"We believe every decision maker should have access to location insight on demand. This investment brings that closer and accelerates our product pipeline.

Our unique technical architecture enables high-resolution, predictive location intelligence at scale in seconds."
Haatch led the pre-seed round for the artificial intelligence native insurance broker to expand its engineering and data teams.
"After nearly 20 years in the industry, I’ve seen just how little has changed. Insurance is still too reliant on paperwork, underinsurance is far too common, and fees are often higher than they should be. We built Meshed to change that, to bring costs down for SMEs, give them the right protection and make the whole process faster, simpler, and more transparent."
Start Something Ventures has backed the Scottish IT service management partner to support growth in North America and Europe.
"SSV’s support comes at a pivotal time as we deepen our enterprise service management practice. Their backing empowers us to extend our consulting teams, refine our delivery methodologies, and engage with major public- and private-sector organizations across the US and EMEA."
The financing round was driven largely by HH Gaming and HellHades community members.
"With an already engaged and proven audience of over 2 million players across our YouTube channels, website, Discord and social media, we’re excited and confident that Godforge will help evolve the hero collector genre for the next generation of players. More importantly, the community has already expressed great belief in the game by helping us raise funds of $6M (USD) during our initial startup phase and was a major contributor to our latest round"
The company completed its final angel raise backed by a network of local investors.
"I’ve known for a long time that the trend for consumers is toward convenience, and that’s what I’ve been working on for the last 7 years in total now. I’m really proud that of the 103 Angel Investors in Patch App, 83% of them are from within an hour of our head office in Burnley, Lancashire. It’s been a long, hard slog but people have believed in our team. We knew a Fund wasn’t the right approach for us, so we did it a different way"
