HUBX is the premier capital raising and private placement
solution for professionals.
The private capital raising process hasn’t changed in over 30 years.
It is the lifeblood of our economy, yet investors and advisors still use outdated processes to screen and execute private placements.
Taking a deal from origination to close, whilst collaborating with multiple stakeholders, is a complex process. Countless emails, spreadsheets, documents and conversations are required for a single deal. Working manually, using disconnected tools, has significant hidden costs with wide economic implications.
Advisors focus on fewer deals, hire more staff to process manual tasks and lack the time and insights needed to analyse and develop their investor network. Fewer companies get funded, smaller deals neglected and more companies fail. Investors suffer lower returns with poor access to the deals most relevant to them.
Financial firms now realise the need to invest into technology to address these issues.
Private capital markets are entering a new era of efficiency and connectivity.
HUBX transforms the way investment professionals execute private deals.
HUBX is designed by seasoned capital markets professionals and empowers our clients to manage their workflows and relationships with insight, intelligence and control.
HUBX technology powers the London Stock Exchange Group’s ELITE private placement platform connecting high growth companies with LSE’s global institutional investor network.
HUBX has been designed for professional capital raising clients of all sizes. You can start with a single license and add new team members as you grow.

On 25th May 2018 the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation will come into force. This will have a significant impact on businesses handling personal data within the EU or about EU residents. As personal data is key to the financial services industry, and more specifically us, the HUBX team have been working hard to ensure we are compliant and have the highest standards to keep your data safe.
We would like to explain HUBX’s roles and responsibilities regarding data when you become one of our clients as we take the requirements of the GDPR very seriously.
At HUBX, we understand that our clients value privacy and trust above all. We process user data only for the purpose of providing the best match between investors and deals. We also use publicly available databases for client profiling and KYC requirements. We never sell your data.
Any person you upload to HUBX as a Contact or Investor is deemed your data subject, and you are considered the data controller for this personal data.
Correspondingly, HUBX is regarded as the data processor in relation to performing processing activities on your behalf when you use HUBX web and mobile solutions.
The relationship between data controller and data processor must be made in writing, according to Article 28 of the legislation, where electronic form is accepted under subsection 9. We define this relationship in our Privacy Policy which all our clients must agree to when you first access the platform. The policy sets out the data processing practices in relation to personal information and any data which is collected, stored and retained through the use of electronic communications by HUBX. By accepting these terms you are agreeing to the stated data processing contract.
Transferring data outside the EEA is a particular issue highlighted in the GDPR. There are strict requirements around moving data beyond the GDPR’s scope of protection.
The key question is who is responsible for complying with these data transfer requirements? In the case of HUBX engaging with sub-processors from outside the EEA, it becomes our responsibility to ensure the lawful transfer of data to these entities. In response to this requirement, we will keep an ongoing list of sub-processors in our User Terms to ensure complete transparency. Here we explain what data is being processed and the procedure we have put in place to ensure it is adequately protected.
In certain situations, HUBX also has a role as the data controller for the personal data we collect about users who are signed up to our platform directly. This involves complying with 3 key articles:
HUBX is dedicated to upholding our user’s rights under the GDPR.
HUBX has from the start implemented technical and organisational procedures to protect any data we process in line with GDPR, and we are committed to continually working to improve these measures as our products evolve.
As a regulated entity HUBX have implemented the relevant Chinese Walls and ringfences for our client data across all our solutions to ensure compliance. HUBX technology is built to meet with the auditing and mapping requirements of GDPR. In our role as data processor, we maintain limited access to client data with internal procedures and audit trails to guarantee this is the case.
Data ownership is the concept that underpins the GDPR legislation, and the ability to take control of it is crucial. We have built systems to ensure we are available and ready to deal with requests to delete, change or transfer client data. Our Client Coverage team along with our developers and engineers are on hand throughout office hours to help with such requests, and any other matters about your personal data.
Our User Terms and Privacy Policy are the basis for our legal relationship with you once you have registered on the platform either through an advisor or directly.
Accompanying our commitment to ensuring GDPR compliance across our technology and within our organisational systems, we have emphasised the importance of internal training within the company to support these processes. Our onboarding process incorporates sessions on data privacy and security. Additionally, each HUBX team receives ongoing training to support their work involving personal data. Furthermore, all our client facing team are CISI qualified and regulated as approved persons by the FCA.
For HUBX, GDPR is not simply a tick-box exercise. We believe it is a cornerstone by which companies can and must respect individual’s privacy and take full responsibility when handling personal data.
If you have any questions or comments on this topic, feel free to drop us an email at team@hubx.capital and we are on hand to respond to your queries.

London Stock Exchange launches private placement platform (FT, April 2017)
London, UK, 6th April 2017: The Hub Exchange Ltd (HUBX), an innovative Fintech company based in London, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with London Stock Exchange Group’s (LSE) ELITE, its business development and capital raising platform. HUBX has worked with ELITE to refine its bespoke technology solution to power ELITE’s private placement platform, ELITE Club Deal, and to provide the technology infrastructure to support ELITE’s global partners that license ELITE Club Deal. As part of this partnership, HUBX secured a minority investment from ELITE*.
HUBX provides enterprise-grade platforms for leading investment networks. The strategic partnership enables HUBX to bring best practice with cutting edge technology to the private market, providing companies access to institutional capital. Each white label platform is completely private and can be deployed out of the box, or customised to client workflows. A key differentiator HUBX offers its clients is the connectivity and syndication opportunities to other leading investment networks. HUBX will also be an agent on the ELITE Club Deal platform providing investors, including HNWI and specialised funds, access to ELITE opportunities.
In November 2016, HUBX joined 12 other fast growing companies in the sixth cohort of LSE’s ELITE programme. The programme helps high growth organisations build a strong network of partners and advisers to support them in accessing suitable growth financing, be that through ELITE Club Deal, venture capital, private or public equity.
Axel Coustere and Stephen Ong, co-founders of HUBX, said: “We are extremely excited about our partnership with LSE’s ELITE and the opportunity to be the key technology partner for ELITE Club Deal’s global initiative. The partnership sets the standard for private market capital raising and provides the backbone for private investment networks to connect into. As each exchange crowns the end of the journey for private companies, our mission is to connect investment networks, currently operating in silos, from the early stage through to late stage, through our technology, globally.”
Luca Peyrano, CEO, ELITE, said: “ELITE and HUBX share a global vision of transforming the global capital raising environment. HUBX will allow ELITE Club Deal to power its platform with the best in class technology, supporting ELITE companies in efficiently connecting with growth capital, whilst giving investors the opportunity to have a stake in some of Europe’s most ambitious private businesses.”
* Launched by London Stock Exchange Group in April 2012, ELITE is a full-service programme designed to help the most ambitious companies prepare and structure for the next stage of growth through access to long term financing opportunities. It is a unique cross border programme based on an exclusive training and tutorship model, supported by access to the business and financial community. Today, more than 700 companies, advisors and investors make up the growing international ELITE community. Close to 500 ELITE companies in 25 countries from more than 30 sectors generate €40 billion in combined revenues and account for over 175,000 jobs across Europe and beyond.
ELITE Club Deal, the private placement platform for ELITE companies and professional investors, is the natural next step in the evolution of ELITE’s suite of services. ELITE Club Deal helps to bridge a funding gap and streamline the capital raising process for companies, bringing together investors, corporate advisers and growing companies in a secure and efficient environment.
