Series A
£9.7M

The investment round was led by Talis Capital with participation from H&M Group Ventures and existing backers.

"At Talis, we partner with founders who are set to redefine their industries with unconventional thinking, and Laced embodies this. We saw the business’ potential from the very beginning and this funding round demonstrates our continued support in becoming the leading marketplace for sought-after sneakers and high end luxury fashion."
— Kirill Tasilov, General Partner
Series A
$15.0M

The Series A round was led by Talis Capital to support team expansion and global growth.

"When we first established the business less than 2 years ago, we could only imagine how quickly the market would respond to our technology-led approach for payment security. We are honoured by the confidence shown by our existing investors and our new investors and the validation from our best in class clients. We look forward to increasing access to more favourable financial security for all parties involved in B2B credit transactions and demonstrating more applications for our MicroBonds."
— Tom Powell, CEO
Series B
£16.1M

The investment was led by Beringea with participation from Talis Capital, Hearst Ventures, and Latitude.

"With British consumers spending more in 2022 than in previous years, there is no room for error and so we strive to set that global standard for quality in the travel sector that has previously been lacking. We are catering to discerning global travellers who simply expect the best; they want unique properties in exciting destinations for a homestay in comfort and style and this investment will allow us to scale up to meet that demand."
— Doron Meyassed, Founder and CEO
Seed
£4.2M

The financing round was led by Talis Capital with participation from multiple angels and existing backers.

"We are delighted to have received such credible investor support to continue on our mission to empower and support those with cancer. It’s imperative that we start understanding how therapies are affecting patients: for pharmaceutical companies, our technology enables deeper patient understanding which leads to better drugs, greater differentiation and faster licensing, as well as the ability to provide personalised scalable support to patients. For patients, this means better care and improved outcomes from cancer. We’re now looking forward to applying our rich data and machine learning capabilities to novel predictive analytics to generate even richer insights for our life science partners."
— Rayna Patel, Founder and CEO
Series A
£2.7M

FinTech Collective and Surplus Invest led the oversubscribed financing round, which brings the total Series A raise to €14m.

"Now more than ever before, we find that investors are looking to residential as a safe haven investment asset class. We have built a sourcing, renovations and property management machinery that allows us to quickly assemble €100-500m sized residential portfolios, made up of single unit assets in a matter of months, that generate very attractive stable returns almost instantly. The demand for residential is increasing, and we are confident to deploy scalable capital and generate superior-to-market returns for our investors across European markets. Our proprietary IMMO Intelligence technology helps investors target specific locations within any European city, to get their desired risk-return exposure. The success of Single-Unit-Residential (SUR) as an investment asset class in markets like the US has been very encouraging for us."
— Hans-Christian Zappel
Series A
€72.0M

The London-based real estate fintech startup secured equity and deployment capital from prominent backers to scale its property platform.

"Selling a property is the biggest and often most stressful transaction in our lives. It takes on average 191 viewings and many months to identify a buyer. About 40%2 of transactions still fall through at that point due to financing risk, changing circumstances and minds. When selling to IMMO, customers enjoy a chain-free, professional experience that is fast, reliable, transparent and convenient. We offer attractive prices without charging fees and enable homesellers to plan their lives around this important transaction."
— Hans-Christian Zappel, CEO & Founder
Series A
£5.2M

The funding round was led by signals Venture Capital with participation from Talis Capital, Mutschler Ventures, IBB Beteiligungsgesellschaft, and Cavalry Ventures.

"It will allow us to streamline high-quality care at scale and take even more work off the hospitals’ and specialists’ shoulders. Our technology helps them to operate more efficiently, be better-utilised and fully focused on what matters most: the best care for patients."
— Daniel Kolb, co-founder and MD
Seed
£2.3M

Anthemis and Menlo Ventures led the financing round alongside five new venture capital firms and angel investors.

"We are delighted to have secured the backing of a fantastic range of investors who fully understand the criticality of the service that Insurdata provides to the re/insurance market. Our work to date has exposed material deficiencies in the quality and scope of information which underwriters are reliant upon, which in turn have a detrimental effect on their ability to accurately price risk and manage portfolios effectively."
— Jason Futers, CEO
Series C
£38.3M

The Series C financing was led by SBI Investment and Salesforce Ventures to support international expansion and product development.

"We chose to invest in Onfido because they have proven their expertise at using artificial intelligence to effectively fight fraud, giving businesses a safe and secure way to scale their businesses online."
— Tomoyuki Nii, Executive Officer
Series B
£14.0M

The funding round was led by Talis Capital to support a rollout across twelve new cities.

"Most rental platforms are trying to get as many people as possible to use their site. We are clearly targeting a highly discerning group of affluent professionals that live in global megacities, love to travel and value great design, quality and locations,"
— Doron Meyassed, Founder and CEO
