Payrails raises $32M Series A for enterprise payment operating system
Payrails, a payment software company founded by former Delivery Hero fintech leaders, has raised $32 million in Series A funding. The round was led by HV Capital's Growth Fund, with participation from existing investors EQT Ventures, General Catalyst, and Andreessen Horowitz, bringing total funding to over $52.8 million. Payrails provides a modular payment operating system for large enterprises, covering payment orchestration, payouts, tokenization, unified analytics, automated reconciliation, and in-person payments. In 2024, the company processed over 1 million daily operations and expanded into 30 new markets across Europe and MENA. It maintains a catalogue of more than 100 integrations with providers such as Stripe, Adyen, Forter, SAP, Salesforce, and Snowflake. Earlier in 2025, Payrails entered a strategic partnership with Mastercard. The new capital will support product innovation and commercial growth across EMEA.
Series A funding for a payment orchestration platform is relevant to e-commerce infrastructure and transaction optimization, but it is not a core AdTech industry shift.

Antler Study: Key Factors for German Startups' Series A Success
A new analysis by venture capital firm Antler reveals that only 24% of German startups successfully transition from Seed to Series A funding. The study, which examined 27,602 funding rounds from over 3,000 startups between 2015 and 2026, identifies five key factors that significantly increase the likelihood of reaching a Series A round: raising at least €2 million in the Seed round, having an institutional VC as lead investor, having at least three investors in the Seed round, having a Pre-Seed investor participate in the Seed round, and completing the Seed round within twelve months of the Pre-Seed. Startups meeting all five criteria achieve Series A in 51.1% of cases. The analysis also highlights the growing gap between new startup creations and follow-on financing, with 3,568 startups founded in 2025 but only 71 reaching Series A. Despite this, Germany's conversion rate of 18.9% for the 2022 cohort remains strong compared to other European markets.
Ex-Ramp Engineers Raise $20M for AI Ad Platform Melius
Melius, an AI platform for generating ad campaigns, images, and videos, announced on Tuesday that it raised a total of $25 million in funding, including a $20 million Series A led by CRV and a $5 million seed round led by General Catalyst. The New York-based company, founded by former Ramp engineers, initially built an AI-powered performance marketing tool but scrapped the entire codebase after six months to focus on generating creative assets. Melius claims to have surpassed $1 million in annualized revenue within two months of coming out of stealth in July. The platform is described as an 'agents lab for creative work', allowing users to create ads using plain language. Competitors include Higgsfield, Krea, and Flora AI.
