Moment today announces that it has raised $36 million in Series B funding led by Index Ventures, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Venrock, Neo, and Contrary Capital.

The round brings Moment's total funding to $56 million and will be used to accelerate growth, advance partnerships with leading financial institutions, invest in research and development, and continue expanding its team in New York City. Bloomberg covered the announcement here.

"Demand for fixed-income has exploded, and leading financial institutions are capitalizing on this unique opportunity to seize market share” said Dylan Parker, CEO and co‑founder of Moment. “These firms are partnering with Moment to co-create the future of fixed income - empowering their fixed income teams with a differentiated platform to win new business, unlock eight-figure revenue channels, and genuinely 10x their productivity.”

The $150 Trillion Fixed Income Market Is at an Inflection Point

The funding comes amid a period of rapid transformation for the fixed income market:

  • Electronic trading has skyrocketed, with corporate bond electronic volumes growing 10x over the last decade
  • Rising rates - from near zero to roughly 5% - have sparked a surge in demand
  • AI advances are enabling workflow automation that was once thought impossible

Partnering with Leading Financial Institutions

Moment recently announced strategic partnerships with LPL Financial, the largest independent broker-dealer in the U.S. with over $2T in assets under management.

“Moment’s platform is helping us reimagine what’s possible in fixed income,” said Mike Haire, Senior Vice President of Fixed Income at LPL. “In my 25+ years of experience leading large fixed income teams, Moment is the innovative solution we’ve been waiting for and the only player in the market offering a single, unified fixed income platform for wealth management firms. Their technology enables our team to be 10x more efficient with their time while delivering enhanced execution for our advisors.”

Moment is also partnering with Sanctuary Wealth, a leading hybrid RIA and broker-dealer with over $50B in assets under management.

“Moment’s fixed-income technology is so revolutionary that our senior leadership team has started weaving it into recruiting pitches with significant advisor teams.” said Josh Freeman, Head of Capital Markets at Sanctuary. “It demonstrates Sanctuary’s commitment to delivering best-in-class technology that supports our advisors’ businesses.”

“Moment is tackling the world’s largest financial market with exceptional speed and rigor,” said Jan Hammer, Partner at Index Ventures, who was a board member at Robinhood and Adyen and will join Moment as a new board member. “Their unique blend of deep fixed‑income expertise and world‑class engineering is why the most selective financial institutions are choosing them as a strategic partner.”

Wishing everyone a very happy and prosperous 2026!

When we started Atomic Capital, we wanted to build an institution that goes beyond capital. We saw a white space where spray-and-pray investment strategy was not able to deliver results and help founders build companies. We believe capital alone cannot build businesses and a lot of other things have to go right. We built a structured playbook to help founders make irreversible design choices right.

‍

When we started with SEBI approval in March 2024 we had envisioned â‚č250 crore + â‚č100 crore green-shoe for Fund 1. We did our first close in August 2024 with approximately â‚č150 crore commitments but thanks to overwhelming response of our investors we decided to close our fund in August 2025 with ~â‚č425 crore. It's been a privilege to partner with investors across institutions, HNIs, and family offices. Since then we have backed 6 companies, deployed â‚č100 crore and put together a stellar team.

‍

It's an opportune time to reflect and share what lies ahead in 2026.

  1. Partnering with new founders: we see a massive opportunity to build India for next decade and there are plenty of white spaces (jewellery, food, D2C enabling etc.). We plan to back 4-5 new companies this year, a natural constraint given our operating VC playbook.
  2. Accelerating our existing portcos: we started Atomic Capital with a vision to make every company successful and so far initial signs are very promising. All our portfolio companies are progressing better than industry leading results. And the ecosystem we have built continues to strengthen day by day.
  3. Double down our operating VC playbook: based on extremely encouraging early response, we feel extremely confident of deploying our operating VC playbook across portfolio companies. For example, we are happy to look at value unlock through org building etc.
  4. Investor engagement: one area we plan to do better is our ability to engage with our investor base, we look forward to engaging our investors more and seek their inputs for building Atomic Capital.
  5. Partner with the overall ecosystem: as we scale Atomic Capital, we look forward to partnering with other stakeholders and members of the ecosystem. For example, family offices, marketing agencies, recruiters.
  6. Future proof of our playbook: as we are cognizant of changes brought in by new technologies such as AI and digitisation, we look forward to embrace them more in our value creation framework.
  7. Invest into Atomic Capital team: we would like to scale up collectively both in terms of quality and quantity.

We feel extremely excited about 2026 prospects. As we look back on our journey from SEBI approval to closing a larger-than-planned fund and backing promising companies, we’re grateful for the trust placed in us and eager to deepen our partnerships, strengthen our playbook, and embrace new opportunities ahead.
