Nesta Impact Investments backed the round to support workforce optimisation and collective intelligence.
"ProFinda is a platform that will help transform the workplace, empowering people to demonstrate, use and develop their skills more effectively and facilitating the development of new forms of collaborative working that break down the limitations of traditional enterprise structures."
The funding was led by Joe Saumarez Smith to support the expansion of the Alvius platform.
"Now employers can use our software to create their own talent platforms, replacing slow and inefficient sourcing and selection processes and matching great talent with current opportunities in a fraction of the time."

The European Investment Bank provided the debt financing to support food waste reduction technology under the Juncker Plan.
"Winnow’s objective to help professional kitchens reduce their amounts of food waste is both good for our natural resources, and it makes economic sense. By helping businesses monitor and analyse what they are throwing away each day, using innovative technology, Winnow is empowering them to change their actions. I am proud that this project is being supported by the EU bank and the Juncker Plan."
— Karmenu Vella, European Commissioner for Environment, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries
