Funding Announcements

"OneUp Sales has been a pioneer in the field of sales management systems. Mercia supported it from the start and it has been rewarding to watch its continued growth and development. We look forward to working with Derry, James and the team as they continue to scale the business."

"We are passionate about backing visionary entrepreneurs with game-changing ideas. Our partnership with FundMyPitch enables us to connect with and invest in some of the most promising early-stage ventures. We celebrate the risk-takers, the innovators, and the business builders shaping the future. Through our Family Office, we’re committed to fostering entrepreneurial success and helping these startups scale globally."

"Recruiting is broken. It’s a slow and manual process, with extremely expensive hiring fees, and hundreds of unsuitable applications. Hiring managers are frustrated, and candidates are burnt out applying to job advert after job advert and then never hearing back. That’s why we have built Alfa. Our AI Agent is capable of millions of calls simultaneously, in any language, at 97% lower cost than a human."

"We are joining sustainability with affordability, supporting schools to sell pre-loved uniforms through an online, customer-friendly platform. Our model helps parents save money, supports schools with vital funding, and reduces waste and carbon emissions – all whilst making sure no perfectly good uniform item goes to waste. By encouraging donations of pre-loved uniforms, we’re not only helping families, but we’re also reducing the environmental impact of school clothing waste. The UK sends thousands of school uniform items to landfill or incineration every year, but with CRESS, we can decrease this waste, provide children with books and plant trees all in one go. We’re so passionate about making a difference, and we’re really grateful to Ranvir and GC Angels for their support. By introducing us to the likes of GMCA and Carma, along with their financial investment, GC Angels is helping to propel CRESS into our next stage of growth. This will mean we can support even more schools across not only Greater Manchester, but also country wide."

"AIN’s continued support speaks volumes about their confidence in our vision to modernise funeral care with compassion and technology. We’ve been at the forefront of innovation in the sector, enabling individuals to personalise final farewells online or by phone, saving thousands and easing the emotional and administrative burden. This funding will be instrumental in expanding our services and strengthening our commitment to innovative, sustainable end-of-life solutions."
