🎉 Happiest Birthdays En Abdulahu!! 🎉 Please join me in wishing a very Happy Birthday to my co-founder and #ESGinPractice podcast co-host, En! I’m incredibly #grateful to be on this journey with him. His positive, can-do attitude, knack for mind-reading, and #lovefordata and #Excel have truly shaped our success so far. Despite the nearly 20-year age difference between us, I hardly notice it—whether that’s a testament to his maturity or my immaturity, I’ll let you decide! 😅 En’s intelligence and drive have been pivotal in shaping Fortifai into what it is today. Thank you, En, for your dedication and for all the fun & laughs we’ve shared along the way. Here’s to many more milestones together! 🎂🎉 #HappyBirthday #Fortifai #Milestones #Congrats

Weekly research from RegTech Analyst European RegTech investments plummet in Q2 as deal activity declined by 74% YoY In Q2 2024, the European RegTech sector experienced an impactful downturn in both deal activity and funding. Only 18 deals were recorded in Q2 2024, marking a 74% decrease compared to the 69 deals completed in the same quarter of the previous year. Funding also saw a sharp decline, with European RegTech companies raising just $80.8m in funding during the second quarter, an 80% drop from the $394.5m raised in Q2 2023. Compared to Q1 2024, which saw 33 deals and $223.9m in funding, Q2 2024 represents a 45% drop in deal activity and a 64% decrease in funding. The average deal value in Q2 2024 was approximately $4.5m, reflecting a 34% decrease from the $6.8m average in Q1 2024 and a 21% decrease from the $5.7m average in Q2 2023. This trend suggests that not only are fewer deals being made, but the investments are also smaller, likely indicating a heightened level of caution among investors in the European RegTech market due to ongoing economic challenges and market uncertainties. Fortifai, a startup focused on automating and accelerating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) regulatory compliance, announced its arrival with a $537k funding round led by RunwayFBU, Startuplab, and Impact Shakers Ventures. This investment will propel Fortifai's platform development, allowing it to expand its market presence and enhance its ESG compliance solutions globally. Fortifai is not just another ESG reporting tool; it offers a continuous, real-time compliance management system that transforms sustainability into a strategic advantage rather than an annual checklist. Under the leadership of Abbey Lin, a seasoned expert in global sustainability, Fortifai is already collaborating with multinationals like Telenor and piloting solutions with companies such as Aker Solutions and Hydro Rein. The new funding will enable Fortifai to support its existing pilots, onboard new customers, and integrate AI to make its ESG compliance platform even more impactful, positioning it as a game-changer in the RegTech landscape.

🎊 Today’s my birthday! 🎂 This year, I wanted to share a picture similar to my birthday post last year, taken during the summer holidays with friends. The difference? The angle, the kids are a year older, and our new puppy named Turbo! As I scrolled through my feed, searching for last year's post, I couldn’t help but reflect on everything I’ve shared over the past year. It’s #humbling (and a bit #funny and #embarrassing) to witness the evolution of Fortifai and myself during this time. The last few years have been both #challenging and #transformative. This period has brought immense personal growth, opportunities to reconnect with my network, and countless moments of stepping outside my #comfortzone. After almost 20 years, it’s rare to find yourself doing something entirely new, yet here I am. The leap from corporate to startup isn’t easy, but I’m proof it can be done. One major lesson I’ve learned this past year: #none of this would have been possible without the support of my #network. For that, I am incredibly #grateful. Old and new friends, contacts, and colleagues—some dating back 10-15 years—have supported me through this transition and this wild idea I had. From follows, likes, and comments to podcast listens and introductions to your own networks—#everyaction has helped Fortifai get to where it is today. From the bottom of my heart ❤️ #THANKYOU! Words can’t fully capture how much it means to me, but please know that you’ve made a real difference. #oneyearolderoneyearwiser #gratitude #startuplife #norwegiansummer

Exciting Changes are Coming‼️ I have to admit, putting yourself out there can be extremely nerve-wracking. The past two years have honestly been a rollercoaster, with #incrediblehighs and some of the #lowestlows. As an #entrepreneur, you’re constantly stepping outside of your comfort zone. After several starts and stops over the past year, I’ve decided to tackle one of my bigger fears. As a young Gen-Xer, I didn’t grow up with social media, so sharing my personal journey publicly feels, well, a bit daunting. But it’s time to embrace change and adapt to the realities of building a business in the digital age.
