German FinTech startup Zuper was selected as the 2019 European Grind Startup of the Year by Startup Grind, the world’s largest startup community.
“From the beginning, our goal has been to develop a better financial platform on a global scale,” said Zuper CEO Alexey Rubtsov. “Being selected as Europe’s best startup of 2019 acknowledges the hard work our team has put in, the great progress we’ve made, and the global need for better access to consumer-oriented financial services and products.”
Startup Grind is the largest startup community in the world with more than two million members worldwide, according to a company press release, and the organization hosted its Europe Conference in London. The event brought together 3,000 startups, investors, and innovators from around the globe for discussions around the future of startups, venture capital, artificial intelligence, fintech and more.
“Startup Grind is a community with the kind of global presence we aspire to,” Rubtsov said. “We are so honored to be selected and recognized by one of the world’s largest startup movements. 2019 is going to be a powerful year for Zuper. We are working on releasing really big things in the next few months… and this award gives us a great validation that we’re on the right track.”
Zuper is developing a type of AI-driven digital financial coach focused on helping people to do more with their money. The Zuper apps for iOS and Android devices provide its users with more control over their bank accounts and more ways to save.
The German FinTech startup launched in 2017 and is supported by industry leaders including VISA, Deloitte, and Google. It offers service in Germany and Austria and plans to expand to France and more European countries in the upcoming months.
