The €5 million Series A fundraising round for Fundcraft, a company that provides digital infrastructure for asset management, has been successfully concluded.

Aperture Capital led the round, and early backers including SIX Fintech Ventures—the CVC division of SIX Group—participated significantly as well.

 

Fundcraft is a tech-driven firm that was founded in 2021 with the goal of revolutionizing the conventional fund administration industry. It provides a complete platform that centralizes and automates a range of activities, allowing stakeholders to communicate seamlessly and cutting costs dramatically.

 

The newly obtained capital will be used mainly to support Fundcraft's aggressive goals for worldwide expansion and to improve product development. Fundcraft hopes to use this investment to further consolidate its position in the industry given the increasing need for digitized and simplified asset management solutions.

 

The asset management sector offers a great deal of room for disruption because of its dependence on antiquated manual procedures. The creative strategy used by Fundcraft attempts to address these inefficiencies by offering a single platform that meets the many requirements of important stakeholders such as fund managers, attorneys, auditors, and others.

 

Fundcraft's founder and CEO, Julien De Mayer, expressed excitement about the most recent investment round, saying, "We're delighted to close this round, with great growth and business partners, amidst still difficult funding conditions." We will be able to expand into new markets and enhance the platform with additional asset classes thanks to this.

 

Olga Porro, the CPO and co-founder of the firm, reiterated similar ideas by emphasizing the possibility of faster innovation and development. "We can now invest more quickly in digitizing and streamlining fund administration operations as we double down on growing this business," Porro said.

 

Co-founder and CTO of Fundcraft Victor Martin emphasized how urgently the asset management sector has to modernize. Martin remarked, "The technology stack used by the asset management industry is outdated, spreadsheet-driven, and inefficient." "Our technology is what powers our digitisation engine, but our services will upend and displace the industry leaders."

 

Moreover, Fundcraft and its investors work together in ways that go beyond just financial support. Given the model's potential for transformation, Aperture Capital in particular is actively involved in improving Fundcraft's go-to-market strategy and execution.

 

The CEO of Aperture Group, Ben Robinson, voiced his belief that Fundcraft will transform asset servicing. Robinson said, "Fundcraft's model captures both supply-side and demand-side economies of scale." "We are thrilled to be expanding our partnership with the Fundcraft group."

 

With a significant infusion of capital and established key alliances, Fundcraft is well-positioned to transform the asset management industry with its cutting-edge, technologically advanced solutions.
