Octopus Investments leads a Series A round to support international expansion and technology investment at SimplyCook.
"Whereas fresh food delivery still caters for maybe 0.25-0.5 percent of evening meals in the UK. Flavour already works as a way to get people cooking. Fresh Meal Kits are fairly unproven."
Foresight Group led the £1.3m investment to fund sales, marketing, and clinical trials.
"We have been impressed by the rapid progress FFL has made since launch of the second-generation OvuSense product with strong sales traction in the US and UK. FFL is a well-run business that has developed an innovative, clinically supported and IP rich product in OvuSense. We are looking forward to working alongside Rob Milnes and the wider management team on the next stage of the Company’s growth."
Calculus Capital led the funding round, which will support the fintech firm as it scales its client base.
"We are delighted to have Calculus on board. Their investment and expertise come at a hugely important time for us. Asset managers face increasing pressure to prove their alpha-generating skill and improve performance, which provides a significant opportunity for us to continue growing and developing our service. We are very much looking forward to working closely with Calculus to achieve our mission of helping human investors make measurably better decisions."
The investment round was led by Anthemis Group and XTX Ventures.
"We are applying cutting edge quantitative analytics technology to traditional real estate development and investment management, which is crying out for the same type of transformation seen previously in financial markets and other industries. We offer a powerful institutional product which brings clarity and transparency to investment in UK real estate and we want to thank our clients and investors for their continuing support in helping us continue on our mission."
Circularity Capital led a multi-million pound growth round in ZigZag Global to accelerate international expansion.
"ZigZag has developed a powerful solution for retailers to addressing the growing challenge posed by e-commerce returns. Our investment in ZigZag is highly aligned with Circularity’s focus on using the circular economy to identify opportunities to drive financial value creation in parallel with positive environmental and societal impact."
