April was a milestone month for Astragar.  We took the stage at Innovate Finance’s Pitch360 London event, the flagship pitching competition spotlighting the UK’s most exciting FinTech talent and emerging technologies. Hosted at Level39 during UK FinTech Week, Pitch360 brought together founders, investors, and industry leaders to celebrate innovation and the future of financial services.

We are thrilled to share that Astragar was awarded second place in a highly competitive field, earning an honourable mention from the judges. Congratulations to Sprout Financial, creators of a smarter mortgage payment platform, for taking the top spot and to all the inspiring founders who pitched alongside us.

A Stage for FinTech Innovation

Pitch360 is more than a competition — it’s a showcase of how FinTech innovation is transforming the financial services landscape. The event featured six regional pitch events across the UK, with the London edition drawing some of the boldest ideas in the sector.

For Astragar, it was an invaluable opportunity to present our vision for redefining cyber risk quantification. Our AI-driven platform bridges the gap between technical cyber threats and the real-world business impact that boards and insurers care about — translating vulnerabilities into clear financial and reputational risk.

Recognition from Industry Leaders

Receiving an honourable mention from the judges was a proud moment for our team. The panel’s feedback reinforced our belief that the market is ready for a new approach to cyber risk — one that empowers senior leaders to make informed, strategic decisions. The recognition also validates the hard work and expertise of our team, and our commitment to helping businesses stay ahead of evolving threats.

Congratulations to Sprout Financial

We extend our warmest congratulations to Sprout Financial, whose innovative mortgage platform took first place. Their mission to empower homeowners with smarter mortgage decisions and AI-driven insights is a testament to the diversity and impact of FinTech in the UK.

Looking Ahead

Pitch360 was a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow innovators, investors, and industry experts. We left inspired and energised, more committed than ever to our mission of making cyber risk quantification accessible, actionable, and business-focused.

Thank you to Innovate Finance for organising such a dynamic event and for their ongoing support of the UK FinTech ecosystem. We look forward to participating in future events and continuing to drive the conversation on cyber risk and resilience.
