Eight Roads invests $17m in More2
Eight Roads Ventures, the venture capital arm of FIL International, has invested $17m in More2, a UK data analytics and marketing consultancy serving the retail and e-commerce sectors.
More2 stated it will use the fresh capital to expand its international operations and diversify into new market segments.

The VC, formerly known as Fidelity Growth Partners, rebranded as Eight Roads in July and simultaneously announced the launch of a new £150m pan-European fund.
