About TealBook
Earlier this year, Toronto-based supply chain data service TealBook announced a $50 million round of funding led by Ten Coves Capital, BDC Capital, and Grand Ventures. The company also announced a series of partnerships with software providers such as Workday and RapidRatings. This round was followed by a $73 million investment round in January, which saw the company expand into new sectors in the Fortune 500 space. The company has also recently announced that it has partnered with SAP and is slated to build solutions for the SAP Ariba portfolio.
While the $50 million figure remains under wraps, it’s a good bet the company will use the funds to accelerate its data roadmap. This is good news for supply chain professionals looking to reduce their costs while improving their customer service. Moreover, the company has been recognized as one of the top 50 Procurement Technology companies to watch in the Spend Matters Technology Report.
The company also boasted that it had the highest revenue growth of any of the top 25 e-procurement technology companies in the world.
Series B funding led by Ten Coves Capital
Earlier this year, London-based regtech firm SteelEye raised US$21 million in Series B funding led by Ten Coves Capital. The funds will help the company accelerate its growth in North America and beyond. This fundraising is the largest for a European firm in the industry so far this year.
SteelEye offers a SaaS-based platform that allows financial firms to meet regulations. Its products include data analytics, compliance technology, and trade surveillance. The company’s client list includes Fidelity International, Schroders, and other major financial services firms. The funding round included existing investors as well as new ones.
This new financing round is an indication of growing regulatory pressures on the financial industry. This is driving many firms to switch from legacy systems to cloud-based compliance platforms. SteelEye’s technology helps banks simplify their compliance processes and separate the noise from the data. Its clients also include the world’s biggest financial institutions. Its offices are in New York, Braga, and Bengaluru.
Ten Coves is a fintech-focused growth equity firm that specialises in investments in capital markets, banking, insurance, and payments. It has made 12 investments to date, with one portfolio exit. The funds it raises will support companies that are re-wiring the financial ecosystem. The new fund will be headed by Manu Rana, who was previously with Napier Park.
