Othrfund, a new platform enabling better access to capital for businesses, has officially launched in the UK.
The business financing start-up platform, created by a team with backgrounds as both entrepreneurs and lenders, aims to connect businesses seeking financing with a network of lenders.
The Othrfund platform aims to reduce the time and complexity of securing funding, eliminating the hassle of multiple applications.
Co-founders Benedetta Schiavi, Cyril Schuster and Louis Williams launched Othrfund to improve the experience for both sides of the equation.
They said: “Our vision is to create a single, seamless gateway between digital businesses and the right lenders.
“We simplify the process by collecting and passing on qualified data, saving lenders time and boosting approval rates – while giving borrowers access to the full spectrum of capital, from the well-known to the hard-to-find.”
Othrfund supports a wide range of businesses, including: recurring revenue companies, such as SaaS and subscription-based models, e-commerce and direct-to-consumer brands looking to fund growth or operations, and digital-first businesses seeking flexible capital.
Alongside its digital platform, Othrfund is organising a series of in-person workshops in London, Edinburgh, Paris and Milan, as well as other major European tech hubs, starting in July 2025.
These sessions will give founders the opportunity to connect their data, explore finance options and receive guidance on securing funding.
The founders added: “Our goal is to support digital businesses with the fastest and most tailored financing experience. To deliver on this, we work with the best qualified investors and lenders, ensuring each business gets access to the right capital at the right moment.
“Through our approach, we help companies secure the funding they need, on the most effective terms.”
