Cappitech Raises $4 Million in Series A Financing to Fuel Growth and Innovation

Cappitech is excited to announce that we have secured $4 million in series A financing. The financing round was led by 83North with participation from Rony Grushka and Kevin Gould, co-founders of Markit, one of the world’s most highly respected financial information companies with a market cap of $20 billion. As part of the agreement, Rony Grushka, renowned for his expertise in accelerating global business growth, joins the Cappitech board.

Cappitech, a RegTech100 company which has been self-funded to date, plans to use the funds to accelerate product development, expand regulatory reach and provide business intelligence and big data analytics using AI. Cappitech will also increase its investment in sales and marketing, expanding its global footprint, particularly across Europe, as demand for high-quality regulatory technology reaches an all-time high.

Capptivate Reporting Platform

With increased regulatory requirements being imposed on the financial services industry and hefty fines for non-compliance, an emerging space has developed for innovative leaders to provide compliance solutions that help companies meet MiFID II, EMIR, ASIC, RTS 27, Best Execution and other compliance obligations. Cappitech’s Capptivate platform bridges the gap between financial institutions and the regulators. It enables financial institutions to comply in an easy, cost-effective and time efficient way. The organisation’s prestigious client base includes TRAX, Provinzial NordWest and Swissquote.
