Kuberno Secures £3.5M Series A From Nasdaq Ventures, Eyes Global Governance Tech Expansion

LONDON, April 12, 2023 — Kuberno, a governance technology platform serving corporate secretaries and legal teams worldwide, has completed a £3.5 million Series A funding round led by Nasdaq Ventures. The capital injection marks a significant milestone for the entity management SaaS provider, which has experienced rapid adoption since its commercial launch in September 2021.

Strategic Partnership Powers Global Growth

Beyond the investment, Nasdaq Ventures’ backing includes a commercial collaboration between Kuberno and Nasdaq Governance Solutions. The partnership encompasses planned product integration into Nasdaq’s governance technology suite, positioning Kuberno’s cloud-native platform alongside market infrastructure solutions designed to support modern corporate compliance operations.

Kuberno’s core offering, Kube, streamlines legal entity governance through automation and remote-enabled workflows. The platform has gained traction among institutional clients, including members of the FTSE 100 index, the Big Four professional services firms in the UK, and multinational corporations across North America, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific markets. Recent product developments include integration with Insidertrack, an insider disclosure management tool utilized by nearly half of FTSE 100 companies.

Governance Excellence as Strategic Priority

The financing underscores growing market demand for sophisticated governance infrastructure. Boards and institutional investors increasingly scrutinize entity management practices, creating operational demands that traditional workflows struggle to address. Kuberno’s technology tackles this by automating administrative processes, generating compliance reports, managing document repositories, and facilitating electronic filings across jurisdictions.

“Nasdaq was our ideal capital partner,” noted Zoe Bucknell, CEO and co-founder of Kuberno. “We share a commitment to advancing governance standards globally. This partnership accelerates our international market entry while maintaining the operational discipline that built our foundation. The combination of Nasdaq’s distribution capabilities and our entity management expertise creates a compelling solution for corporate governance teams navigating increasingly complex regulatory landscapes.”

Gary Offner, Senior Vice President and Head of Nasdaq Ventures, added: “Kuberno addresses a critical workflow gap in governance operations. As corporate secretaries and general counsel offices seek modernization, Kuberno’s platform complements our existing governance solutions to deliver measurable efficiency gains for clients.”
