HUBX Secures $5.5 Million in Funding to Turbocharge Digital Capital Markets

In a big‑bang move today, the private‑capital‑raising platform HUBX announced it closed a $5.5 million (£4.2 million) round – brand‑new second tranche delivered and out of the way.

Investors on Board

Established by a blend of fiscal heavy‑hitters and savvy individual backers, the latest capital influx was led by:

Basinghall Partners (European B2B tech venture fund)
Barclays
ELITE
Various individual investors

All of them are ready to help HUBX scale faster than a rocket on steroids.

What’s the Money Going Into?

With the fresh cash, HUBX will ramp up its product roadmap, size up the workforce and supercharge marketing & distribution. Think of it as a spare battery for a high‑end electric car.

Quick Snapshot of HUBX

Founded in 2015, HUBX is on a mission to simplify and connect private‑capital raising. Their tech does two main things:

Automation & Data Insights – sparks speed, collaboration, and deeper network visibility.
Deal Flow Acceleration – amplifies revenue opportunities while trimming risk for all fortunes involved.

During the digital‑transformation boom of 2020, the demand for HUBX’s solutions surged, and that momentum continues.

The Modern Landscape

The platform works hand‑in‑hand with: start‑ups, banks, brokers, exchanges, helping them:

Raise capital
Execute private placements
Syndicate deals across the financing spectrum

Thanks to a cloud‑based backbone, clients can spin up branded deal‑execution modules in a flash, integrating smoothly via APIs.

Integrating Legacy & Digital

By linking front‑office dashes to core back‑office systems, institutions fully digitize their capital‑raising gigs, get a real speed boost, and still keep their trusty legacy infrastructure humming.
