    Participated · Debt Financing · Aug 2026

    DataVita operates and develops data center campus assets in the UK, including DV1 (operated since 2016) and a smaller DV2 site in Glasgow offering 130 racks across 1,000 sqm. The company acquired DV1 in 2021 with £45m of owner support and was built originally by HFD Group in 2021. It is expanding DV1 and building a new DV3 facility in the North Lanarkshire AI Growth Zone, with all capacity from both buildings contracted to CoreWeave under a 15-year lease. Last year CoreWeave announced deployments of Nvidia GPUs into DataVita data centers, and management states the first facility from the current program is due to complete this year. The company has secured project-level debt financing and a National Wealth Fund-backed guarantee to underwrite the current build-out.

  • Fnality International

    Participated · Series C · Sep 2025

    Fnality International is building a global settlement network that uses distributed ledger technology (DLT) to connect established wholesale markets with emerging institutional tokenized assets. Its flagship offering, the Sterling Fnality Payment System (launched in the U.K. in December 2023), provides 24/7, central-bank-backed cash rails for real-time delivery-versus-payment of tokenized securities, payment-versus-payment foreign-exchange settlement, and on-demand repo transactions. Fnality’s platform leverages ‘earmarking’ to secure settlement while optimizing liquidity management across participants. The company works closely with central banks and major financial market infrastructures to ensure regulatory compliance and interoperability with innovations such as stablecoins and tokenized deposits. Near-term plans include extending the network to additional major currencies and enhancing liquidity tools to support a broader digital-asset ecosystem. By fusing decentralized finance operational efficiencies with traditional finance capital efficiency, Fnality aims to become a foundational pillar of the next-generation financial market infrastructure.
