Nimbus Capital Invest £50 Million in UK-Based Commodities Marketplace BLK

In a significant move for the digital commodities trading sector, BLK, a UK-based online platform revolutionizing the commodities and raw materials trading market, has secured a £50 million equity round from Nimbus Capital.

Nimbus Capital, a Panama-based investment group operating globally, with a focus on emerging companies and industries with strong growth potential, has recognised the immense potential of BLK's platform and its ability to capture a significant share of the commodities market.

Robert Baker, the Managing Partner at Nimbus Capital, has a history of investing in and partnering with high-growth companies that innovate in digital and Web3 ecosystems. He leads a team of experienced managers with a track record of over 50 transactions across 30+ countries.

BLK's horizontal commodity marketplace model and direct physical fulfilment arm address a multi-trillion dollar market opportunity ripe for disruption. The investment significantly boosts BLK's growth plans and paves the way for a potential Initial Public Offering (IPO) in 2025.

Lalu John, BLK's Chief Executive, stated that the investment validates their vision and strengthens their position for rapid scaling and a successful public listing. BLK's management team has a proven track record of success and is committed to delivering exceptional value to its shareholders.

The investment will be strategically deployed to accelerate BLK's growth trajectory. BLK is experiencing a strong growth, with over $6 billion of stock for sale on the marketplace and a revenue growth of 101% YoY.

BLK's digital platform connects buyers and sellers of various raw materials, eliminating intermediaries. This peer-to-peer approach allows businesses to buy directly from producers, eliminating multiple layers of middle-men to reduce procurement costs and enhance profit margins for both suppliers and buyers.

In addition to strategic investments, BLK plans to further develop its platform, integrating AI and blockchain to secure transactions and commodities' chain of custody, enhancing user experience and security. The company also intends to exploit the current low in the maritime market to acquire vessels at low cost, supporting increased shipping demand and improving profitability.

Gabriele Dadò, BLK's founder, commented that the digitalization of the raw material and upstream supply chain presents an unparalleled opportunity for BLK. As the world's largest dedicated commodity and raw materials marketplace, BLK is poised to become a global leader in the digitalization of commodity trading.

With this investment, BLK aims to scale its operations globally, capturing a larger share of the international commodities market and expanding shipping operations to support increased trading volume on blkcommodities.com. The investment from Nimbus Capital marks a significant step forward in BLK's journey towards becoming a global leader in digital commodities trading.

Nimbus Capital's backing is provided by In On Capital, a boutique wealth management firm with USD $1.2 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM). This partnership underscores the confidence in BLK's business model and its potential to disrupt the traditional commodities trading market.
