The company raised the capital from over 180 investors through an equity crowdfunding campaign.
The Manchester based technology firm has secured debt funding to boost cashflow ahead of major commercial deals.
"Securing this funding will play a key role in our expansion plans, providing us with the financial freedom to develop our tech platforms and target future partnerships. We have seen considerable interest for our ‘Digital Twin’ technology from across the manufacturing and engineering sectors, and with the ongoing support of both NPIF and GC Business Finance, we’re confident that we are in an excellent position to maximise our potential."
The seed round was backed by angel investors and led by members of the Georgian Angel Network and SOSV.
"Freshspoke's continues to show itself as a leader in wholesale local food distribution,"
Members of Green Angel Syndicate have backed the durable goods e-commerce platform in a £550k round.
"I hate fast fashion and loathe products which are designed to break or wear out quickly. I also don't much like shopping. BuyMeOnce is a revelation. The best due diligence you can do on an investment is to use it before you invest, and for me buying clothes and kit from BuyMeOnce has been a really pleasurable experience. BuyMeOnce ticks all the boxes – it is an exciting high growth company which reduces waste and cuts the time I have to spend doing things I don't like."
The funding from the Development Bank of Wales will support new retail outlets and a manufacturing hub in North Wales.
"I started the business in 2009 after studying in Bologna and was amazed by the passion and creativity of the gelato chefs. It’s amazing what you can do with a great imagination and an appreciative audience. Our main ice-cream production is carried out at the main trading premise in Beaumaris but as our loyal army of followers has grown and grown, we recognised the need to expand with more retail outlets and a larger production hub."
