Mumbai-based fintech Rezolv has raised $12.5 million in Series A funding to expand its AI-powered debt resolution platform for banks and non-bank financial companies. The round included Vertex Ventures and 3one4 Capital.

Founded by Karan Mehta and Sonali Jindal, former co-founders of Kissht, Rezolv plans to use the funding to strengthen its AI capabilities across sales, risk assessment, underwriting, and collections while expanding its automation platform for lenders.

Moving AI in Collections From Adoption to Outcomes

Rezolv is focused on a specific challenge for lenders: improving debt collection while making the process more efficient and compliant. Its platform combines generative AI, analytics, and workflow automation to support collection operations and borrower engagement.

The company argues that the bigger challenge for businesses is no longer deciding whether to adopt AI, but measuring what that adoption actually delivers. Rezolv is therefore positioning its technology around measurable outcomes such as recovery rates, operating costs, productivity, and workforce optimisation.

Building an End-to-End Platform for Lenders

Rezolv launched its platform in October 2024 and secured its first NBFC customers in January 2025. The company is now expanding its capabilities beyond collections to cover additional stages of the lending lifecycle.

The latest investment gives Rezolv capital to deepen its AI capabilities while developing a broader automation platform for lenders. Its focus on measurable financial outcomes could become particularly relevant as financial institutions increasingly look beyond AI experimentation toward technologies that can demonstrate a direct operational impact.

Key takeaways for fintech startups

Rezolv’s Series A highlights a shift in how financial institutions evaluate AI investments. Key lessons include:

• AI products need to demonstrate measurable business outcomes.
  
  
• Vertical-specific automation can address complex operational challenges more effectively.
  
  
• Expanding across the financial lifecycle can create opportunities beyond a single use case.

As financial institutions move from AI experimentation toward measurable implementation, fintechs need to connect technology directly to business value. Contact us to explore how Your Fintech Story can support your fintech strategy and growth.

Quartr has raised $18 million in new funding as the financial data company looks to accelerate product development and expand its coverage of public companies globally. The round was led by existing investor Altos Ventures, with participation from new investor SEB.

The investment also makes Altos Ventures Quartr’s largest shareholder, signalling continued confidence in the company’s growth. Quartr says it continues to grow at triple-digit rates, with net revenue retention of around 120%.

Turning First-Party Data Into AI-Ready Infrastructure

Quartr provides structured, real-time investor relations data from public companies, including information from live company events. Its platform is designed to make this data easier for financial institutions and AI systems to access, analyse, and use.

The company operates through two main products. Quartr Pro provides an AI-powered research platform for hedge funds, asset managers, equity researchers, and investor relations professionals, while Quartr API provides data infrastructure for companies building their own financial applications and AI tools.

Building for Institutional Finance and AI

Quartr says more than 800 financial institutions and technology companies use its platform for research and development. Its customer base includes major hedge funds, asset managers, and technology companies.

The latest funding will allow Quartr to move faster on product development while continuing to expand its global coverage. As financial research becomes increasingly automated, access to reliable first-party information could become an increasingly important part of the AI infrastructure stack.

Key takeaways for fintech startups

Quartr’s raise highlights the growing value of high-quality data infrastructure in financial services. Key lessons include:

• Reliable first-party data can become a critical foundation for financial AI.
  
  
• APIs can turn specialised data into infrastructure for an entire ecosystem.
  
  
• Strong retention and recurring usage can provide a foundation for rapid expansion.

As AI transforms how financial institutions research and make decisions, fintechs that control valuable data infrastructure can play an increasingly important role. Contact us to explore how Your Fintech Story can support your fintech strategy and growth.
