Sam Kukuk: Cleverly's €12M Series A for Restaurant Payments

Sam Kukuk, co-founder and CEO of Cleverly, announces a €12 million Series A led by PayPal Ventures with IFF (Italian Founders Fund) joining and follow-ons from Global PayTech Ventures, Antler and Shapers, taking total funding to €20 million. He explains Cleverly's focus on restaurants — tap-to-pay that turns handheld ordering devices into payment terminals plus a new "Tap 2" suite for reviews and loyalty — with 4,000+ merchants in the Netherlands and expansion into Italy and Belgium. He also covers relationship-driven restaurant sales, how most of Europe still runs non-integrated payment setups, his background at payments startup Unipass, and why PayPal's fintech depth made it the right lead.

Sam Kukuk: Clearly's €12M Series A led by PayPal Ventures

Sam Kukuk, joining by phone after audio issues, announces Clearly's €12 million Series A led by PayPal Ventures with the Italian Founders Fund and existing investors, bringing total funding to €20 million. He traces his background to an early-stage online-payments startup and argues in-person payments — 80% of the market but a fraction of the innovation — are ripe for change, with Clearly focused on restaurants: 4,000+ merchants in the Netherlands and expansion into Italy and Belgium. He explains tap-to-pay turning handhelds into payment terminals, the new tap-to-suite for reviews and loyalty, and why PayPal's trust-network, product-first approach won him over.
