The maiden investment round was backed by the British Design Fund and angel investors including Tom Blomfield.
"This funding is not only a huge vote of confidence in PEEQUAL but also a big moment for pee equality the world over. We want PEEQUAL to empower women to take back their time and break the taboo around female urination. We are building a team to bring our urinals to festivals, sporting events, outdoor shows and more. We’re really proud to be changing the way women pee, and doing it in a safe way which reduces time spent in queues."
Kindred Capital led the seed round to support international expansion and product development at m3ter.
"Usage-based pricing offers huge rewards for SaaS businesses, but it isn’t easy to implement. We experienced the pain ourselves when building our previous startup, but we also saw what good tooling can look like at AWS. Today, we’re proud to launch m3ter so that all SaaS businesses can intelligently deploy and manage usage-based pricing."
The London-based eCommerce start-up raised the capital from angel investors including backers from Snap, Catch and MoneySupermarket.
"Online shopping is broken with frustrated Shoppers having to open an explosion of tabs just to find a pair of sneakers in a size that fits. I’m not prepared to accept or adapt to that experience. We’ve come a long way since I took out a personal loan to bootstrap the company and this latest round of funding will enable us to turbo-charge the business. Offering our registered aisle 3 Shoppers a single basket across any retailer is possibly the most exciting opportunity in e-commerce right now. We’re always hiring and looking forward to hearing from commercial partners, investors and potential team members ahead of our visit to Shoptalk [in Las Vegas] at the end of March "
Velocity Capital led the seed round alongside Scottish Enterprise to fund product development and new hires.
"Velocity is delighted to be working with Sheila as she tackles a very real pain point; managing the end-of-life planning process through a user-friendly digital vault, making it simple and easily accessible."
