Seed
£81.1M

The seed financing was led by Soma Capital and FoundersX with additional backing from Clear Haven Capital Management.

"Since securing our pre-seed funding and completing the Y Combinator programme, the total value of invoices we’re handling every month has increased tenfold. Traction is growing fast because suppliers and business buyers alike simply understand and like what Tranch can do for them. Against this challenging macroeconomic backdrop, buyers and suppliers have to ensure they can optimise their working capital cycle, and B2B BNPL is a commonsense way to achieve that. With our new investors and substantial credit facility in place, we’re in a great position to continue our growth in the US market out of our New York office so that every SMB that needs it can ‘pay with Tranch’ – flexibly and on their own terms."
— Philip Kelvin, Co-founder & CEO
Seed
£2.4M

The seed round was led by Metaplanet Holdings with backing from several institutional investors and angels.

"We are thrilled to have closed our first external investment round, which was so popular we could have filled 2 or 3 times over. We are excited to kick on and start building out our fleet at scale, starting with our 11 satellite constellation for night time imagery"
— Tom Walkinshaw, Founder and CEO
