About

The funds — coming from a single investor, Motive Partners — values Backbase at €2.5 billion ($2.6 billion). Backbase provides a platform that essentially works with that: at the core is middleware that is tooled to bring in data from different sources and then use that information to build out “on the glass” services — those focused on customer engagement — such as customer onboarding, digital banking and other assistants, and other engagement tools.

Fundz sees it the moment Backbase changes its leadership, hires an exec or expands, usually minutes after it happens, and tells you who to reach.
