The London-based food technology company has raised £4m from Earthworm and other backers to build new plant factories and scale production.
"Following several years of hard work, today's raise validates our growth strategy and strong position in the London market, furthering our mission to improve the food and health of urban inhabitants, starting in London"
The instant messaging platform secured investment from backers including Baroness Bottomley and Nick Carter.
Maven Capital Partners provided the loan through the Midlands Engine Investment Fund.
"Our business is centred around delivering products and solutions that provide significant value for our customers in order to make a real difference in people’s lives. This loan will support us with our product development plans and will accelerate our growth plans. We look forward to working with the MEIF team to achieve this."
The seed round was led by the North East Venture Fund and investor Jenny Campbell to support regional deployment and hiring.
"I’d struggled to find the right investors and was ready to give up on the idea, but Mercia showed strong support and then the opportunity to go on Dragons’ Den came up. The reaction from the programme has been brilliant and demonstrated that there was a real appetite for the solution across the UK. With the backing of Mercia and Jenny Campbell, I am now ready to start deploying into live locations over the coming months."
Oak HC/FT led the financing round, which will fund network expansion and product development.
"Global commerce is at a critical inflection point as businesses are pressed to launch new applications, process and accept local payment methods, disburse funds, and manage risk and compliance so they can offer highly localized customer experiences without having to build their own infrastructure. The expectation today is that this must happen around the world in order to drive growth into new markets. As more than half of all transactions worldwide are facilitated via bank transfers and cash, merchants find it increasingly difficult to digitally enable local payment methods and process cross-border sales that are required for international expansion."
