SayF raises $240k pre-seed round funding from Titan Capital and others
SayF, India’s first rewards based savings app, has raised $240k for its pre-seed round. The current round is led by Titan Capital, Sunn91 Ventures, and other prominent angel investors. The platform will utilize the funding for its initial team building, product refinement, and early product experimentation.
SayF founded in 2021 by Aman Singh (IIT Delhi, 2022 batch) & Priyesh Gandhi (NIT Karnataka, 2021 batch), aims to help its users in saving, investing, and optimizing the spending of money for a better future. Saving money is one of the significant aspects of building wealth and securing a financial future and freedom. In this era, with apps like google pay and phonepe where making a transaction hardly takes 3 seconds, savings has become a nightmare, especially for the upcoming GenZ generations moving towards a spending economy. Also, the retirement savings gap is increasing at 10% CAGR each year, thus pushing individuals to increase their personal savings to survive in the future. To withstand similar situations, SayF can be best utilized to safeguard the finances.
When asked why SayF, Priyesh V Gandhi, Co-Founder at SayF, said, “Indians’ love for gold, cashback and savings, has been just growing, and we at SayF club have put all this into a single product, where you spend, earn and invest all in a single transaction at our 300+ brands stores ranging from Swiggy, Uber to Reliance smart. We are very excited to get support from such marquee investors in our journey.”
Aman Singh, Co-Founder at SayF, said, “It is fascinating to see how users are adapting to the new way of investing. At SayF, we are building a product made for India from the ground up & fits exactly to India’s ethos of saving & investing. We promise that there has never been an easier way to start investing while making simple daily transactions. Go & give it a try now & we are sure you will be amazed.”
Bipin Shah, Partner at Titan Capital, said, “Future is uncertain, and it has become imperative to build up the finance to survive in the unprecedented time and to meet various other objectives of day-to-day life. SayF is one platform that is paving the way for Indians to make smart decisions when it comes to saving money. We are happy to be associated with SayF and its talented team. We see a huge potential in their venture. With SayF, users can manage their personal finances, save money, and invest”.
Savings with SayF are 7x higher in comparison to other existing savings apps. More than 50K SayF users, and 76% came via referrals. Over the last four months, the platform has processed more than Rs 7,50,00,000+ transactions and helped users invest about Rs 40,00,000+. Going forward, SayF will help to track, spend, save, earn and invest money all in one place.
