YOONO Selected for Catapult: FundTech 2026 as Due Diligence Demand Rises

YOONO, the deep people intelligence platform redefining how regulated firms assess people risk, has been selected as one of the Top 10 FinTech innovators for Catapult: FundTech 2026.

Led by The LHoFT – Luxembourg House of Financial Technology, in partnership with the Ministry of Finance Luxembourg, ALFI, and MiddleGame Ventures, the programme identifies fintech companies addressing structural challenges across Luxembourg’s €7.6 trillion fund ecosystem.

YOONO’s selection signals a broader shift across regulated industries. Across financial services, governance standards are rising while traditional due diligence processes remain fragmented, manual and difficult to defend under scrutiny. Surface level screening is no longer enough.

YOONO replaces hours of inconsistent research with structured, audit ready intelligence delivered in minutes. The platform resolves identity, risk and reputation into a single defensible report by analysing millions of structured and unstructured data points across global public records, litigation datasets, regulatory filings, corporate structures and media.

For asset managers, fund service providers and governance teams operating in complex cross border environments, YOONO acts as a decision critical intelligence layer, embedding deep people insight directly into fund operations and oversight workflows.

Participation in Catapult marks a strategic step in YOONO’s expansion into EU regulated markets and one of the world’s most sophisticated fund jurisdictions. The programme provides direct engagement with industry leaders shaping the future of fund governance and risk infrastructure.

Richard Tavernor, Founder of YOONO, said: “Financial services has modernised every part of its infrastructure, except how it assesses people. Too often, critical decisions still rely on fragmented tools and manual research that won’t withstand regulatory scrutiny.YOONO was built to replace that model entirely. Intelligence must be structured, defensible and embedded at the point of decision. Catapult reflects the industry’s recognition that this shift is already underway.”
