Storfund

Storfund is a London-headquartered fintech that pioneered Daily Advance, a product that pays e-commerce marketplace sellers for their sales on the day they make them — eliminating the 14 to 60 day payout delays that are standard across platforms including Amazon, TikTok Shop and Back Market. Founded in 2018 by George Brintalos and Akbar Ahsan, the company was bootstrapped from inception, reaching profitability in its first year without VC capital, a founding ethos that distinguishes it from most of its fintech peers.

Storfund's model is simple but powerful: sellers connect their marketplace accounts and immediately unlock access to the cash they have already earned. The service advances money at the point of shipment, resolving one of the most acute cashflow problems in e-commerce. The company has since expanded its offering to include cross-border payments across 50+ currencies and is integrated with more than 60 marketplaces globally. Over 50% of Storfund clients expand to a new marketplace after joining the platform.

Storfund has advanced more than $2 billion to e-commerce businesses worldwide and has been recognised on Sifted's list of the UK's fastest-growing tech companies, with the highest revenue-to-funding ratio among its peers. The company has secured a total of $413 million in debt financing from Fasanara Capital and expanded to 54 employees. It has recently launched partnerships with TikTok Shop, Mirakl and Mangopay, and was named among Sifted's Top 100 UK and Ireland startups.
