About Quantexa
Quantexa is a London-headquartered software company that sells a decision intelligence platform. It was founded in 2016 by Vishal Marria, who serves as chief executive, and Imam Hoque, a co-founder who is listed as chief product officer. Its customers are mainly in banking, government, insurance and telecoms. The platform takes data held in separate systems and brings it together. It covers data ingestion, entity resolution that links records into accurate real-world entities, graph analytics that expose relationships between those entities, and artificial intelligence tools that support decisions. Typical uses include financial crime detection, risk assessment and customer analysis. Marria has said he wanted to build context around data so that bad actors could be identified more easily. Before founding Quantexa he worked at BAE Systems and at EY, where Pulse 2.0 reports he became its youngest director at 28. The company has raised money in several rounds. A USD 64.7 million Series C was announced in 2020 with backing from HSBC and ABN AMRO. A USD 153 million Series D followed in 2021. A USD 129 million Series E in 2023 valued the company at USD 1.8 billion. In March 2025 Quantexa announced a USD 175 million Series F at a valuation of USD 2.6 billion, led by Teachers' Venture Growth, the venture arm of Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, with existing investors including British Patient Capital participating. Other backers named in coverage include Warburg Pincus, Dawn Capital, BNY, Evolution Equity Partners, AlbionVC and HSBC. Dealroom puts total funding above USD 500 million. The company said it would use the capital for platform innovation, North American expansion and selected acquisitions, and Ara Yeromian of Teachers' Venture Growth was expected to join the board. In February 2023 Quantexa bought Dublin-based Aylien, a natural language processing company, to handle unstructured text data. Terms were not disclosed. It was the company's first acquisition since the Series D. Quantexa lists offices in London, New York, Boston, Toronto, Sydney, Singapore and Brussels. Its job listings describe continued expansion in Europe and the Middle East. In an interview reported by Mergermarket, Hoque said the company was on course for GBP 80 million in annual recurring revenue by the end of 2024.
