The initial stage of Series B fundraising of $31 million was announced by the company in December 2021, a total invested entirely by existing members of the original consortium. The series was extended to BNP Paribas Securities Services, and this investment is aligned with the purpose and ambitions of the Proxymity team to accelerate market adoption and unlock the benefits of digital investor communications for the whole industry ecosystem.

Since its launch in April 2020, Proxymity has delivered significant growth providing digital access to over 12,000 meetings in over 25 markets worldwide. As announced previously, the company will use the new funds to expand further their product and market footprint, drawing on the platform’s capabilities in delivering digital global investor communications.
