New York, NY, Paris, France (22nd March 2022) – Saphyre, Inc., a leading FinTech company that leverages patented AI technology to structure all pre-trade data while eliminating post-trade inefficiencies, is pleased to announce the successful completion of its Series A round of $18.7 million, led by HCAP Partners, with J.P. Morgan and BNP Paribas participating in the round. Terms of the investment were not disclosed.
Saphyre’s AI-powered platform enables direct collaboration between multiple financial parties related to the same client.

The company secured clients comprising thousands of accounts with over $3 trillion in assets under management.
The Series A funding will be used to accelerate Saphyre’s product development initiatives in both its pre- and post-trade offerings, as well as to support its ongoing expansion of interoperability initiatives with a number of other fintech/vendor solutions in the industry.
Gabino Roche, Saphyre’s CEO and Founder, stated, “It’s an honor to be strategically supported by HCAP, J.P. Morgan and BNP Paribas. Today’s announcement is a testament to years of hard work and the development of a best-in-class suite of products.
