"It’s always exciting when we hear about entrepreneurs who have landed on a truly untapped market. That’s what the team at Symbe has done. Every single company in the world is selling something. But very few have explored how AI and machine learning can turbocharge that process, whilst protecting the trust and personalisation that ultimately help teams win. Symbe’s technology will usher in a new frontier when it comes to how companies position their offering and ultimately close deals. We’re very excited to back this talented trio of founders at the beginning of their journey."

"For too long entry-level candidates have been faced with the chicken and egg scenario of requiring experience to secure a job, but needing a job to get experience, and judged based on where they received their education. Now, we’re eliminating those problems by encouraging employers to ditch the outdated method of CV screening, and hire talent based on their attitude, behaviour and potential. We’re also building a community for young people that empowers them with skills, confidence and support to thrive in the world of work, and land a role where they can shine."
— Sophie O'Brien, Founder
