Accel led the seed financing round alongside existing backers to support team growth and product expansion.
"Business planning and forecasting should involve every team in a company, but the complexity of spreadsheets means that it’s often siloed within finance,"
The flexible hiring marketplace surpassed its crowdfunding target by over 133% to fuel its ongoing expansion.
"We’re in a perfect storm of employment disruption. We’ve gone through one of the most seismic overhauls of how we work ever, we’ve got employees that already wanted more flexibility trying to work for companies that aren’t sure what the future holds. At the same time, we’ve got the Government trying to get people back into the office, when that isn’t necessarily what people want. As our campaign shows, there is definitely appetite from both employers and employees to explore more flexible working arrangements, but the current recruitment mechanism is ill-equipped to support that. We’re aiming to fix it."
Cambridge Enterprise led the seed financing, which includes backing from Parkwalk, New Grounds, and R42 Group.
"Many researchers would like to get molecular binding data more conveniently and more frequently to guide them through a drug development project. HexagonFab aims to address this need with the Bolt. This investment will enable us to bring our game-changing product to the market. We look forward to the months ahead working closely with our lead customers,"
— Christoph von Bieberstein, Founder and Commercial Director
The seed follow-on round was led by SFC Capital to support engineering expansion and product development.
"Since launching in 2018, we’re developed fantastic relationships with beauty brands across the world, helping them re-write the rules of product sampling and bring it into the digital age. We’re now expanding the support we can provide to these businesses; enabling them to run hyper-personalised marketing campaigns that boost ROI and convert more customers, all from one dashboard."
The haulage recruitment specialist has raised £300k from Mercia and chairman Keverne Watt to fund expansion.
"The pandemic has had a major impact on supply chains and the haulage industry. By improving efficiency and enabling them to recruit drivers remotely, our platform has helped firms to keep going in these uncertain times. With continued pressure on costs, it is all the more important for operators to minimise unnecessary expenses like recruitment fees to enable them to maintain profits and improve drivers’ wages."
