The Barcelonan Goin captures 11.5 million in a round in which Zuckerberg's right-hand man enters

The Barcelona startup Goin, specialized in online financial savings services, has raised 6 million euros over the last three years. The capital increase has had the contributions of prominent executives from the world of technology and finance: Javier Oliván, Meta's director of operations and Mark Zuckerberg's right-hand man, Carina Szpilka, former CEO of ING or Enrique Linares, founder of Letgo. In addition, the K Fund and Encomenda funds have participated as investors.

According to a statement, the company has raised a total of 11.5 million since its inception in 2018. The money is invested in expanding the business. Recently, the company has just launched an extension of the mobile service to the browser. Currently, Goin has half a million users and has managed to grant 470,000 euros through its rewards programs to customers.

The company's business model is based on transacting these rewards through agreements with more than 1,000 brands -such as Zara, Nike or Ikea- with which users can save on their online purchases. The business was created in 2018 by David Ruidor, Carlos Rodríguez and also Gabriel Esteban, who left the business.

The company's CEO assures that the company billed 2.5 million euros in 2022, more than double the previous year. The company, which operates through the Prakma Innovation company, employs around twenty people.
