Global Founders Capital led the Series A round to support the growth of the educational finance platform.

"The future of work in the digital economy means continuous learning from 16-65 years old, or as the American’s say K to grey. We are looking to democratise funding of tech and coding courses by removing barriers for upfront payment or having to take out high interest loans. We don’t believe in charging our users and have instead opted to build a business model that charges a merchant fee to our partners and is free to the enduser (the student)."
— Brett Shanley, Founder and CEO
Debt
£20.4M

The funding round was led by Mouro Capital with participation from existing backers and angel investors.

"Uncapped was born out of frustrations I faced launching and running my first business. I didn’t want to take financing from the banks because they all wanted personal guarantees. Venture capital wasn’t ideal either as I didn’t want to lose equity, so I repeatedly missed out on growth opportunities. With this further funding Uncapped is ideally positioned to help hundreds of more businesses across the UK and Europe grow to their full potential."
— Asher Ismail
Seed
€5.6M

The seed round was led by Global Founders Capital and Partech with backing from existing investors.

— Daniel Wartołowski, COO and Co-Founder
Seed

"During our research we spoke with hundreds of teams who were struggling to move quickly because of the limitations of their data infrastructure. The teams making the most progress were having to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, across separate solutions, to help them get their data under control and it was taking them up to 12-18 months to purchase and implement it all."
— Oliver Hughes, Co-founder
