London-headquartered startup, Outpost, the AI-powered platform that enables merchants to sell worldwide with zero liability, has  raised £13m ($17.5m) in Series A funding.

The round was led by Ribbit, which is known for backing category-defining companies such as Revolut, Coinbase, and Stripe.

The investment round was supported by existing investors, including Better Tomorrow Ventures, which previously led a $3m seed round less than a year ago.

Angel investors also include executives from Revolut, Uber, Affirm, Airwallex, Checkout and others.

Outpost is already supporting merchants operating across Europe, North America, LATAM and Asia, including subscription platforms, consumer software companies, and cross-border eCommerce brands.

At the core of the platform is Outpost’s proprietary AI engine – critical infrastructure designed to make international trade as simple as domestic commerce.

Over the next few months, Outpost will use the funding to significantly accelerate product development, expand jurisdictional coverage, and increase headcount to meet the rapidly rising global demand for liability-free commerce infrastructure.

Ex-Revolut Will Mahon-Heap, CEO and founder at Outpost, who previously led Revolut’s international expansion, said: “Brexit, shifting tariffs, and regulatory fragmentation have made cross-border commerce more hostile than at any point in the last two decades.

“Merchants are forced to choose between spending millions on consultants and local entity setup, or carrying enormous risk on payments and compliance.

“Outpost exists to eliminate that trade-off.”
