Netomnia funding rounds
| Date | Stage | Investors | Raised | Deal Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apr 2022 | Series C | DigitalBridge Investment Management (lead); AdvenCap; Soho Square | $371M | Netomnia is a UK-based wholesale full fibre broadband infrastructure provider founded in 2019 by CEO Jeremy Chelot, focused on delivering multi-gigabit fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks. In April 2022, Netomnia and its ISP partner YouFibre secured £295 million in new funding led by DigitalBridge Investment Management, with follow-on commitments from existing shareholders Soho Square Capital and Advencap. The equity investment aimed to support rapid scaling toward a target of one million premises passed within two years from rollout commencement in 2020, having already achieved over 130,000 premises passed by the funding announcement. The transaction closed in Q2 2022 subject to regulatory approvals, advised by Greenhill for the group and Vinson & Elkins for DigitalBridge. DigitalBridge highlighted Netomnia's lean, scalable operating model partnering with major UK construction firms for swift deployment and praised the team's growth in the FTTP sector. The funding positioned Netomnia to expand its network footprint and operational development amid the UK's push for advanced broadband infrastructure. Later developments include DigitalBridge, Advencap, and Soho Square agreeing to sell Substantial Group, Netomnia's parent, to Nexfibre (backed by InfraVia Capital Partners, Liberty Global, and Telefónica) at an enterprise value of £2 billion (approximately $2.7 billion in one report). By the sale announcement, Netomnia had grown to serve over 3 million premises and around 460,000 customers, becoming the second-largest alternative fibre provider behind BT Openreach. The deal supports further UK fibre investments and network completion. |
| Nov 2021 | Undisclosed stage | AdvenCap; ESO Capital Group | $67M | Netomnia is a UK-based wholesale full fibre network operator, focused on building capital-efficient fibre infrastructure to serve businesses and communities with high-speed internet. In November 2021, it raised £50 million in equity funding from AdvenCap (£25m), ESO Capital Partners UK (£20m), and founders (£5m) to support network expansion. This round built the foundation for subsequent investments, including £123m towards the end of 2021 from existing shareholders and £295m in 2022 led by DigitalBridge, joining ESO Capital Partners, AdvenCap, Avenue Capital Group, and Soho Square Capital, aimed at accelerating fibre roll-out to one million premises by 2023. Netomnia merged with brsk in 2024 to form one of the UK's largest alternative fibre providers, reaching over 3 million premises serviceable and approximately 460,000 customers. The company positioned itself as the fourth-largest full fibre network, backed by over £1.6 billion in total funding, competing against BT Openreach in the consolidating UK fibre market. By 2025-2026, it expanded to more than 3.4 million premises passed and over 500,000 customers post-buildout. In February 2026, Advencap, DigitalBridge, and Soho Square Capital agreed to sell 100% of their stake in Netomnia (via parent Substantial Group) to InfraVia, Liberty Global, and Telefónica's joint venture nexfibre for an enterprise value of £2 billion (approximately $2.7 billion), facilitating further UK fibre investment. This exit valued the scaled platform after years of growth from the 2021 funding, with the buyer committing additional capital amid market consolidation where nexfibre-Netomnia-Virgin Media O2 aimed to pass 20 million premises collectively. |
