9fin has become the UK’s latest unicorn after raising almost £130 million in Series C funding.

Total funding raised by the firm – described as an AI-native platform for global debt markets – now exceeds $250m. 

HarbourVest led the round with participation from Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) and earlier investors Redalpine, Highland Europe, Spark Capital and Seedcamp. It will expand 9fin’s proprietary dataset and support continued growth in the United States. 

The London FinTech, founded by former J.P. Morgan banker Steven Hunter and Deutsche Bank engineer Hussam EL-Sheikh, has been valued at $1.3 billion by the investment.
