LinkedInExisting investors including BNP Paribas and J.P. Morgan backed the growth round.
"Inefficiencies in the proxy voting system have led to both issuers and investors, the crucial end users in the process, being disenfranchised with their experience, and Proxymity was founded to radically improve the process for everyone in the ecosystem radically, ensuring access to real-time data, full transparency of voting status and activity and regulatory compliance."
Mediant led the latest financing alongside participation from Citi Ventures and Deutsche Börse Group.
"We are pleased to support Proxymity and their transformative platform for global proxy voting and disclosure, as they work to bring the benefits of digital investor communications to the industry as a whole."
The investment round was backed by a consortium of major financial institutions including BNY Mellon, Citi, and Computershare.
"We’re delighted to announce this successful round of fundraising, both in terms of the confidence our investors have shown in us, and in accessing new funds to fuel our significant global momentum. We continue to work closely with all our founding consortium members, and together, the Proxymity team is delivering on our vision, changing the industry ecosystem for the better."
The strategic funding round was backed by eight major financial institutions including BNY Mellon, Citi, Clearstream, Computershare, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, J.P. Morgan, and State Street.
