InTick Secures £2 Million Funding to Fuel Expansion of Derivatives Block Trading Platform

Subscribe to our newsletter

InTick, the fintech firm focused on automating listed derivatives block trading, has secured £2 million in a funding round from a diverse range of angel investors. The investment is earmarked to accelerate the development of its technological infrastructure and expand its all-to-all matching platform across more products.

The funding follows a period of significant momentum for the company. As reported by TradingTech Insight last month, InTick’s platform went live in June 2025, timed to support the roll of ICE Gilt and Eurex Fixed Income futures. This latest capital injection serves as a strong validation of the company’s progress since its initial launch in October 2024 and the strategic appointment of key board advisors earlier this year.

InTick’s mission is to reshape a market segment still characterised by manual, complex, and inefficient processes. The platform tackles the lack of electronification by centralising pricing information and aggregating liquidity onto a single, consolidated order book, replacing traditional, high-touch voice-brokered and chat-based negotiations with an automated, all-to-all matching system.

The investment will be used to build on this foundation, fuelling further technological development and continued expansion into all major products within the listed derivatives space.

James Goater, Co-Founder and CEO of InTick, said: “The InTick platform is already transforming the listed derivatives block trading landscape by improving efficiency, price discovery, and trading outcomes for all participants. As we advance our platform and move forward at speed to deliver a truly transformative offering for the industry, this financial backing is a strong validation of our mission to enhance and grow listed derivatives block trading.”

Ben Parker, Co-Founder and COO of InTick, added: “This investment is a powerful endorsement of our approach and a clear signal of the market’s demand for innovation in the listed derivatives block trading space. It will be instrumental in accelerating our growth, enabling us to expand our technological capabilities, strengthen strategic partnerships, and ultimately open up new trading opportunities for the benefit of all market participants.”

The firm’s technology-first approach aims to provide actionable insights and enhanced efficiency by revolutionising how participants interact with block liquidity.

Sarah Timms, Co-Founder and CPTO of InTick, commented: “We are incredibly excited by the powerful impact InTick’s technology is already having on the market, bringing much-needed innovation and automation to listed derivatives block trading. Our platform is designed to revolutionise how participants interact with block liquidity, delivering enhanced efficiency, improved price discovery, and actionable insights for all. This financial backing provides a crucial boost to our ongoing technology development, enabling us to significantly expand and advance our capabilities.”

The company’s approach has already gained external recognition. Earlier this year, InTick was one of only five fintech startups selected for the prestigious Investment Association Engine accelerator programme. The firm notes it has already demonstrated exceptional traction with prominent asset managers, hedge funds, and executing brokers during the recent June futures roll periods.
