This investment is a component of a larger £3.4 million financing deal meant to drive the business into its next stage of expansion.

Integrum ESG's ability to fulfill the growing demand from asset managers for timely and transparent ESG data would be strengthened by the funding. The growing regulatory and socio-political demands on investors are the driving forces behind this requirement.

The cloud-native, SaaS Integrum ESG platform was introduced in 2019 and provides objective ESG benchmarking and assessment. It uses proprietary AI, machine learning, and natural language processing technology to serve asset managers and advisers in both the public and private markets.

Shai Hill, a former equities analyst, developed Integrum ESG after realizing the opaqueness of current ESG ratings and the rising financial impact of ESG factors. By gathering, confirming, and presenting detailed ESG data, the platform helps asset managers overcome these obstacles and makes timely and well-informed investment choices.

The platform's own machine learning models take information from news articles, social media posts, and business disclosures. Integrum ESG's research experts then carefully review the information before making it public on the site. The goal of combining AI with human oversight is to produce an accurate and thorough ESG analysis tool.

"YFM recognized and supported our vision from the beginning, helping to create a world where investors can understand the importance of sustainability," Shai Hill stated. Their enthusiasm for our business model—which combines artificial intelligence and human intelligence to support professional investors—was sparked by their years of expertise supporting the expansion of tech-driven businesses. They have continuously offered knowledgeable advice. With the support of the YFM team, we are eager to begin the next stage of our growth adventure.

"There is a growing need for asset managers, in both private and public markets, to accurately capture, benchmark, and report ESG data at the portfolio level," said David Wrench, a partner at YFM. Unfortunately, the conventional approach of gathering data by hand, filtering it, examining it, evaluating it, and comparing it against ESG requirements is costly, time-consuming, and prone to information oversight and human mistake.

Furthermore, there is a growing possibility of regulatory challenges to the strategy of depending on third-party black box ratings. Through the development of unique technologies and a thorough grasp of their market's demands, Integrum ESG has created a solution that might change the game. We have no doubt that interest in their cutting-edge platform will only increase.
