarities are quite evident. A 40% increase in Floki price would not be surprising, considering it would still be 20% below its all-time high.” According to data from CoinMarketCap, the Floki price has jumped 25.6% on the 7-day chart from $0.00003233 to $0.00004431. BONK (BONK) Overtakes FlokI Inu’s Market Cap BONK (BONK), a dog-themed cryptocurrency token built on the Solana blockchain, has experienced tremendous growth. It currently holds a position among the top three “dog-themed coins” based on market cap. As of December 8, data from CoinMarketCap showed that BONK has a market cap of $753 million. Floki, on the other hand, has a market cap of $385 million. The token’s trading volume has seen double-digit gains in the past week. The price of BONK has seen growth of 956.0% in the previous month, a 1,800% surge from late October to late November. On the weekly chart, the price of Bonk has soared 203.8%, reaching a new all-time high of $0.00001251 on December 8. BONK’s notable success is due to the resurgence of its parent network, Solana. The token has recovered in 2023 from its 2022 crisis. Meme Moguls (MGLS) Does Not Depend On Hype, Unlike Floki and BONK Meme Moguls (MGLS) has positioned itself as the best crypto investment by merging memecoins and play-to-earn gaming into a single platform. Unlike most memecoins, MGLS derives its value from real-world uses rather than relying solely on hype. It serves as both an in-game currency and a governance token within the Meme Moguls ecosystem. Within the ecosystem, community members and friends can also arrange tournaments on the Meme Moguls platform and engage in simulated investment games. These tournaments can range from casual fun to featuring prize pools and entry fees, fostering collaboration among users while providing opportunities to win prizes and rewards. This aspect positions Meme Moguls as the preferred choice for those seeking entertainment and potential rewards, often dubbed the best crypto investment. This strategic approach is anticipated to drive demand for Meme Moguls’ native token, MGLS, even higher. Meme Moguls seamlessly incorporates NFTs into its ecosystem. As a result, users can purchase and sell rare NFT characters that enhance trading capabilities and improve trading conditions. Importantly, the rarer the NFT, the more favorable the conditions, including leverage and spreads. The value of the MGLS token currently stands at $0.0021. Market experts have projected a 100x price increase during the presale. Conclusion In summary, the top altcoins to watch out for more gains are Floki, BONK, and Meme Moguls. However, Meme Moguls is the only meme coin with utility on the list. This has fueled the increased interest in the project.

Crypto Analyst Ali Martinez Makes a Bullish Cardano Price Prediction; Everlodge To Combine AI Technology With Real Estate Investment

Total Media

Recently, the prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez made a bullish Cardano (ADA) price prediction that has excited the crypto community. Simultaneously, Everlodge (ELDG) - a new DeFi project, announced plans to integrate cutting-edge AI technology into its ecosystem. Because of this, many experts now believe that this rising presale star (now in Stage 8) can experience a 3,000% value growth in 2024. Keep on reading as we go over these developments in greater detail. How High Can Cardano Go? Ali Martinez's optimistic prediction has placed Cardano (ADA) in the spotlight, forecasting a potential surge in its value. Over the past month, the Cardano price has increased from $0.38 on November 9 to $0.62 on December 9. According to Martinez, Cardano may soar to $0.75 before the end of 2023. The Cardano crypto technical analysis backs this claim as it trades above its 100 and 200-day EMAs. Moreover, this altcoin has experienced 17 green trading days out of the last 30. This is a noteworthy 57%, bolstered by a low price volatility of 7.31% during that time. If Cardano can maintain this uptrend, reaching $0.75 before the year ends may be plausible. That is why Cardano is a good altcoin to watch at the moment. Everlodge (ELDG): One Of The Best Crypto Coins The global hospitality industry was valued at $4.5T in 2022, and Everlodge (ELDG) plans to dominate it with its unique platform. It will create the first property marketplace to mint real-world properties into NFTs and then fractionalize them. As a result, you may become a fractional owner of a New York hotel on the blockchain and join the world's top 1% for a low price. The crypto community is also excited about Everlodge's AI integration. Notably, this AI-driven tool will monitor and scan property prices all over the globe. Using predictive algorithms can help you discover undervalued markets that could skyrocket soon. For example, if you used the tool two years ago, it would have pointed to Dubai as the next real estate hotspot. All this is powered by the ELDG native token, which is now in Stage 8 of its presale, costing only $0.027. Millions of tokens have been sold in just a few months as investors want to grab them before their value surges. With early buyers gaining 170% ROI, this fear is well-warranted. Holding it will also give you benefits such as discounts or passive income via staking. With Everlodge's innovation, it may become a fan-favorite for millions of people.
