Capitolis is an Israeli fintech startup and a unicorn, helping to create safer and more vibrant capital markets. The firm raised another $20 million in investment including $5 million each from new investors Morgan Stanley and UBS.
Capitolis joined the coveted unicorn club in March 2022 with a $1.6 billion valuation after a $110 million Series D round of investment co-led by top fintech investors Canapi Ventures, 9Yards Capital, and SVB Capital. A unicorn is a startup valued at $1 billion or more.
The transaction and its proceeds will be utilized to propel Capitolis’ expansion across its Capital Marketplace and Portfolio Optimization divisions. Leveraging a team of experienced financial and technology experts, and pioneering industry solutions, Capitolis has established itself as a strategic partner within the financial industry. Its distinctive approach of collaborating closely with clients to identify and address core optimization challenges positions it as a true differentiator.
