9fin, an AI-driven platform designed for global debt markets, has successfully raised $170 million in Series C funding, achieving a valuation of $1.3 billion. Founded by former J.P. Morgan banker Steven Hunter and Deutsche Bank engineer Hussam EL-Sheikh, the company has now secured over $250 million in total funding since its inception.
The funding round was led by HarbourVest, with notable participation from Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) and existing investors such as Redalpine, Highland Europe, Spark Capital, and Seedcamp. The fresh capital will primarily fuel the development of 9fin’s AI capabilities, enhance its proprietary dataset, and support further expansion into the U.S. market. Interestingly, CPP Investments was already a client of the platform prior to its investment.
9fin streamlines access to information traditionally scattered across data rooms, emails, and PDFs, leveraging this data to power its next-generation AI technology. This innovation allows credit professionals to efficiently identify, analyze, and act upon opportunities—all from a single platform. Currently, 9fin serves over 300 banks, asset managers, law firms, and advisory firms, assisting them in deal sourcing, risk analysis, and global debt market surveillance. The company has reported multiple consecutive years of 100% Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) growth, with particularly significant expansion within the U.S.
According to Michael Guiness, Principal at HarbourVest Partners, “Debt markets are undergoing a profound transformation, driven by AI innovations that are reshaping how financial professionals operate. 9fin has developed a compelling platform that combines proprietary data with AI-enhanced workflows, making it an exemplary candidate for next-generation market leaders. We are eager to support their global scaling efforts.”
Steven Hunter, CEO and co-founder of 9fin, emphasized the transformative potential of AI in the credit markets, stating that it must be backed by proprietary data and seamlessly integrated into professional workflows. “What we’ve developed at 9fin is designed with this vision in mind. Our rapid scaling across various asset classes and regions enables us to offer clients unparalleled access to a breadth of data within an AI-centric platform. With this new capital, we are poised to accelerate our journey towards becoming the essential resource for credit professionals,” he added.
