Founded in 2011 by university friends Dana Tobak and Boris Ivanovic, Hyperoptic has since expanded into more than 50 towns and cities nationwide. George Soros has reportedly hired LionTree to sell all or part of his stake in Hyperoptic in a deal that is expected to value the firm at more than £500m. The billionaire investor and philanthropist said he was “very excited” about investing in the company which specialises in providing data analytics for financial services firms such as Barclays, HSBC, Citigroup and UBS.
