Investor perspective
"B2B fintech is an area of significant growth as incumbent businesses are increasingly forced to adapt and innovate, accelerated by the current environment. We believe fintech can flourish in the Cambridge technology ecosystem, particularly given the presence of the world-class Cambridge Judge Business School and Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance. We’re eager to back a diverse and multi-faceted team and we remain impressed with the significant progress the team has made on their product, technology, and overall value proposition as they develop a transformational solution for investment businesses. We are delighted to back them again with a follow-on investment."
