PANTA

Investor: Fuel Ventures, Innovate UK

London-based fintech PANTA has secured £3 million in Seed funding to transform the financial index creation landscape. The round consists of £1.5 million in equity committed by early-stage venture fund Fuel Ventures and a £1.5 million Innovation Loan from Innovate UK. Summary of transaction details: Value: £3 million (£1.5m Equity / £1.5m Innovation Loan) Sector: Fintech / SaaS / Financial Infrastructure Advisor: Not disclosed Key Entities: Target: PANTA; Lead Investor: Fuel Ventures; Debt Provider: Innovate UK; Key Founders: Tobias Sproehnle (CEO), Mark Pralle Location: London, UK Note: Founded by industry veterans from Markit, Thomson Reuters, and Morningstar, PANTA addresses a critical inefficiency in the financial sector: despite underpinning over $120 trillion in global assets under management, much of the index industry still relies on manual workflows and spreadsheets. PANTA replaces these legacy operations with a modern, end-to-end cloud SaaS system that automates index design, calculation, rebalancing, and compliance workflows. Already onboarding its first live clients, the startup will use this capital to grow its engineering team, accelerate product development, and scale commercial operations ahead of a planned Series A in early 2027.
