"This Series B round is a huge vote of confidence in the untapped potential of investing in Europe and Lightyear’s ability to make the difference. Driving meaningful progress in this market means removing barriers to entry and demystifying investing for ordinary people. That’s why we feel so strongly about our vision for AI and the future of investing. Europe is still a society of savers with completely independent tax systems, different regulations and complicated infrastructure – it’s definitely not a one-size-fits-all solution. We’re making huge leaps forward in our mission to enable 750 million Europeans to build meaningful wealth, so it’s an incredibly exciting time for the business right now."

Legacy processes using Word, PDFs and email slow things down not only for lawyers but for everyone who handles contracts.

This has saved customers millions of hours of time and helped them to agree terms faster than ever. We are delighted to partner with Eight Roads as we scale up."

With this further funding Uncapped is ideally positioned to help hundreds of more businesses across the UK and Europe grow to their full potential."
The round was led by LocalGlobe and will support the development of the company protocol ahead of its public release.
