"Frontline workers are the backbone of the service economy, yet they remain under-served by outdated systems that make tipping opaque, distribution slow, and compliance a headache for employers. With the shift to a cashless society and the introduction of the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2023, businesses are under increasing pressure to manage tips fairly and transparently, while workers struggle to make their earnings go further."

"Since launching our automated online payment solutions, we’ve had repeated calls to bring the same simplicity and speed to integrated payments. Businesses processing both in-person and online payments – whether they’re marketplaces, franchises, or acquirers – have lacked a truly competitive solution, leaving too many relying on cumbersome and unnecessarily complicated end-of-month reconciliations and reporting. With the launch of our omni-channel payment platform, Ryft will enable businesses operating online and in-store to efficiently process, manage, and monetise payments at scale in a secure and compliant way. In turn, allowing them to maximise the value of every transaction."

"This follow-on investment is a huge vote of confidence in our platform and our strategy. Retailers and brands need flexible, future-proof infrastructure to stay competitive, and Patchworks gives them the power and speed they need. We’re doubling down on the US market, scaling our partner ecosystem, and continuing to enhance the platform with AI and other innovations so our customers can connect, adapt and grow faster."

"Invyted is one of the most exciting early-stage companies I’ve seen in a long time… Asti Wagner is building something truly unique that sits at the intersection of tech, community, and culture. We’re thrilled to be backing her and the Invyted team as they scale globally."
