Kuberno, the global legal entity management SaaS provider, has closed on an additional £6M of financing from Nasdaq Ventures and Barclays, concluding its Series A round with £9.5M of total capital raised.
Since closing on the first tranche of funding from Nasdaq Ventures in March 2023, Kuberno has delivered 3x annual revenue growth and quadrupled its headcount to support rapid global expansion, including the launch of its US subsidiary in Q1 2024. Since launch, the company has successfully onboarded several publicly listed US clients with multi-billion dollar market capitalizations.
Kuberno’s growth has been supported by both Series A investors. In connection with Nasdaq’s initial investment in the company, Kuberno and Nasdaq entered into a global referral partnership that will be enhanced with a product integration into Nasdaq’s suite of governance solutions to better support mutual clients. Barclays is in the process of adopting Kuberno’s software to support management of its legal entities.
This latest round of investment will be used to fuel Kuberno’s sustainable growth through continued global expansion, with a focus on the US market, and new product features, including AI powered tools, that turn entity data into actionable insights for governance, tax, finance and legal teams.
Kuberno’s cutting edge legal entity management platform - Kube - provides a single source of trusted entity data for global organisations. Intelligent workflows and automation powers up collaboration across teams and jurisdictions, delivering streamlined governance and compliance which frees up teams involved in entity management from more administrative tasks. Kuberno users have more time to add value through their professional expertise and insights. Kanvas, Kuberno’s new data visualisation tool, enables the analysis of entity relationships through interactive charting - bringing entity data to life.
Zoe Bucknell, CEO and Co-Founder of Kuberno, said: “We have invested heavily in data architecture and leveraged our governance expertise to build data structures that ensure the utmost integrity around entity data, which enables the development of highly accurate and time-saving AI features. Thanks to this funding round, we can supercharge the Kube platform to empower enterprises to manage, analyse and visualise entity data in a way that will transform day-to-day operational efficiency. We’re delighted to be partnering with Barclays as both a customer and investor, and to see our relationship with Nasdaq Ventures go from strength to strength.”
Ryan Hayward, Head of Strategic Investments for Europe and Asia at Barclays, said: “We’ve witnessed the power of the Kube platform first hand and were really impressed. There is huge scope for technology to dramatically improve how governance is delivered in organisations across the globe. The future plans for the Kube platform are really exciting and we look forward to seeing how the technology evolves.
Gabriella Halasz-Clarke, Vice President of Governance and ESG Solutions at Nasdaq said: “We are excited to expand our relationship with Kuberno to empower mutual clients with modern workflow technologies that help them drive governance excellence. Kuberno complements our existing portfolio suite and we look forward to collaborating on innovative products to bring greater efficiency for corporates.”
