Funding Announcements

"The funding we received from LBA’s Angels in the City programme helped to fill a gap; we needed more money than we could raise from friends and relatives, but it was too soon for us to go down the conventional Venture Capital route. As well as the financial backing to get the business off the ground, our investors offered us valuable strategic advice which has helped us grow. Hopster’s grown strongly since we closed the funding – Apple iTunes has ranked us in the top 20 for children’s apps and we are currently planning to expand our operation internationally. None of this would have been possible without that initial support."

"We are thrilled to be working with More Than Angels and Turning Point as Honest Brew enters an important growth stage. The investment will see us accelerate our growth and allow more people to experience the service. The team are passionate about giving customers the best experience possible and will continue to develop our online platform to give the customer even more control."

"In 2014 we built a small, ad-based network in London and ran ad campaigns for Diageo, Apple, 20th Century Fox and other big brands. Now, with the backing of LBA, LCIF and other UK angels, we are creating a nationwide network of 200 screens. It’s a rare thing to say you make 100,000 laugh every week – and the best possible way to address the problem of advertising to a young, male audience."

"We have seen a great deal of interest from investors when they hear this story which isn’t surprising – our client is the last independent company of its size in this niche sector. The future prospects are extremely exciting and we continue to support and advise our client as we raise further funding for marketing and expansion."
