💥What is Embat?

Embat is one of the fastest growing startups in Europe. Embat was born in 2021 to design the best way for medium and large sized enterprises to plan their finances and monitor their cash flow in real time.

Our mission is to build a product (SaaS) that leverages technology and excellent client experience to empower our clients to make the best business decisions by accessing the best financial information, 100x more efficiently than using Excel files.

Composed of a fantastic team of people of 80+ members with different backgrounds and nationalities. Backed by reputable international investors with the ambition to make Embat global and a great place to work! We are backed by top-tier international VCs.

In February 2024, we closed our third investment round worth 15 million euros! This has been led by the renowned international investment fund Creandum, with the invaluable support of our all time partners Samaipata, 4Founders Capital and VentureFriends.

Our tech stack is second to none, so be ready to shoot to the moon and beyond. Our Frontend is built with ReactJS. It keeps us moving fast and scale up, but with strong resiliency. We use Figma to build our proprietary Design System and UI Kit. Our Backend runs on Node JS and our platform on Google GCP, using Firebase as our center of command.
