Bleap has raised over £4m in a seed round, led by Blossom Capital, to support the continued development of its financial platform. The round follows a pre-seed raised in late 2024.
Since the pre-seed, the company has grown to more than 20,000 users and processed over $30m in transactions in 2025. The platform is focused on enabling global payments and transfers with fewer intermediaries.
Bleap was founded by Joao Alves and Guilherme Gomes, who previously worked on product development at Revolut. While consumer-facing financial products have improved in recent years, the founders argue that the underlying infrastructure remains slow and fragmented.
Transfers can still take several days, fees are often opaque, and access to funds is constrained by legacy systems. Bleap is designed to address these issues through a self-custodial financial account that combines payments, spending, and asset management in a single product.
From one balance, users can spend internationally without FX markups, receive cashback paid in stablecoins, move money across borders, and earn yield, while retaining control of their funds.
Since the pre-seed round, the company has expanded beyond payments. Users can already purchase digital assets without fees, and additional trading features are planned to launch within the app. Over time, the platform is intended to support a wider range of tradable assets, including tokenised real-world assets.
Blockchain infrastructure underpins the platform’s settlement layer, with stablecoins used to enable faster transfers and predictable pricing. The seed funding will be used to support product development and expansion across Europe and Latin America.
