Duna simplifies business onboarding with a trusted digital passport

I have seen good businesses lose weeks just because onboarding turned into a chain of PDFs, emails, and please resend that document.

Fintech of my choice: Duna

Duna is basically trying to give every company a digital passport or maybe even better, a profile page for business identity that you can actually trust.

The company was founded in 2023 by David Schreiber and Duco van Lanschot, both former Stripe operators. That background matters because Stripe is where you learn that onboarding is not a “compliance checkbox”. It is a revenue lever. If you make it slow, you kill conversion. If you make it clean, you grow.

Duna sells an AI-native platform that unifies KYC, KYB, CDD, and AML into one onboarding flow. For banks and fintechs, that means fewer manual checks, fewer back-and-forth emails, and a faster “yes” for legitimate businesses. The idea of a single digital passport is simple. Once a company is verified properly, they should not have to start from zero every time they open an account, access a new product, or expands cross-border.

They just raised a €30m Series A led by CapitalG, with Puzzle Ventures and Index Ventures also in the round. That is serious backing for a very unsexy problem, which is usually a good sign. It means investors believe the pain is real, budgets exist, and the market is big enough to build infrastructure, not just another point solution.

I like Duna because it matches a pattern I keep seeing in fintech. The next winners are not only “better apps”. They are the rails that make regulated money move faster without making risk teams panic. Cross-border will keep growing, but compliance is still local, messy, and manual. If you can standardize business identity in a way that regulators and enterprises accept, you build a moat that is hard to copy.

If I were building a new fintech today, I would want Duna in the stack from day one, just to avoid drowning my team in onboarding ops six months later.

What is the slowest part of business onboarding you have seen: documents, beneficial owners, source of funds, or the constant “one more check” loop?
