Uma Rajah is the Co-Founder and CEO of CapitalRise, a specialist lender focused on development and bridging finance for high-end property projects.
With over 18 years of FinTech experience, Uma founded the business alongside the prime real estate developers behind Finchatton and Valouran. Together, the team has so far lent against over £1.2bn of property assets – predominantly in London and the South East.
CapitalRise was launched to address the long‑standing funding gap in the prime sector, where experienced borrowers were routinely underserved by slow, traditional institutions. The company provides a fast, flexible and tech‑enabled alternative, built on deep sector expertise, rigorous underwriting, and strong engagement with experienced brokers and borrowers.
Under Uma’s leadership, CapitalRise has originated around £600m of loans across prime postcodes and continues to expand its capacity through new funding lines and lending products, supporting the growing demand for high‑quality, bespoke finance solutions.
