Founded by Paula Pandolfino, Txeya is a Germany-based financial community platform built to close the funding gap for female, Black and other ethnic minority, and LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs. It combines a business banking account issued through a German BaFin-regulated partner bank with access to credit, institutional investors actively seeking diverse-founded businesses, and a wider community offering rewards and business support.
Txeya is working towards better credit scoring methods for underrepresented founders who are typically underserved by mainstream business banking and lending, and has been building out its community and product through waitlist access, workshops and investor roundtables.
