Creem, a billing and monetisation
platform for AI-native companies, has raised €5 million in seed funding to
develop its platform and expand its financial and revenue tools for software
businesses. The round was led by Inovo VC, with participation from
existing investors Practica Capital and Antler. Angel investors in the round
included Bolt founder Markus Villig, Ready Player Me founders Timmu Tõke and
Kaspar Tiri, Voi’s Adam Jafer, and Viktor.com’s Fryd Wiatrowski.
The investment brings Creem’s total
funding to €7 million, with several participants also having backed the
company’s pre-seed round in 2025.
Founded by Google and Adyen alumni
Gabriel Ferraz and Alec Erasmus, Creem is developing financial infrastructure
for small, globally distributed software companies. Its platform is designed to
bring together the processes involved in selling software internationally,
including billing, payments, tax compliance, payouts and revenue management.
The company is targeting a gap between
the speed at which small teams can now develop software using AI tools and the
time required to establish the infrastructure needed to monetise their
products. According to Creem, founders often need to combine separate services
for checkout, tax compliance, payouts, billing, affiliate management, analytics
and other revenue operations.
Creem is addressing this through Creem
2.0, the next version of its platform, which extends its offering beyond
traditional merchant-of-record services. The platform combines global sales
with tax and compliance, affiliate management, revenue splits, conversion
analytics, marketing channel tracking and abandoned cart recovery.
It also supports monetisation models
including usage-based pricing, credit wallets, seat-based subscriptions and
prepaid credits.
Creem 2.0 is being designed so that
both people and AI agents can operate these functions. The company says an AI
agent can use a single prompt to configure a store’s billing and subsequently
monitor and optimise its products and revenue operations.
A lot of startups are racing to
build agent workflows or agentic payments. We went the other way. Creem lets founders bring
whatever agents they want and put them to work running and optimising their store,
so revenue can grow without growing headcount,
said
Gabriel Ferraz, co-founder and CEO of Creem.
The new funding will be used to scale
Creem 2.0 and broaden the platform beyond finance to include more of the growth
and revenue tools used by small software companies selling internationally.
Over the next 12 to 18 months, Creem
plans to develop its agent-operated billing and monetisation capabilities,
expand tools for affiliates, analytics and marketing channel tracking, and
strengthen global compliance and payouts across fiat and stablecoin payment
rails.
