The funding will accelerate the development of 9fin‘s AI capabilities, expand its proprietary dataset, and support continued growth in the United States. The company has now raised more than $250 million to date.
At $145 trillion, debt capital markets are the largest asset class in the world, yet the technology supporting them still lags decades behind. As loan, bond, and private credit markets converge, getting better information faster is more important than ever. AI can help — but only when trained on reliable data, much of which remains trapped in data rooms, emails, and PDFs.
9fin centralizes this information and uses it to fuel next-generation AI technology, enabling credit professionals to identify, analyze, and act on opportunities within a single platform. These tools help clients win mandates, stay ahead of competitors, and save hours of manual research.
More than 300 leading banks, asset managers, law firms, and advisory firms rely on 9fin as their core platform for sourcing deals, analyzing risk, and monitoring global debt markets. Notably, CPP Investments was already a 9fin client before joining this round as an investor — a testament to the platform’s value.
"Debt markets are undergoing a profound transformation as AI reshapes how financial professionals work. 9fin has built a powerful platform combining proprietary data with AI-driven workflows - exactly what we're looking for in next generation market leaders. We're excited to support the company as it scales globally."
9fin is the AI-native platform for global debt markets. Founded by former J.P. Morgan banker Steven Hunter and Deutsche Bank engineer Hussam EL-Sheikh, the company combines data, analytics, and AI-powered workflows in a single platform, helping clients work smarter and faster to outperform their peers.
"AI will redefine the credit markets, but only if it's powered by proprietary data and embedded into how professionals actually work. That's exactly what we've built at 9fin. We've scaled our product rapidly across geographies and asset classes to provide clients with unmatched breadth and depth of data in an AI-native platform. Our ultimate goal is to be the only platform credit professionals ever need. This capital gets us there even faster."
It is 9fin’s second bigger investment in 2 years, as they raised €47.5 million in Series B at the end of 2024. The company has experienced rapid growth since its Series A+ in 2022, reporting a 400% increase in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and significant US expansion. 9fin has also grown to 240 employees and doubled its tech team, in response to its growing product development.
“We backed 9fin at Series A because we saw a founding team with the rare combination of deep domain expertise and genuine technological ambition. Seeing them reach unicorn status is a powerful demonstration that IVC can identify and support world-class companies from the very earliest stages. We have reinvested at every round with growing conviction, and we look forward to what comes next.”
The company has delivered multiple consecutive years of 100% ARR growth, industry-leading retention, and even faster expansion in the United States.
