The funding round was backed by Angels in the City, LBA private investors, and the London Co-Investment Fund.
"this has been a tremendous last year for the business and the high quality of investors supporting this funding round is a testament to this. The combination of this new funding and the expertise in the investor group will be instrumental as we scale from our strong base."

"2016 was a great year for Advizzo with strong traction from the utilities market and great interest from investors. Such pre-series A is a great achievement for Advizzo with a fruitful collaboration with London Business Angels and the LCIF which did a follow-up investment alongside experienced private investors who know the utilities industry trends very well. We will continue to expand in 2017 locally and internationally with additional software modules."
