Series B
$175M

The funding round was led by DTCP and values the British maritime defence company at over $1bn.

"Kraken is excited to be partnering with DTCP, leading such a prestigious group of European and international investors. This significant funding round will accelerate Kraken’s global roll-out, enabling the deployment of hardened, reliable, mission-ready capabilities for NATO and its worldwide partners at an unprecedented scale in the maritime domain,"
— Mal Crease, Founder and CEO
Seed
£3.9M

The seed round was led by Notion Capital with backing from a16z Speedrun and Concept Ventures 2100.

"Traditional recruitment is often unsuccessful and, so far, AI hasn’t helped much. We’re currently seeing an AI ‘arms race’ to the bottom, with companies being flooded by AI-generated applications, while individuals are often subjected to inhumane – and unethical – screening. Dex offers an alternative. We’re excited about this seed funding, which will drive our ambition of redefining how talent and opportunity connect."
— Paddy Lambros, Co-Founder and CEO
Series A
£22.4M

Notion Capital led the Series A+ round to accelerate platform development and international partnerships.

"The biggest barrier in global benefits has always been the lack of a single source of truth. It is a problem we have been trying to solve for fifteen years, and it simply was not possible without AI. That is the unlock that makes it possible to digitise one of the most inefficient areas of enterprise spend. Benefits data is complex, scattered, inconsistent, and constantly changing, exactly the kind of problem AI can solve. Origin creates the first trusted source of truth for benefits information, giving organisations visibility into their total global spend for the first time, so they can optimise it, run benefits operations far more efficiently, and deliver a better experience to employees everywhere."
— Chris Bruce, CEO
Series A
£37.5M

Union Square Ventures led the round to support the opening of 25 new manufacturing facilities and international expansion.

"Manufacturing is the origin of our security, prosperity and sense of purpose as nations. This Series A enables us to open more factories, invest in MasonOS, support exceptional franchisees and recruit the best engineers across Europe and the United States. Our mission is to forge industrial acceleration."
— Alexander Fitzgerald
Series A
£18.0M

AlbionVC leads the Series A round to support European expansion and perpetual hedging solutions.

"The world is in a genuinely volatile state, and we don’t believe we’re heading back into a period of stability anytime soon. Exchange rate volatility has never been higher, and most businesses feel that whether they realise it or not."
— Seth Phillips, CEO
