Catapult Ventures has backed the Manchester based digital health start-up to fund product trials.
"Healthbox CIC, is really excited to work alongside MyHelp. This new innovative product has huge potential not only to save money to an already overstretched mental health system but will also support people and, as an added bonus, save counsellors’ time."
Lunar Ventures and Techstart Ventures co-led the pre-seed round for the computer vision start-up.
"I want to thank our team for the hard work they’ve put in to get us where we are today. Like most companies, we’ve hit a rough patch at the start of the pandemic and we wouldn’t have made it without each and every individual contribution."
The home intelligence brand secured the investment after winning The Start Up Series competition.
"We have so many connected devices in the home from nanny cams and speakers to smart fridges, digital doorbells and games consoles, that we need security for all of them. Our vision is to protect at least two million homes and families from cyber-attacks by 2025 so this investment will support our efforts to grow substantially over the next 12 months in order to do so."
The London-based start-up has closed its first funding round with backing from tennis enthusiast and fintech investor David Kasper.
"We are extremely excited to partner with David and start our journey towards becoming the world’s largest online sporting community for amateurs. There are over 1 billion people in the world who find it very difficult to meet partners near them, at a similar standard and available to play. This is exactly why we’re here and we’re determined to help them all."
