London, 25th February 2025 – Shop Circle, a leading provider of AI-powered B2B software solutions, today announced the successful closure of its Series B funding round, securing $60 million in new capital.
The round was led by Nextalia Ventures, an investment fund managed by the investment platform of Nextalia SGR S.p.A., with over $1.6 billion in assets under management.

The declining cost of computing and the advancement of open-source models are transforming the industry, enabling us to innovate faster and deliver even greater value to our customers. This funding empowers us to accelerate our growth trajectory, with the goal of doubling revenues again over the next 12 months and reinforcing our position as a leader in the B2B software space."
