The financing round was led by AlleyCorp and includes debt facilities from HSBC Innovation Banking UK and Avellinia Capital.
"We solve one of the biggest problems in the real economy – suppliers and staff need to be paid on time, yet clients take time to pay."
The digital health provider has raised a £45m Series B extension and growth capital package led by Big Pi Ventures and HSBC Innovation Banking.
"Our latest funding is a testament to both our commercial performance and belief in our long-term vision for providing personalised, preventative health at scale. With the fresh conviction of Big Pi Ventures, Endeavor Catalyst and HSBC Innovation Banking – as well as the continued backing of White Star Capital and our long-term investors – we are now perfectly positioned to expand our reach, deepen our clinical capabilities, and accelerate innovation to help our patients live happier, healthier, longer lives."
The Berlin fintech has raised the debt funding from HSBC Innovation Banking UK and Avellinia Capital to expand its Capital OS platform.
"With our funding product, we’re solving the challenge that tech companies so far would mostly use equity funding to fund their growth. This is a very costly capital source, as it comes with dilution and loss of control. Traditional banks rarely lend to unprofitable tech companies, and venture debt is usually only available for later-stage companies (and often comes with dilution/loss of control as well). With re:cap, tech companies starting from roughly 1m ARR get a flexible, tailored and transparent option to receive growth capital."
The London fintech has secured fresh capital from HSBC Innovation Banking to fuel its international expansion and M&A strategy.
"As a profitable fintech operating at global scale, we have options when it comes to choosing how to invest for the next ten years of growth. This funding allows us to expand the range products we can offer our users and the channels through which we can reach them. HSBC Innovation Banking has been a key strategic partner to enable us to scale at pace and become one of the UK’s leading fintech brands."
