"This is an amazing milestone,"
The Manchester-based car rental platform secured £534k from DSW Ventures and angel investor Harry Dixon to fund European expansion and team growth.
"The online car rental market is ripe for disruption. Stressfreecarrental.com offers a fresh approach and we believe it is well-placed to achieve significant scale. The business has already gained considerable traction, despite restrictions on travel, and this round will support its further development and growth."
LocalGlobe led the Pre-Seed round to support the platform in expanding its culinary reach.
"Food is intrinsically linked to who we are, and how we relate to our cultures. It offers us a sense of familiarity, it stirs emotions and memories,"
The seed round was co-led by PROfounders and Revent with participation from Northzone and Nomad Capital.
"Breakroom’s mission is to make every job a good job. Most people don’t work from offices: they’re on the frontline, working shifts and many of them are paid by the hour. The pandemic has shown that there are too many jobs that are undervalued and need to improve. The recent labour shortages in sectors like logistics and hospitality show that now is a great time to make sure that things are different in the future. Breakroom will help workers find the best job for them and help employers compete on the quality of the jobs they offer."
La Famiglia led the seed investment, which featured backing from several prominent angel investors and venture firms.
"Unlock was just what we needed. From constantly trying to find ways to connect online, to a structured platform that has everything we looked for. The team loved the activities and the connections that were created and reinforced with their colleagues. Unlock is a no-brainer for any remote team and for managers looking for an easy plug n’ play solution to increase remote team satisfaction"
