Kuberno, a pioneer in legal entity management software, has announced the successful closure of a £9.5 million Series A funding round. This new capital injection was co-led by prominent investors Barclays and Nasdaq Ventures. The financing is set to drive Kuberno’s ambitious global expansion, enhance its AI-integrated platform, and solidify its foothold in the U.S. market.

Kuberno’s Accelerated Growth and U.S. Expansion

Since securing initial funding from Nasdaq Ventures in March 2023, Kuberno has seen explosive growth, with annual revenue tripling and headcount quadrupling to support the company’s expansion goals. In early 2024, Kuberno launched its U.S. subsidiary, gaining traction with major publicly listed American companies with multi-billion-dollar valuations.

This latest round of funding further supports Kuberno’s sustainable growth, enabling the company to scale its services and meet the growing demand for legal entity management solutions across multiple sectors.

Strategic Partnerships

Kuberno’s growth has been underpinned by a strategic collaboration with Series A investors. Following Nasdaq’s initial investment, Kuberno entered into a global referral partnership with Nasdaq to integrate Kuberno’s capabilities into Nasdaq’s suite of governance solutions. This integration is aimed at offering seamless support to mutual clients and enhancing corporate governance on a global scale.

Barclays, a recent investor and early adopter of Kuberno’s platform, has already started using Kuberno’s software to streamline its legal entity management processes. The partnership with Barclays, both as a customer and an investor, underscores the value Kuberno’s technology brings to large financial institutions.

AI-Enhanced Governance: Taking Legal Entity Management to the Next Level

With this funding, Kuberno plans to enhance its product with AI-driven features designed to convert complex entity data into actionable insights for teams across governance, tax, finance, and legal sectors. The integration of AI is intended to reduce the time spent on administrative tasks, freeing up professionals to focus on high-value work.

Kuberno’s core product, the **Kube** platform, is designed to be a central hub of trusted entity data for global organisations. With intelligent workflows and automation, Kube enables collaboration across departments and regions, ensuring streamlined governance and compliance processes. Additionally, Kuberno’s **Kanvas** tool offers interactive data visualisation, allowing users to explore entity relationships through dynamic, easy-to-understand charts.

Leadership Insights

Zoe Bucknell, CEO and Co-Founder of Kuberno, expressed excitement over the new funding, emphasising how it will accelerate the platform’s evolution. “We have invested heavily in data architecture and leveraged our governance expertise to build data structures that ensure the utmost integrity around entity data. This funding round empowers us to supercharge the Kube platform to help enterprises manage, analyse, and visualise entity data, transforming day-to-day operational efficiency,” said Bucknell. “We’re thrilled to partner with Barclays and Nasdaq Ventures as we continue to innovate and grow.”

Ryan Hayward, Head of Strategic Investments for Europe and Asia at Barclays, commended Kuberno’s transformative potential. “We’ve witnessed the power of the Kube platform firsthand. There is huge scope for technology to improve governance in organisations worldwide. We look forward to seeing Kuberno’s continued growth and the evolution of the Kube platform.”

Nasdaq’s Gabriella Halasz-Clarke, Vice President of Governance and ESG Solutions, echoed this sentiment, noting, “Expanding our relationship with Kuberno allows us to empower mutual clients with advanced workflow solutions that drive governance excellence. Kuberno is a strong complement to our portfolio, and we’re excited to collaborate on products that will enhance efficiency for corporates.”
