Element Ventures led the Series A round to support team expansion and product development.

"Crypto can be complex and confusing and people have valid fears around the safety of their funds. With Coincover, we are providing a fundamental building block for a rapidly maturing market by ensuring that people can be protected against making a mistake that can end up costing them thousands. This investment means we can rapidly scale our growth to market and consumer demands, and in doing so ensure more people can invest in crypto safely."
— David Janczewski, CEO and co-founder
Seed
£11.0M

The seed round was backed by participants including Alan Howard, FinTech Collective, and NYDIG.

"Raising £11 million and reaching a post-money valuation of £51 million is a testament to the scale of Bottlepay’s ambition, and an illustration of the effort and resources invested to build and design a revolutionary payments infrastructure of this magnitude."
— Mark Webster, Chief Executive Officer
Series A
£2.7M

FinTech Collective and Surplus Invest led the oversubscribed financing round, which brings the total Series A raise to €14m.

"Now more than ever before, we find that investors are looking to residential as a safe haven investment asset class. We have built a sourcing, renovations and property management machinery that allows us to quickly assemble €100-500m sized residential portfolios, made up of single unit assets in a matter of months, that generate very attractive stable returns almost instantly. The demand for residential is increasing, and we are confident to deploy scalable capital and generate superior-to-market returns for our investors across European markets. Our proprietary IMMO Intelligence technology helps investors target specific locations within any European city, to get their desired risk-return exposure. The success of Single-Unit-Residential (SUR) as an investment asset class in markets like the US has been very encouraging for us."
