Data and analytics company pioneering contextual decision intelligence

Data and analytics company pioneering contextual decision intelligence

AlbionVC led the first round in 2017 alongside HSBC, one year after the company was founded. At the time we were highly impressed with Vishal Marria’s vision and market insights into the opportunity of unifying siloed data across the enterprise. Fast forward to today, the company has achieved a Centaur status surpassing $100m ARR. In early 2025, the company announced a $175m Series F and a $2.6bn valuation. We are delighted to continue supporting the company all the way along its funding journey.

David Grimm, Partner AlbionVC on what the US £150bn investment means for UK startups

The i Paper

 I think they really do believe in and buy into long term relationships. It allows you to go on a journey.  As much as the team, the tech and the management team are a big part of what’s allowed us to be successful, there is absolutely no doubt that I would put Ed [Lascelles, Partner AlbionVC] alongside those as being equally important to us.

Tony Pepper, CEO and co-founder Egress 
(Acquired 2024 by KnowBe4)

Thanks for your continued support and trust. AlbionVC and Ed Lascelles have been on our journey pretty much from the beginning and it’s been a privilege working with them. Looking forward to the next steps of this amazing journey.

Vishal Marria, CEO and co-founder Quantexa 
(Series F Unicorn)

From our very first discussion, it became clear that partnering with AlbionVC is about more than just the bottom line—it’s founded on a shared strategic vision and a long-term commitment to cultivating a resilient, growth-oriented culture. This collaborative spirit continues to drive us today as we shape the future of crypto.


Simone Maini, CEO Elliptic 
(Series C)

I remember coming to speak to you [David Grimm, Partner, AlbionVC] for a cup of coffee at Albion’s office. I still had a million and one different ideas, and I wasn’t sure exactly what direction I was going in. You knew what it was like to be an early-stage company and that really helped. And then the depth of expertise that you clearly showed, as well as getting initial capital early to get off the ground, was absolutely essential.

Raza Habib, CEO and co-founder Humanloop
(Seed, YC alumni)

We are very blessed to have such great investors behind us. AlbionVC sets the standard in supporting founders building market defining businesses.
