The financing round was led by KB Partners alongside Koppenberg Management, Match Ventures, and private syndicates.
"This round allows us to scale what we know already works. We have strong consumer demand, proven technology, and growing adoption among professionals.

Our new investors share our vision and understand how big the demand for our technology is, and we are ready to scale at speed,"

The Series A round was led by Eos Ventures and the Development Bank of Wales to scale investment products and expand operations.
"A lot of hardworking professionals look like they’re doing well on paper, but still feel unsure whether they’re actually making the most of their money. They’ve outgrown entry-level investing tools, yet traditional wealth management often feels overcomplicated and expensive for what it delivers. Sidekick is designed to remove unnecessary complexity and give people access to investment tools that have traditionally sat inside private banking. This funding allows us to scale that approach, expand our investment offering and reach more people who want transparency rather than complexity."
AlbionVC leads the Series A round to support European expansion and perpetual hedging solutions.
"The world is in a genuinely volatile state, and we don’t believe we’re heading back into a period of stability anytime soon. Exchange rate volatility has never been higher, and most businesses feel that whether they realise it or not."
Smartfin has led a £10m Series A round in Incard to support international expansion and product development.
"As entrepreneurs we noticed there was a clear mismatch between how digital businesses actually operate and the financial tools that were available to them. Every industry has unique financial workflows and they need a system that understands how they operate – one that centralises finance, provides spend insights, tracks real-time cash flow, and includes industry-specific add-ons. They need to have visibility of all of that, in a single place."
