FINBOURNE Technology, a London-based startup raised £55 million in Series B funding. The round was led by Highland Europe (which invested in ME+EM and Hyperexponential) and AXA Venture Partners (AVP) and follows a Series A funding round of £15 million raised back in 2021. 

How will it use the investment?

This investment will fund the next phase in FINBOURNE’s commercial development, including expanding its sales, product, and marketing capabilities in the US, UK, Ireland, Singapore, and Australia. 

Tony Zappala, Partner, Highland Europe commented: “Over the past few years, FINBOURNE has built a revolutionary SaaS platform that is enabling many of the world’s biggest financial institutions to move from legacy, siloed solutions to a modern data architecture, allowing full, real-time visibility and optimal decision making. We look forward to supporting the FINBOURNE team as it expands operations globally to support more clients and continues its mission to deliver cost and operational efficiencies at scale.”

Imran Akram, General Partner, AVP said: “When the team first showed me in 2020 that they could integrate investment data from the full universe of assets held by managers into a single platform, they had me hooked. Today this is a clear differentiator and is especially important to the emerging AI wave. We are excited to help FINBOURNE as they expand their product suite and bring its benefits to a broader set of financial services customers.”
