InTick Raises £2 Million to Modernize Derivatives Block Trading

London-based fintech startup InTick has secured £2 million in fresh capital from a group of unnamed angel investors, marking a new milestone in its mission to revamp the way listed derivatives block trades are conducted.

Founded in 2023 and launched quietly in October 2024, InTick is focused on bringing transparency and automation to a trading segment often considered behind the curve. Its software targets longstanding inefficiencies in block trading - such as manual pricing, fragmented liquidity, and opaque execution - through a centralized electronic order book that automates key processes.

"The platform is already transforming the block trading landscape," said James Goater, co-founder and CEO of InTick. "This round is a strong vote of confidence in our ability to bring much-needed transparency and efficiency to listed derivatives."

While the funding amount is relatively modest by industry standards, it signals growing investor interest in infrastructure-level fintechs that operate outside mainstream verticals like payments and digital banking. The funds will be used to expand InTick's platform capabilities and support its rollout across broader markets.

InTick's progress reflects a broader appetite among institutional investors for more efficient derivatives execution, particularly in areas like Gilt and Eurex roll contracts. The company is expected to seek a larger Series A round within the next 12 to 18 months as it aims to build market share.
