The fine jewellery brand secured the investment from entrepreneur Steven Bartlett in exchange for a 3% equity stake.
"We know that lab-grown diamonds are the future. Sharing our story on such a huge platform like Dragons Den was a unique opportunity to help spread the word about this relatively new technology, which allows beautiful diamonds and jewellery to be made, without costing the earth."
The seed round includes backing from prominent recruitment tech founders and private crowdfunding.
"For recruitment agencies, their candidates are their product. So, it’s essential that they present the candidate and their brand in the best light possible. There’s no room for human error in candidate presentation, as, according to CFA Institute research, a CV with two or more typos will be instantly rejected by over 97% of hiring managers."
The seed round was led by Will Ventures and backed by Y Combinator, ElevenLabs, and Steven Bartlett.
The Liverpool geospatial firm will partner with the European Space Agency to develop a high-resolution monitoring system.
"Supply interruptions cost utility companies billions of pounds each year, not only in trying to repair and restore supplies but also paying compensation to customers. Construction work is a key cause of disruption and the situation is likely to get worse in the future if planning laws are relaxed. Our systems help them make the most of the available data and take a pro-active approach to identifying and tackling potential hazards. The new system will be the most powerful to date and could help companies to dramatically reduce downtime, regulatory fines and their environmental impact."
The investment round was led by BGF, with additional backing from DSW Ventures.
"We have achieved a lot in a relatively short period but having the support of BGF will enable us to significantly accelerate all parts of our business and to firmly establish ourselves as the global leader in the next generation of market intelligence on the next generation of consumers. Having the backing of an experienced investor such as BGF, is an exciting validation of our commitment to reaching this goal."
