The investment package from Frontier Development Capital will support expansion and recruitment at the virtual reality specialist.
"For a VR company we are unusual, because we are already profitable and already selling to many of the world's biggest brands. The one thing that has held us back is that we haven't had enough investment to expand as quickly as we would have liked. Frontier Development Capital's involvement now enables us to accelerate our growth."
The Series A round was co-led by Amadeus Capital Partners and Global Brain Corporation to support product development.
"Mobility is changing fast but transport decision-making is slow and expensive, based on poor data. Cities need to accommodate growth, improve resilience and serve an ageing population while improving accessibility, air quality and energy consumption. Operators are facing increasingly low margins and both market and technology disruption, and consumers are expecting an ever more seamless service. This is a large-scale system problem that requires digital transformation to integrate siloed assets and empower effective decision-making."
The financing round was co-led by Balderton and Northzone, bringing the company's total funding to £40m.
"The feedback we are getting from private companies and public sector customers alike is that staff are happier, more productive and have greater financial security once they start using our service."
NVM Private Equity led the Series A round to support workforce expansion and product development.
"This investment is a big vote of confidence for Quotevine and the work we are doing. There is a big shift taking place in the asset and auto finance sector, driven by the prevalence of interesting technologies like AI and IoT. Businesses in this space have a huge opportunity to get ahead by understanding how these technologies can be adopted to drive operational value and better meet customers shifting demands and need for personalisation. We are thrilled we have NVM on board and look forward to building our business."
The round was led by Index Ventures and will support international expansion.
"Our focus is on helping to simplify fundraising, and we’ve had an amazing response from startups who find the whole process quite painful. We’ve removed the complexity, unnecessary middlemen, standardised and automated the processes, and that has really resonated with both founders and investors."
