Series A
£15.6M

The funding round was led by OMERS Ventures with participation from Felix Capital and various private investors.

"We’re really excited to be partnering with the OMERS Ventures and Felix Capital teams – both to expand our product offering and also inspire even more people to decorate, all around the world. At Lick we offer paint, wallpapers, blinds and decorating supplies, but what we’re really building is a people-powered decorating movement; and confidence in decorators of every level to transform their spaces, and make their homes their own."
— Lucas London, Co-Founder
Series A
£13.5M

The Cambridge-based semiconductor IP supplier raised the funds to scale its engineering and commercial teams in Asia and North America.

"What excites us about Agile Analog is the potential for scale. Every other analog IP supplier is restricted to selling a limited range of standard IP products. But because Agile Analog’s unique technology enables it to create the IP that the customer wants, it can satisfy a wider range of customer requirements, and integrate more functionality into a chip design. As a result, the company is not limited by the size of today’s analog IP market – Agile Analog’s addressable market is potentially as big as the analog chip market. That is a huge opportunity which OMERS Ventures is pleased to help Agile Analog explore."
— Henry Gladwyn, Partner
Series B
£38.4M

London Stock Exchange Group and other major backers join Series B round to support international growth and technology development.

"The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the effectiveness of the public markets, with companies recapitalising quickly and efficiently. Our technology has allowed thousands of retail investors to participate on equal terms with institutional investors, unlocking a large and important source of liquidity and long-term share ownership for corporate issuers. The response from Boards and their advisers to our solution has been excellent: they recognise our digital solution for retail inclusion brings together both good governance and best execution."
— Anand Sambasivan, CEO and co-founder
Series B
£12.0M

The investment round was led by OMERS Ventures with support from existing backers Kindred Capital and Moneysupermarket Group.

"Raising growth capital from leading investors such as OMERS Ventures is a testament to the strength of our business model and the great work that the Flagstone team does every day to support clients with protecting their cash deposit investments. This new financing will support the acceleration of our plans to extend our penetration of the UK market to new customer segments."
— Simon Merchant, Co-Founder and CEO
