Extra episode: Today’s announcement: Duco van Lanschot (Duna) on a $30M Series A

Leaders in Finance Podcast · 2026-02-05

In this extra episode, Jeroen Broekema speaks with Duco van Lanschot, founder of Duna, right after the company shared its latest news: Duna has raised a $30M Series A, with continued backing from existing investors.

So what is Duna building, exactly? Duco explains the “trust infrastructure” behind business onboarding: KYC, CDD and AML checks for companies, handled end to end, so banks, fintechs and platforms can onboard business customers faster, with less friction and stronger compliance. Duco shares why identity remains one of the internet’s biggest unresolved challenges, what it takes to earn the trust of large, regulated clients, and why Duna is investing most of this new funding in product and R&D.
