PowerUp Money lands $12M Series A to boost its investment‑tech platform

PowerUp Money is a fintech startup that offers investment‑technology solutions to retail and institutional investors. On 1 December 2025 the company announced the close of a $12M Series A round, with Peak XV Partners identified as the lead investor. The funding adds PowerUp Money to a crowded December slate of Indian fintech deals, which also featured StockGro’s $13M Series B and Finfactor’s $15M Series A, underscoring sustained investor interest in the country’s investment‑tech segment. While the source does not detail the specific use of proceeds, the capital raise signals the company’s intent to scale its product suite and expand its market reach from its Karnataka headquarters. The round follows a broader trend in the Indian startup ecosystem where fintech firms continue to attract sizable capital, as evidenced by multiple entries in the funding roundup covering payments, alternative lending and tax‑tech. By securing backing from a specialist investor like Peak XV Partners, PowerUp Money joins peers that are leveraging fresh capital to deepen technology capabilities and compete for market share in a sector that is rapidly digitising traditional investment services. The announcement, listed among other December 2025 funding events, highlights the momentum behind fintech innovation in India and the confidence of venture capitalists in the growth prospects of investment‑tech platforms.
