Oxford Capital has led a Series A round for logistics startup Weengs, with backing from Local Globe, Cherry Ventures, and Venture Friends.
"Oxford Capital is the right investor to have on board as we embark on this ambitious next phase of growth for the business."
The investment extension was led by Harwell Capital to support expansion into new digital media sectors.
"Harwell has been a hugely supportive investment partner, who provide far more than cash alone to the company. They understand our vision and objectives and bring significant advice and acumen to ensure we can execute on our continued growth plans in a most exciting market."
Earthworm has provided a £2.2m Series B investment to support Weedingtech as it expands its herbicide-free weed control technology internationally.
"We believe the investment from Earthworm recognises two key things. Firstly, the success Weedingtech has had to date supplying the market with a popular and essential alternative to traditional chemical herbicides. And secondly, the global high-growth potential that the herbicide-free sector holds as organisations increasingly look to reduce their reliance on traditional chemical herbicides. Weedingtech was founded on very similar values to Earthworm in that we wanted to develop and supply products that benefit the environment. It’s an exciting time to be in this sector and we are delighted to have a new investor who shares our vision and values."
The seed round was led by Speedinvest to support the development of disinformation detection technology.
"While I was building my previous start-up I saw at first-hand how biased, polarising news articles were shared and artificially amplified by vast numbers of fake accounts. This gave the stories high levels of exposure and authenticity they wouldn’t have had on their own."
The British fintech firm executed the test issuance using its TokenFactory platform in partnership with Nivaura.
"We have succeeded in what we hope is the first step in reinventing capital markets. By tokenising our own equity at 20|30 through TokenFactory, we can demonstrate that there is a far better way to unlock the value of equity, built on innovative blockchain technology which will transform the way companies raise capital,"
