TCA advises FundApps on significant growth equity investment from SEP

As the first ever Compliance-as-a-Service (CaaS) business, FundApps has transformed the way investment managers deal with the regulatory burden by combining cloud technology, regulatory expertise, market data and the unique FundApps Community.

Today, FundApps has over 100 clients, ranging from hedge funds, asset managers, and pension funds, to the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds. Collectively, FundApps’ services monitor over US$13 trillion, more than 10% of global assets under management.

TCA, led by Rob McCombie, worked with FundApps over an extended period to help the business raise capital, addressing the complexities and challenges of investment rounds that can otherwise be difficult for founders and teams to deal with alone. It provided full transaction support, deal execution, and advised on both the investment and equity terms.

Andrew Patrick White, founder and CEO of FundApps, said:

“Having bootstrapped our way since 2010, we wanted to find an investor who shared our long-term vision and was a cultural fit. TCA understood this and quickly developed a trusted relationship with the entire team, helping to guide us at every stage of the process.”

Angus Conroy, Director at SEP, added:

“TCA’s deep sector knowledge and direct investment experience was clearly demonstrated during the investment process. They provided management with highly engaged support and adopted a constructive and pragmatic approach with SEP and its advisors.”

SEP's investment will allow the company to continue to drive product innovation and support further expansion of the international client base, as well as providing liquidity for the current shareholders and employees.
