Cognitive Credit raises £6m Series A funding from Fitch Ventures and other backers to expand globally

Fitch Ventures led the Series A round to support the company as it expands its team and enters the US market.
Cognitive Credit provides specialist data and analytics software designed for corporate credit markets. The firm delivers automated credit models and workflow tools for institutional investors.
Cognitive Credit has secured £6m in a Series A funding round led by Fitch Ventures, with participation from XTX Ventures, Pentech, and several industry insiders. The company will direct the capital towards expanding its team in the UK, entering the US market, and launching new products for global credit markets. This investment follows a period of notable growth in 2021 as financial institutions increasingly adopt technological solutions to improve efficiency in corporate credit analysis.
Established nearly four years ago, Cognitive Credit provides advanced applications designed to relieve investment teams of manual data extraction tasks. Its client base includes major investment banks, asset managers, hedge funds, and advisory firms. The fresh funding will support the firm as it scales its operations internationally and extends its market presence.

Every day we strive to push the boundaries of what technology can do for credit investors, and we see huge opportunities to collaborate with our new strategic partners in this area. We have received phenomenal feedback from clients over the past year, and with this capital raise and near-term additions to the team, we couldn’t be more excited about our global expansion and further product roll-out in 2022."
