Fuel Ventures led the pre-seed round, which will fund product development, marketing, and team expansion.
"We’re looking forward to working with Theo, the founder of Slinger, a platform that addresses the UK’s hospitality worker shortage by connecting the UK’s 10.3 million frontline workers to Living Wage opportunities."

Silverstripe led the Series A round with participation from Frontline Ventures, Guillaume Pousaz, and Brad Bao.
"We are thrilled to welcome Silverstripe to the Shackle story. It has been great to build a really strong relationship with the team, and their experience and track record in the finance and tech sector will supercharge our mission to revolutionise the hotel industry."
BlackFin Capital Partners led the Series B round, which will fund product development and market expansion.
"This financing round will enable us to double down on our mission of providing financial advisors with cutting-edge technology that simplifies their workflow, elevates the client experience, and ultimately improves financial outcomes for millions of people in the UK. I’m truly delighted that our mission has resonated so deeply with financial advisers and our valued investors. The UK’s financial advice market represents a staggering £1 trillion in AUM, and we aspire to rank among the top three providers of technology and Model Portfolio Services for IFAs within the next three years."
The London-based fintech secured £19.3m to accelerate product development and expand internationally.
"In a very tough fundraising environment, this investment represents terrific confidence in what we’ve built so far and in HyperJar’s future as a global business."
The funding round follows the company securing default browser status on Apple devices and precedes a planned Series A in 2024.
"Being awarded default browser status by Apple is a huge milestone for the Chatloop team, who have worked tirelessly for the last ten months to ensure our app meets Apple’s stringent integration requirements. Our world-class browser is faster than both Chrome and Safari and default browser status across Apple’s products means that billions of people across the world can now enjoy the benefits of Chatloop every time they go online."
