Seed
£4.0M

Ahren and Speedinvest co-led the seed round to help the data collaboration platform expand its engineering and design teams.

"Where traditionally the legal process behind sharing raw data between parties can take months or even years, Bitfount’s secure network instead allows algorithms to travel to datasets rather than the other way around, which means there needn’t be any disclosure of sensitive information. This new paradigm unlocks opportunities for both analysis and machine learning that were previously impossible – either because they required sharing of sensitive raw data, or because the contractual agreements were prohibitively complex."
— Blaise Thomson, CEO and Co-founder
