European FinTech bunch has raised $35m (拢26m) to accelerate its growth plans.
The FinTech was founded in 2021 and is based in Berlin, but employs 20 people at its second-largest office in London.
The round was led by Portage, with participation from Illuminate Financial, significant follow-on investment from existing investors Motive Partners, Cherry Ventures and Fintech Collective, as well as additional angel investors.
bunch grew its ARR by 300 per cent in 2025 and achieved 156 per cent net revenue retention.
Data platform used by Walmart, L’Or茅al and NASCAR raises 拢5m
The latest round brings the total amount raised by the startup to more than $58m and will be used to accelerate commercial growth across Europe.
The investment comes as private markets enter a new phase of growth and operational pressure.
Assets Under Management (AUM) are forecast to reach $32tn by 2030, but the systems supporting them have not kept pace.
bunch has a growing base of private markets firms including FINVIA Family Office, Passion Capital, Hummingbird VC, Merantix, Tiny Supercomputer and Antler.
The company was co-founded by Levent Altunel and Enrico Ohnem眉ller and now supports more than 150 fund managers and over 12,000 LPs across major European jurisdictions.
By combining AI-native infrastructure and deep domain expertise, bunch provides a single source of truth that replaces outdated, fragmented processes.
CEO Enrico Ohnem眉ller said: 鈥淧rivate markets are entering a new phase of growth, but the operating infrastructure behind them has not kept pace. GPs cannot scale on spreadsheet-era infrastructure.
鈥淲e built bunch to give fund managers one platform across the fund lifecycle, designed for the complexity of operating across multiple European jurisdictions.
鈥淲hile private markets will remain a people-driven, service-intensive industry, the right combination of specialist expertise, software and AI-native systems make fund operations more efficient, consistent and scalable.
鈥淭his funding allows us to deepen that model and continue modernising private markets infrastructure.鈥�
bunch will deploy the new funding across commercial expansion, product and technology development, and organisational scale.
Helene Falchier, partner at Portage, said: 鈥淧ortage invests in financial infrastructure that becomes structurally necessary as markets grow. bunch has built exactly that.
鈥淓urope’s regulatory environment is uniquely demanding; that headwind only intensifies as private markets scale. Enrico and Levent didn’t build around this complexity, they built from within it. That combination of regulatory depth and service understanding is what makes bunch structurally defensible, and hard to replicate from the outside.鈥�
