A Belgian fintech looking to boost financial wellness in the workplace has raised €3 million in pre-seed funding. Warren, founded in 2024, seeks to alleviate financial stress in the workplace by offering employees a range of tools. These include AI-powered financial coaching and education tools, bespoke insights and access to expert advice.
The funding round was led by Motive Ventures, with participation from Entourage, Syndicate One, Pitchdrive, 1105 and several business angels. Warren was founded by a group of former executives with French HealthTech Alan. Cedric De Vleeschauwer (who is also an angel investor in Mistral), David Du Pré and Pieterjan Behaeghe all worked at Alan.
The other co-founders are Jos Polfliet, previously of document processing startup Metamaze, and Tijs Deryckere, previously of Belgian bank KBC.
Warren thinks it has hit a sweet spot, pointing to research showing that 78 per cent of employees feel financially stressed; 60 per cent of employees think their organisation needs to prioritise financial wellbeing; and 42 per cent would consider changing jobs for better financial support. The startup says it will use the funds to beef up its offering.
De Vleeschauwer said:
"The democratisation of wealth advisory is the start of a new movement. Our platform will integrate advanced AI insights, human financial expertise and personalised coaching and education into one holistic, user-friendly experience."
