Cedar-IBSi Capital is the region’s leading early-stage FinTech venture capital fund, primarily focused on B2B FinTech and Financial Services-Infrastructure companies. The $20-25mn fund has achieved a First Close and has completed initial investments in Cogniquest and WonderLend Hubs, both disruptive advanced solutions that address large market opportunities in BFSI and beyond.

The fund is built on the legacy Cedar Consulting (www.cedar-consulting.com) and IBS Intelligence (www.ibsintelligence.com) platform, which comprises over 60 years of research and consulting experience for Banks and Technology players globally. The fund’s Managing Partner, Sahil Anand, in his prior role, co-created the region’s only FinTech Lab, which has demonstrated a strong track-record of accelerating 55+ B2B FinTechs across the region (www.cedaribsifintechlab.com).

Not many know FinTech the way we do, especially when it comes to Banking infrastructure and B2B. Cedar-IBSi Capital will leverage the combined brainpower and experience of two global 30+ year-old Financial Services/FinTech research and consulting sister companies, to back founders that will fuel disruption in the coming decades.
