London-based Landytech, the company behind leading investment reporting platform, Sesame, has raised £10m ($12m) in Series B funding.
The round was led by an investment from Aquiline Technology Growth (ATG) and additional investment from existing investor Adelie Capital.
This new capital raise follows on from the £5m ($6m) in Series A funding Landytech achieved in March 2021, recognising the rapid growth attained by the company in that time and its projected continuation.
The funding will accelerate Landytech’s growth, as the company expands internationally, and support its product development in partnership with its client base of single and multi-family offices, trustees, and asset managers.
Landytech has clients in over 15 countries and has established more than 170 connections with custodians across the globe.
Benjamin Moute, CEO and founder of Landytech, said: “Landytech was created to revolutionise the way asset owners, investment managers and advisors access asset information.
“This funding represents a confidence in our go-to-market strategy and our vision to transform the way asset information is sourced and consumed.
“We chose to work with Aquiline owing to their unrivalled expertise at the intersection of financial services and technology.
“This relationship unlocks exciting opportunities as the company expands geographically and continues its development of an industry-leading platform.”
Jeff Greenberg, chairman and CEO of Aquiline Capital Partners, added: “Family offices are a fast-growing segment of the wealth management industry with increasing complexity because of the proliferation of asset classes including private markets and alternatives, and the need for transparency and compliance has never been greater.
“ Landytech’s software was built specifically to cater to the needs of this market, and we believe it is uniquely positioned to capitalise on this growth.
“WealthTech is a key area of focus for ATG and this funding reinforces the strength of its strategy: to support companies that impact the financial services sector. We look forward to partnering with the Landytech team as they enter this next stage.”
