To help businesses automate decisions, New York-based startup Taktile grabs $20M

Tiger Global and Index Ventures, have co-led a $20 million Series A investment in Taktile, a New York-based SaaS startup that enables enterprises to swiftly design, operate, and assess automated decision processes.

The US company plans to utilize the money to expand quickly in the US and further develop its product.

According to Maik Taro Wehmeyer, co-founder and CEO of Taktile, “Too many businesses today rely on automatic judgments that they rarely revisit, causing them to overlook significant risks, respond to market shifts too late, and therefore leave money on the table.”

“We help organizations optimize decision accuracy, decrease risk, and considerably increase their profitability by enabling them to alter their decision flows quickly, easily, and data-driven. This, together with our global off-the-shelf data integrations, not only enables our clients to quickly launch new loan and insurance products but also helps our customers’ unit economics.

By eliminating the need for developers to write complex code, Taktile was established in 2020 by Maximilian Eber and Maik Taro Wehmeyer. Taktile enables businesses of all sizes to rapidly construct, run, and analyze automated decision flows.

Businesses utilize it to make judgments like who to lend money to and how much to charge new clients.

The platform enables businesses to advertise items more quickly, take proactive action in a setting that is always changing, and remove uncertainty from their most important choices.

Taktile’s revenue has increased by over 300% in the last year, and it now supports more than 250,000 daily decisions.

The company presently employs 45 individuals and has offices in New York London, and Berlin. Branch, Moss, and Rhino are just a few of the international financial services firms that the US company collaborates with.

With an advisory board made up of eight unicorn founders and executives from around the world, including Ross Mason (Founder, Mulesoft), Daniel Dines (Founder, Ui Path), and Olivier Pomel, Taktile was a part of the Y Combinator in 2020.

“Taktile’s platform plugs a huge vacuum in the fintech stack by unblocking risk teams, enabling them to swiftly design, test, and evolve their risk models and regulations without a heavy need on engineering,” says Carlos Gonzales-Cadenas, Partner at Index Ventures. Better risk management is at the core of every financial product, which is why I am enthusiastic about the product.
