A new week is here and the companies pitching to the crowd are leaning heavily into the future of money and cleaner energy. The lineup includes an AI-powered wealth manager alongside an investment platform built around AI, education and community, and a company developing advanced hydrogen systems for cleaner landscapes.
It’s a telling snapshot of where crowdfunding is currently sitting. It’s not just a last resort for founders, but rather a deliberate route for companies whose customers and users they’re serving are also the best people to invest.
So, who are the startups crowdfunding this week? Here they are.
1. Selma
How much are they raising: €1,000,000
Website: www.selma.com
SEIS/EIS? N/A
About: Selma is an AI-powered wealth manager and retirement advisor for Switzerland, bringing personalised finance guidance to a market where it traditionally came at a premium.
Wealth management, particularly in Switzerland, has often been reserved for private banks and high-net-worth clients. Every day investors were left to either pay fees that ate into their returns or go at it alone without any real support. Selma uses AI to deliver personalised, ongoing advice to investors who want their money to work harder without handing it over to traditional banks.

2. Stack by Me
How much are they raising: €1,035,000
Website: www.stackby.me
SEIS/EIS? N/A
About: Stack by Me brings together AI, education and community into a single platform to make investing accessible and to help people build financial confidence.
Investing is a popular topic of conversation right now, but it can be somewhat confusing. New platforms and assets may have lowered the barrier of entry to get started, but they don’t really help people to understand what they’re doing. Stack by Me takes a joined approach, using AI to personalise the experience, education to build knowledge and community to give people somewhere to learn alongside others in the same boat.
