"The magnitude of the skills-gap crisis is astonishing. More than half of companies around the world cannot find the skills they are looking for. Many companies are responding by adopting a new operating model for workforces; one that sees skills as the fundamental building blocks of work. But up until now there was no coherent technology solution to support such a transition. Spotted Zebra changes that! We power skills-based organisations,"
The financing round was led by Frontline Ventures to support team expansion and technology development.
"Our mental healthcare industry is in crisis. The demand for services is growing, while the supply of skilled professionals is dwindling.

"When we started this fundraise the market was just starting to go through a rough spot, so there was a lot of talk about negative sentiment. However, what we found is that there is a significant amount of venture capital out there. Funds have been raised and need to be deployed, investors are just more selective. Our industry is counter-cyclical and we designed our business to grow in a sustainable way, with positive unit economics and a clear path to profitability in mind. The current macro trend has played to our strengths and allowed us to select amazing partners for the journey ahead! We are very grateful to all of our new investors and are excited to build out the next stage of Finverity’s growth in partnership with them!"
The funding round was led by Redrice, Joyance Partners, Velocity Juice, and angel investors.
"For so many women, their intimate skin is an afterthought, only prioritised when there is a ‘problem’ and they’re forced to use outdated feminine hygiene products which have ‘what’s wrong with her?’ associations."
The funding round was backed by angel networks, syndicate funds and high profile individual investors.
"At MyPocketSkill we are passionate about supporting young people to develop the skills to become employable and the financial habits to become financially capable, which often go hand-in-hand.
