Advisers B&Y facilitated the £500k capital injection and ownership buyout following a period of stagnant turnover.
"The project transformed from a requirement for working capital to a complete turnaround solution, and there was a significant level of interest from our investors from day one. I am delighted that in the end we found the right new set of shareholders, who bring with them enormous expertise in driving growth and profitability."
The Greater Manchester spinout secured the capital from backers including The North West Fund for Biomedical and Central Manchester Foundation Trust to fund pre-clinical trials.
"Manchester is committed to its strategic and operational support for business growth and Co Angel Investment are just one of the services we have supported which is making a difference. We knew when we launched Co that Manchester held huge potential for a better, lower risk investment platform: the growing businesses like Gelexir are here, the Angels are here and now we have the infrastructure to bring them together to release further potential in the region."
The funding round was backed by Co Angel, The North West Fund for Biomedical, and the Central Manchester Foundation Trust.
"The team at Co have been instrumental as part of the process to date in giving strong and impartial advice, providing us links to potential investors, and generally supporting us in the fund raising process."
The digital marketing agency raised growth capital via a revenue loan to fund key hires and marketing platforms.
"Traditional bank funding was not able to provide us with the support that we need. As well as allowing us access to finance, Crowd2Fund have provided us with marketing and business development resources which have allowed us to raise more awareness of who Beef Digital are and what we are doing."
The funding round was led by JamJar Investments with participation from Missri Group and an Asian manufacturing group.
"I recognised the hassle that comes along with a regular booster seat when my children were in a carpool or getting picked up by their grandparents. So I realised that, if I could design a booster that was mighty small and mighty strong, one that kids could take with them everywhere, then they could always travel safely, no matter whose car they went in."
