Finaureus Technologies Pvt. Ltd said it has raised funding from proprietary investment firm Pinetree Capital.
The funding is part of the company's pre-Series A round, Finareus said in a statement without disclosing the financial details of the transaction.
Pinetree Capital is owned by Nanda S, a financial services professional turned entrepreneur.
Meanwhile, Finaureus also launched an online investment advisory platform -- AlphaNiti -- under a joint venture with US-based Validea. AlphaNiti will help investors invest in both the US and Indian markets.
Pune-based Finaureus, which was launched in 2017, is engaged in providing investment management solutions. Through its AlhpaNiti platform, it also plans to launch proprietary investment strategies for all prominent asset classes, with an initial focus on equity and mutual funds.
The startup was founded by Arindam Ghosh, former CEO of global asset management firm Mirae Asset and U R Bhat, who was formerly with JP Morgan and led Dalton group UK's entry into India, according to the company's website.
