Tillit secures £3.6 million Seed investment led by Patrick Edwardson

Investment platform Tillit raises £3.6m in seed funding to revolutionise how people invest

27 January 2022

Investment platform Tillit has closed a £3.6m seed funding round, led by industry veteran, Patrick Edwardson. Techstart Ventures, Nicholas Kirrage and Richard McGrail also followed on in this funding round. The round closed in December 2021. Pending FCA approval, Patrick Edwardson will be joining Tillit’s Board later this spring.     

Felicia Hjertman, Founder and CEO, Tillit;

We’re incredibly excited to embark on the next phase of Tillit’s journey to revolutionise how people invest. We’re thrilled to close our seed funding round with the backing of Patrick and our other investors – it’s a strong sign of conviction and potential from the people who have watched us most closely over the last 12 months. This funding will enable us to continue to develop the platform and ultimately to empower more people to invest with confidence, conviction and ease. 

With a wave of new private investors having joined the markets since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the retail investment market is expanding rapidly. At the same time, recent stock market volatility has highlighted the difficulties of navigating what to invest in, and when. Tillit’s curated investment platform of 95 funds, investment trusts and ETFs will play a key role in empowering investors to make investment decisions with confidence, conviction and ease. 

Having opened to the public in November 2021, Tillit plans to expand the platform offering to enable transfers and pensions in 2022. This marks a key milestone for the company determined to revolutionise how private individuals invest their long-term savings.

Patrick Edwardson, Managing Director, Atheian Limited;

I’m delighted to back Felicia and Paul and their mission to revolutionise how people invest. Their vision, deep industry experience and drive to transform the retail investment market and build a platform that empowers people to make better investment decisions is incredible. 

The team has made fantastic progress in the last year and the platform has gone from strength to strength. I’m excited to be joining the Board and continue to support them on this mission. It’s a great time to get involved.

Mark Hogarth, Partner, Techstart Ventures;

Techstart Ventures is delighted to continue backing Felicia, Paul and the amazing team at Tillit. They’ve made incredible progress over the last year and have huge plans for 2022 and beyond. 

Your capital is at risk if you invest. The value of investments can go up and down, so you could get back less than you put in. Tax treatment depends on an individual’s circumstances and may be subject to change.
