"The next generation of young people want an experience the fashion industry is struggling to provide. They want authenticity and to set their own trends. They’re influenced by real people. They want choice and individuality, the ability to buy on demand and sell on with ease. At the same time, they want to reduce waste. Depop is set up to meet these changing demands. We exist to empower the next generation to transform fashion."
The seed round was led by the founder of Fitness First to support team expansion and technology investments.
"It’s great to have brought in such a distinguished group of investors. In much the same way Fitness First pioneered health clubs, we want to bring the club model to the bike industry."

"I am delighted that we have found a group of investors who share Q-Bot's vision to become the world leader in robotic solutions that inspect and apply materials to buildings. From surveying tower blocks to manoeuvring around under suspended floors to apply insulation, Q-Bot's technology is being used to transform processes across the construction sector. Our customer-led approach, paired with a unique combination of robotics, AI and building expertise, has allowed us to identify a huge commercial opportunity to disrupt the status quo and in doing so, strengthened the potential to have a positive social and environmental impact. The successful closing of our latest investment round will allow us to accelerate our growth plans, move into new markets and expand our technology portfolio."
