Capitolis, a FinTech focused on capital markets infrastructure, has announced the close of a $56m funding round supported by both strategic bank investors and venture capital firms.
The latest round includes new investments from Barclays and BNP Paribas, who join existing investor J.P. Morgan. Other backers from earlier stages—Citi, Morgan Stanley, State Street, and UBS—also participated. Venture capital firms Canapi Ventures, 9Yards Capital, and Greenfield Partners, which previously invested in the company’s Series D in 2022, have also increased their financial support.
Capitolis partners with leading financial institutions to provide optimisation and capital marketplace solutions aimed at improving efficiency in capital markets. Its offerings are designed to help financial firms streamline and better utilise their balance sheets.
The new capital will support the company’s continued expansion across its Capital Marketplace and Portfolio Optimization businesses. Capitolis is aiming to build on its strong momentum by accelerating growth in both areas.
The company positions itself as a long-term strategic partner to major banks, helping them manage and optimise their capital usage. Its growing list of clients and investors underlines a shared confidence in its infrastructure-first approach to capital markets innovation.
Capitolis CEO and founder Gil Mandelzis said, “We are thrilled for the continued support from strategic global banks, and we are excited to welcome Barclays and BNP on board and have J.P. Morgan reaffirm their commitment to Capitolis. It is also exciting to see a strong vote of confidence from our VC investors who participated in our Series D round and are strengthening their support even further. These investments will help us further accelerate our growth and expansion in the capital markets as we continue our strong business momentum.”
Barclays head of US principal investments Kester Keating said, “We’re pleased to support the ongoing development of innovative products by Capitolis, and this investment further cements the collaboration between our firms.”
BNP Paribas head of strategic investments Junaid Baig said, “We’re excited to support the growth of Capitolis and collaborate with its strong leadership team in developing innovative solutions that enable us to better serve our clients.”
J.P. Morgan global head of rates trading Matthew Franklin-Lyons said, “Capitolis continues to demonstrate innovation within financial markets and we are pleased to support them.”
Canapi managing partner Gene Ludwig said, “Capitolis is a great company, becoming greater with exciting products and strong leadership. On behalf of my partners at Canapi, we are pleased to be a financial supporter of this exceptional company and management team.”
9Yards Capital managing partner Theo Osborne said, “Capitolis is an N-of-1 company building critical infrastructure for the capital markets industry. We are very excited to continue backing Gil and the team’s vision to bring great efficiency to the backbone of our global economies.”
Greenfield Partners managing partner Shay Grinfeld said, “Capitolis continues to deliver solutions that make capital markets safer and more efficient. We are thrilled to see what Gil and team have been able to accomplish to date and look forward to continuing to support Capitolis on its journey.”
The company last raised capital in its Series D round in 2022, with Canapi Ventures, 9Yards Capital, and Greenfield Partners among the investors in that round.
