Solidatus raises £5M from Salica Investments

London-based
Solidatus, a provider of data lineage solutions, has secured a £5 million loan
from the Growth Debt Fund at Salica Investments to support R&D and drive
growth.

The
global data governance market is projected to approach $20 billion by 2032,
with data lineage becoming an increasingly critical component. Growth is driven
by rising data volume and complexity, tighter regulation, and heightened
requirements for data quality and security.

To
address this challenge, Solidatus provides advanced data lineage solutions for
highly regulated sectors such as financial services, energy, and
pharmaceuticals. The platform enables organisations to map, manage, and trace
data from its origin through transformations to downstream use, creating a
clear, auditable view that supports decision-making, compliance, digital
transformation, and AI initiatives.

AlunBaker, Executive Chairman at Solidatus, said:

Our focus on advancing the
platform’s AI capabilities will further enhance our customers’ ability to
manage complexity, ensure compliance, and unlock the value of trusted data at
scale. Without lineage, even the most advanced models risk instability, and regulatory
cracks will start to show, with major consequences to businesses across all
sectors.

By reducing manual effort
in complex governance tasks and adding natural-language interactions on top of
Solidatus’ lineage intelligence, the platform will simplify how organisations
build data trust, navigate complex models, and meet regulatory requirements.

The new
investment will accelerate AI-enabled features, including automatic lineage
generation with human-in-the-loop verification and inter-system lineage.
