Dublin-based FinTech startup Teybridge Capital Europe has announced plans to invest €5.2 million (£4.5 million) in the UK market over the next three years.
This announcement was part of the second UK-Ireland summit held in Cork this week, aimed at boosting economic ties between both countries.
As part of its investment in the UK market, Teybridge Capital Europe will create up to 30 new jobs in its London office over the next three years. Additionally, Teybridge has committed to deploying €694.9 million (£600 million) during the same period to support British small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in boosting their growth, export capability, and resilience.
Speaking at the UK-Ireland summit in Cork, Dylan Martin, CEO of Teybridge Capital Europe, said, “This investment announcement reflects Teybridge Capital Europe’s long-term strategy to deepen our presence in the UK market and aligns with the British Government’s focus on fostering high-quality inward investment and strengthening economic ties between Ireland and the United Kingdom.
“The UK is our fastest-growing market, and it has expanded its book by 150% in the past year alone. Teybridge Capital Europe is committed to continuing this progress and provide financing solutions for these exciting and burgeoning SMEs.”
Founded in 2022 by Dylan Martin and Colm Devine, Teybridge Capital Europe delivers working capital and trade finance solutions to SMEs and corporates through its proprietary platform, BRIDGE.
According to the startup, BRIDGE provides a digital solution to well-established structured trade finance models that benefit all stakeholders involved in trade finance transactions. It states that the BRIDGE platform connects businesses with a wide range of Trade Finance solutions, unlocking working capital to support business growth.
Teybridge Capital Europe’s fastest-growing market is the UK, where it increased its book by 150% in just the past year. The company intends to broaden its reach in 2026 by entering more industries through its broker and introducer networks. As part of its UK expansion plan, Teybridge Capital Europe recently opened a new office in London’s financial district and appointed several senior executives to its UK management team.
The company reports that the UK market now makes up over 60% of its client base, with the group offering working capital facilities to UK SMEs and corporate clients in the food & beverage, technology, and manufacturing industries.
“As one of 15 Irish companies announcing €1.08 billion (£937 million) in new investment and 850 jobs across the UK, Teybridge Capital Europe is helping to drive growth in financial services and SME innovation. This investment will make a real difference to communities and forms an important part of the wider wave of Irish commitments being celebrated today. I look forward to seeing the impact of this investment in the months and years ahead,” said Kara Owen, British Ambassador to Ireland.
Last year, in October, Teybridge Capital Europe raised an initial funding line of approximately €50 million from the Madrid-based family office Baghdadi Capital, with plans to gradually increase this to around €500 million as the business grows.
