UK Startups and Innovation: Risk Ledger raises £24m, no state money
View full timeline →

Background

Procurement and security teams use Risk Ledger's software to vet suppliers before contracts are signed, mapping third-party and supply-chain exposure for large buyers; the London firm competes in a crowded UK compliance-technology market that keeps growing.

Axiom Equity led a £24m Series B for the company on 15 July 2026, with Mercia Ventures also taking part; notably, no sovereign fund or state-backed vehicle appeared anywhere on the resulting cap table.

That all-private structure sets Risk Ledger apart from several peers in UK risk technology, where public money is often used to de-risk early funding rounds; here, venture capital alone carried the deal.
