Grain, a leading Israeli fintech startup specializing in foreign exchange (FX) optimization, has raised $33 million in a Series A funding round led by Bain Capital Ventures. This latest investment brings Grain’s total funding to over $50 million, reinforcing its position as a key player in automated FX risk management.
The Series A round follows an $18 million Seed round raised in 2022, which was only recently disclosed. The funding highlights the increasing demand for AI-driven FX solutions, as global commerce faces heightened currency volatility and businesses seek smarter, risk-adjusted pricing strategies.
Grain’s innovative technology enables real-time FX optimization, seamlessly integrating with B2B marketplaces, payment providers, and enterprise financial platforms. By automating FX risk management, Grain empowers businesses to minimize currency exposure, enhance profitability, and drive global expansion with confidence.
With this funding, Grain is set to accelerate product innovation and expand its footprint in the rapidly evolving fintech landscape.
Founded in 2022, Grain is redefining B2B micro-transactions with its AI-powered, automated FX risk management solution. The company’s leadership team brings extensive experience in financial markets and fintech innovation, positioning Grain at the forefront of global transaction optimization.
Grain’s technology optimizes and hedges B2B micro-transactions, integrating directly into sales interfaces, B2B software platforms, marketplaces, and payment providers. By analyzing end-user data, the platform customizes pricing strategies, helping CFOs and finance teams incorporate FX risk-adjusted pricing into front-end sales platforms. This seamless integration minimizes currency risk, streamlines cross-border transactions, and enhances financial efficiency for businesses worldwide.
As global trade accelerates, Grain is pioneering automated FX risk management, ensuring businesses stay competitive in a fluctuating market.
Hedging originated in mid-19th century Chicago, where farmers secured grain prices by locking in future sales. Today, in our globalized economy, currency exchange rate volatility presents a similar challenge for businesses. Grain offers a modern solution, mitigating both your risk and your customers’ exposure to fluctuating exchange rates. This automated hedging platform provides peace of mind, reduces costs, and empowers you to drive higher sales, all without the complexities of traditional bank processes.
“Global commerce moves faster than ever, yet FX volatility continues to create barriers for businesses operating across borders,” said Dor Golan, co-founder and CEO of Grain. “At Grain, we’ve set out to shift the paradigm by turning FX from a challenge into a competitive advantage. Our platform enables CFOs to eliminate currency exposure with precision while simultaneously driving revenue growth.”
