FRANKFURT, Germany - July 5, 2019 - PRLog -- BITA, one of Frankfurt's fastest growing fintech companies, raised €1.25M from a group of local and international investors. BITA, a provider of software for indexation and systematic investing used by large financial institutions, is addressing one of the fastest growing segments in finance: index-based investing.

The company has raised venture capital from the newly founded German VC fund Futury Ventures, Dutch VC fund Volta Ventures and Belgian investor Michel Akkermans. Victor Gomez, CEO of BITA and ex-SVP of Ventures at Deutsche Börse, says: "With this funding, we will be in a good position to accelerate our technology roadmap and expand our sales internationally.

BITA will use the funding to accelerate sales in Europe and make further investments in technology and data management.
