Case Studies

Across Europe’s innovation landscape, we partner with founders at pivotal moments: when growth accelerates, markets shift, or ambition outpaces available capital. Our role is to provide the financial flexibility that helps teams stay focused on execution, control, and long-term vision. These stories reflect how that partnership approach has supported some of Europe’s most resilient and forward-thinking companies on their growth journeys.

Griffin

Griffin, now the UK’s first full-stack, Banking-as-a-Service platform with a full banking licence, is redefining how FinTechs embed financial services. Founded by Silicon Valley engineers David Jarvis and Allen Rohner, the company built its own banking infrastructure from the ground up, combining API-driven innovation with regulatory expertise. CLP’s early and flexible growth facility provided a vital runway during Griffin’s licensing phase, enabling the company to scale confidently toward full operational status and a successful funding round. 

Mews

Mews is a cloud-based property management system transforming how modern hoteliers operate and engage their guests. Through thoughtful innovation and targeted acquisitions such as Bizzon, Mews has strengthened its platform and extended its reach across more than 3,000 hospitality brands. CLP’s loans helped Mews to grow by funding both operations and acquisitions. CLP’s flexibility and speed gave Mews the ability to act with agility on opportunities that advanced its long-term expansion while maintaining operational focus.
