"Starling is one of the leading and most innovative digital banks in the UK, with an ambitious technology-first leadership team and addressing a deep market opportunity.

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."
Dawn Capital led the funding round, with participation from major banking institutions including Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan, Citi, and Goldman Sachs.
"We have been proud supporters of AccessFintech since their origins in our In Residence programme and are pleased to support the next stage of their growth."
The online lender secured £8m in growth private equity alongside continued credit support from Goldman Sachs.
"The fact that we were able to raise £8 million for an online small business lender in the midst of a global pandemic from sophisticated investors with industry experience speaks to Capify’s business model, the unprecedented opportunity ahead of us and its management team"
The investment round was co-led by Lakestar and Dawn Capital with participation from Temasek and Goldman Sachs.
"When we founded Eigen five years ago, I wanted build a research-led transatlantic business. Since the Series A we have made great progress by massively scaling the company, expanding our client base, and integrating cutting-edge machine learning techniques into our NLP product. This new round will allow us to supercharge our growth. 80-90% of the enterprise data in the world today is unstructured information such as text, meaning that most organizations are unable to it unlock its value. With continuing economic uncertainty and the ongoing disruption by data-native companies such as Google, Tencent, and Amazon the imperative to be able to leverage this data is stronger than ever. The new funding will enable Eigen to further its core mission by unlocking the value of our clients’ qualitative data. This will be underpinned by another big investment in our science team, which will double in size so that we can continue to stay at the forefront of machine learning research."
