Joust Labs, a fintech platform for freelancers and entrepreneurs, said it raised $2.6 million in a seed round of funding led by PTB Ventures.

The round, which will be used to expand the neobank, was backed by Accion Venture Lab, Financial Venture Studio and Techstars. Joust allows freelancers and other small business customers to get advances against their unpaid invoices. 

"At Joust we understand the growing market of self-employed workers, freelancers and small businesses and their need for an all-in-one banking solution — especially one that gives them the same benefits enjoyed by major corporations," Lamine Zarrad, CEO at Joust, said in a company release.
