2022 was an unparalleled year for global expansion at Liquidity Group and Mars Growth Capital. We added exciting locations in London, Abu Dhabi, and Singapore which expanded our global footprint and allowed us to diversify our portfolio of funding mid-market, late-stage, and unicorn tech companies and even launch our first equity fund. From being the first Israeli company to partner up with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office and form a unique R&D center, to expanding and deploying funds in new markets such as Australia, Saudi Arabia, Ireland, and more it is clear that the $1.6B in over 65 countries represents the most diversified offering from Liquidity Group to date. 

Here are a few samples from the funding highlights in Liquidity Group’s stellar 2022.

APAC

SPEEDOC

Mars Growth Capital, part of the Liquidity Group, provided funding to Speedoc, a Singapore health tech platform revolutionizing at-home hospital care, helping them raise $28 million in pre-Series B funding.

Founded by Sengupta and Aaditya Sharda in 2016, Infra.Market uses technology to provide a procurement experience for players in the construction ecosystem. It focuses on high-volume construction products under its brands and aims to solve issues such as a lack of price transparency, unreliable quality, fragmented vendor base, and inefficient logistics.

Mars Growth deployed $50M of venture debt to Saudi Arabian company Trukker, our first in the region. Trukker, which provides an Uber-like digital network for lorries and pick-up trucks in the Mena region, seeks to enter new markets and improve its products and services before its planned initial public offering.

ETORO

After deploying funding of $50M of growth capital in 2021 to the social trading and multi-asset investment company e-Toro, Liquidity Group continued its support with additional funding to help the company grow its global presence.  eToro is a global community of more than 30 million registered users who share their investment strategies. The platform enables users to easily buy, hold and sell assets, monitor their portfolio in real time, and transact whenever they want.

EUROPE

RAILSR

Railsr, the London startup that rebranded from Railsbank earlier this year, has raised $46 million, a Series C coming in the form of $26 million in equity and $20 million in debt from Mars Capital Growth. CEO and co-founder Nigel Verdon said the debt will be used for the same purposes as the equity but is coming in at a lower cost. “Equity is expensive at the moment,” he said.

Railsr is a platform and financial service that enables banks, businesses, and brands to define the future of consumer and SME finance.

‍CHANNEL SIGHT

ChannelSight, the e-commerce firm located in Ireland and founded by the man who built the first Ryanair website, has secured $7 million in debt financing from Liquidity Group.
