Vestd, a UK sharetech platform focused on equity inclusion for private companies, has secured a growth investment from Foresight Group in its first-ever institutional funding round.
The investment will fund development of Vestd's infrastructure as a licensed PISCES operator under the Financial Conduct Authority's new private company share-trading regime.
Additional capital will be directed toward scaling operations in India, expanding enterprise product capabilities, and executing a strategic AI programme.
Vestd has been profitable for several years and last raised funds from friends and associates in summer 2021, making this its first institutional backing.
CEO Ifty Nasir stated the company sought investment to accelerate initiatives such as PISCES, the India opportunity, and its enterprise product roadmap more quickly.
Vestd launched Vestd India last year following a partnership with Trica Equity and reports positive early momentum in that market.
Foresight senior investment manager Salim Chantler described Vestd as operating in an attractive, underpenetrated market with a differentiated product embedded in customer workflows.
