WestCap led the Series B round with participation from Citi, EJF Capital and Optiver PSI.
"We believe that lending your stocks, bonds and ETFs is a basic ownership right that should be made available to all. As private investor participation increases in capital markets, we are leveling the playing field so that private investors, through their brokers and banks, can benefit from income generating solutions that have been largely restricted to big financial institutions. We are humbled by this vote of confidence from such a strong group of investors. This partnership enables us to accelerate our global growth plans and scale, expand our offering faster and realize our vision of opening up securities lending to every investor worldwide."
HydrogenOne Capital Growth led the Series B round with support from IP Group, Parkwalk Advisors, BGF, and the UCL Technology Fund.
"Hydrogen, through its green production from electrolysis or its use in fuel cells to provide clean power, is critical for the transition to net zero. Bramble Energy brings a fundamentally different approach to these technologies, unlocking the deployment of hydrogen faster, more flexibly and at scale. We are delighted to contribute substantially to this significant funding round which will take Bramble to the next stage."
The Cambridge biotechnology company has raised £31.4m from investors including M&G and Amadeus Capital Partners to advance its desktop protein printer.
"There’s a fundamental productivity problem in biotech today. A biotech scientist needs to know how to make proteins to design drugs. That’s like expecting a computer scientist to know how to build a computer to design software,"
The funding round was led by Prime Ventures with participation from Octopus Ventures and Hannover Digital Investments.
"We are thrilled to have our new investors on board. The Vitesse team have built an incredibly strong and highly regulated platform, supported by our own global payment network and treasury capability, and we have successfully shown the value of these assets to our fast-expanding customer base. We have strong ambitions to grow and to continue our success with a strong focus on the insurance market."
Lightrock led the equity portion of the round alongside debt financing from Goldman Sachs and GGC to fund expansion.
"Historically, homeowners across the UK have been underserved when it comes to accessing wealth created from their largest asset – their home. Selina’s disruptive lending model allows consumers to unlock previously inaccessible capital, whilst having the flexibility to utilise the lending facility and return as per convenience. The team at Selina have achieved impressive growth with over $100m in loans issued since founding in 2019. Lightrock is delighted to be backing such an innovative team and looks forward to supporting Selina as it disrupts traditionally inflexible lenders."
