The birth of Newfound Global

‍

Newfound Global was created with a mission to help tech companies scale rapidly and efficiently. The company’s inception was driven by CEO Peter Gillingwater’s vision to support high-potential tech companies in achieving successful international expansion. After years of working with businesses in need of strategic growth support, Peter identified an opportunity to provide comprehensive services that go beyond simple consulting. Newfound’s unique approach is built on a structured framework that combines thorough market research, strategic guidance and powerful commercial connections to make global expansion more accessible and successful. It is dedicated to supporting scaling businesses through services that focus on capital raising, talent acquisition, new market entry and its latest innovation revenue acceleration.

Partnering with Levenue

‍

One of the biggest hurdles for scaling companies is securing the right funding at the right time. Recognising this, Newfound Global recently partnered with Levenue, a leading platform for revenue-based financing across Europe. For Jon and the Newfound team, this partnership aligns perfectly with their mission to support companies in accessing the resources they need to grow.

“We see Levenue as a key player in providing capital flexibility for ambitious companies,” says Jon. “With Levenue as a trusted partner, our clients can secure the funding they need, when they need it, and use it to drive efficient, sustainable growth.”

This collaboration with Levenue is a natural extension of Newfound’s commitment to delivering end-to-end solutions that not only drive growth but also ensure long-term success.
