TSP Ventures were an earlier stage investor in Whitespace and advised the team through the transaction. The investment represents a successful partial exit for TSP as well as the opportunity to remain a part of the exciting journey ahead. Whitespace have achieved amazing things in the London market already and will be able to accelerate their expansion plans by partnering with Sequel Verisk.
Chris Smith, TSP Ventures CEO, said: “Helping the Whitespace team with their strategy and ultimately advising them through the transaction with Sequel Verisk has been an absolute pleasure.

We are thrilled to be shareholders in Whitespace and look forward to sharing in the company’s ongoing success.”
Marcus Broome, Whitespace Chief Platform Officer, said: “TSP Ventures invested in Whitespace a year or so ago and then helped us plot out our strategic direction. They were instrumental in negotiating the deal with Sequel Verisk and provided strong support and advice throughout the whole process. We are pleased that they remain as shareholders in this next exciting stage of our development.”
