Hokodo

Announced 21 Apr 2026

$177.0M · Financial Services · United Kingdom

Hokodo is Europe’s leading digital trade credit platform, empowering B2B merchants and marketplaces to offer instant, flexible payment terms.

“While Revolut scaled to $45B by going deep in one product before expanding, Hokodo raised $177M, went wide across 10 countries, and just shut down. The founders' own words: "We scaled before earning it." That should terrify every fintech founder reading this. Hokodo built a B2B Buy Now Pay Later platform. Financed €500M+ in invoices.”
