Total Performance Data (TPD), a horse racing live data provider, has announced that BPC UK Lending DAC (Beach Point Capital UK) is supporting its rapid growth via a flexible debt facility.

Beach Point Capital UK specializes in growth lending in the UK. Its primary focus is providing capital to high-growth SMEs seeking to expand their business, make acquisitions, and execute MBOs/MBIs without diluting their equity. Beach Point Capital UK’s familiarity with the sports data sector made them the standout financing partner for TPD’s next wave of growth.

TPD and Beach Point Capital UK were matched by the FundFlow.AI venture debt platform that saw credentials sent out to over 80 funds using state of the art fund raising technology.

TPD has increased revenue over 40 per cent a year for the past several years and there remains a great deal of opportunity to enhance horse racing’s appeal to fans and punters worldwide using the performance metrics captured from one of the most data-rich sports in the world.

The funds will be used to increase investment in all areas of the business, especially the data science and machine learning team who have just released the latest version of TPD’s In Play AI model that has generated over £50m of new in-play turnover for Entain, William Hill, Sky Bet, Bet Victor and Boylesports. The new approach uses less than one per cent of the resources of the previous version and is extremely quick to retrain.

There is also exciting work to amplify in the sensor fusion space as TPD increases the intensity of the horse tracking that now takes place across 14 countries with 7,000 horses a week throwing off millions of fresh performance stats. 28 new racetracks were added in 2024 and another 6 were set up in Q1. The team has grown to over 25 full time employees with more than 100 people handling the system worldwide each week.

Will Duff Gordon, CEO of TPD, said: “We’re delighted to partner with Beach Point Capital UK who impressed us greatly with their streamlined decision making, collaboration and how quickly they deeply understood the strength of our business. We look forward to working with Seth and Shane over the years ahead. We also found the FundFlow.AI platform an excellent aid that undoubtedly saved management time and led to the best possible outcome.”

Seth Vaughan for Beach Point Capital UK, commented: “Will and the team at TPD have created a uniquely positioned sports data business, working with numerous partners in the racing industry to enrich the offering to existing fans and grow the appeal to new ones. The business has demonstrated excellent growth and we’re excited to be supporting them on the next phase of their journey.”

George Van Dorp for FundFlow.AI added: “TPD is the global leader in real-time horse racing telematics, attracting strong interest from venture lenders across the UK and internationally to support the company’s next growth phase. We’re thrilled TPD used the FundFlow.AI platform to manage their venture debt raise, and that our matching engine connected them with Beach Point, the ideal partner given their global reach and experience with the sports data sector.”
