Automated regulatory reporting technology provider Cappitech has raised $4 million in its series A financing led by 83North, a global venture capital firm with more than $800 million under management.
Other investors include IHS Markit co-founders Rony Grushka and Kevin Gould. IHS Markit is a top financial information company listed on Nasdaq and valued at $20 billion. Rony Grushka, an expert business developer and non-executive director at Algomi, joins the Cappitech board.
Cappitech has been self-funded to date. The funds raised will allow the company to put into practice a plan to accelerate product development, expand regulatory reach, provide business intelligence and big data analytics using AI, increase its investment in sales and marketing, and expand its global footprint. The European market will be the number one target as demand for regulatory technology reaches an all-time high.
Cappitech provides compliance solutions for MiFID II, EMIR, ASIC, RTS 27, Best Execution and other regulatory requirements with its CapptivateTM platform, which is used by industry leaders including TRAX, Provinzial NordWest and Swissquote.
The Israel-based company’s international transaction reporting solution serves a wide range of financial institutions, from banks and insurance companies to brokers, asset managers, and corporates. Additionally, Cappitech’s Best Execution product empowers financial institutions with regulatory intelligence from the trade data in their system.
