Startup Funding Club and the London Co-Investment Fund back retail analytics provider Shoppar in their first co-investment.
"We are very excited to support Shoppar, whose technology allows retailers to revolutionise their in-store experience and gather more data from their physical locations. We’re also very pleased to close the first of many co-investments with the London Co-Investment Fund and we thank Funding London for their support in closing the transaction."
The investment from a syndicate of angels will help accelerate product expansion and reach.
"this investment allows us to accelerate our plans and to expand the reach of our existing offerings. Our clients are also very happy as we continue to remain independent and un-conflicted with other market participants, meaning that we can continue to implement solutions that work perfectly for all parties."
The smart home energy company secured funding from over 1,200 public backers on Crowdcube.
"We entered into crowdfunding as we wanted a percentage of the company to be genuinely owned by the consumer. To receive this level of investment from the public is an incredible endorsement for all of the hard work the Verv team has done so far and we’re excited to have brought on board an incredible 1217 crowd investors join us on our journey."
