4dev.com Unveils Funding Hub, Simplifying Cross-Border Investment in Startups

2•darius88•2h ago
December 29th, 2025

4dev.com, the global fintech platform for compliant contractor payouts helping tech startups hire and pay remote professionals, announces the launch of Funding Hub. It’s a platform within 4dev.com designed to simplify international fundraising and investor operations for early-stage startups. Funding Hub provides a complete legal, financial, and operational framework for running and closing investment rounds — eliminating the need for bank commissions and the overhead of in-house legal teams.

KPMG’s recent report states that global VC investments reached $120 billion in Q3 2025 with ongoing strong international investment flows, reflecting sustained cross-border interest. A European Commission study shows that cross-border investments in Europe now make up, on average, 23.1%, with substantial growth underway. Addressing this emerging trend, Funding Hub by 4dev.com offers an advanced technical infrastructure designed to simplify and optimize international venture funding for all participants.

It matches investors and startups aligned with their priorities, and oversees every technical, financial, and legal aspect of the transaction — including deal structuring. This is particularly valuable for remote-first startups seeking international investment across different jurisdictions.

Funding Hub by 4dev.com supports both fiat and crypto payments in over 150 countries under full compliance with KYT requirements, in partnership with licensed European payment processors. Through its integrated KYC/KYB system, 4dev.com verifies both founders and companies before any funds are released.

“As a global contractor payouts platform, we saw firsthand the challenges startups and contractors face securing and distributing funding. It struck us: why not apply our expertise beyond payroll and help startups connect with investors in the same seamless way? Startups shouldn’t need an army of lawyers or CFOs to close their first round, and investors shouldn’t struggle with outdated payment rails or KYC friction. Funding Hub automates all that, eliminating unnecessary complexity and allowing founders and investors focus on growth, not bureaucracy. Now startups can raise capital through 4dev.com and then use our platform to pay their teams”, says Artem Vershinsky, Head of Funding Hub by 4dev.com.

Unlike traditional fundraising software, Funding Hub does not charge upfront fees — it operates on a success-based model. Startups pay a 2% fee only upon completion of a round, while investors pay a 2% advisory fee, with no prepayments or hidden charges, ensuring predictable expenses.

The platform enables direct participation in startup funding rounds starting from $50,000, with capacity of 100 startups entering the pipeline each month. The average round timeline is just eight weeks — a fraction of the time traditional fundraising processes take.

During the pilot phase, Funding Hub supported rounds for clients including Realytics, Aurum Dust, and Top Secret Cleanup, exceeding $1.1 million in total managed volume. The service aims to become the go-to investment partner for high-impact early-stage startups, focusing on volume and visibility rather than large institutional rounds.

With over 30 active venture investors in the community, Funding Hub is now open for onboarding new startups. The platform targets high-growth sectors including AI & ML, fintech, Web3, gamedev, AdTech, and EdTech.
