Christian Angermayer backs the influencer marketing platform as it launches in New York.
"Invyted is one of the most exciting early-stage companies I’ve seen in a long time… Asti Wagner is building something truly unique that sits at the intersection of tech, community, and culture. We’re thrilled to be backing her and the Invyted team as they scale globally."
The funding round was backed by Arāya Ventures and accompanies an expansion into 737 Boots stores nationwide.
"Women’s health has been sidelined for far too long. At Unfabled, we’ve shown that when you truly listen to women, you don’t just create better products – you create a movement. Boots expanding our footprint by over 1000% proves that women’s health is no longer niche. We’re proud to be building a brand, a community, and a category that retailers and investors can no longer ignore."
The financing round was led by Cornerstone with backing from several early stage investors.
"Rising care costs, an overstretched social care system, and the demands of daily life can leave families feeling guilty and stretched thin as they think about their elderly loved ones. That’s why I’m thrilled to back George and Alex as they build Gladys, a managed social care platform that makes it easy to find and book trusted caregivers and companions. Their mission is close to my heart: giving families peace of mind and helping everyone grow old with dignity, in the home they cherish, for as long as possible."
Puma Growth Partners led the Series A financing with backing from several returning investors and angels.
"We couldn't be happier to be partnering with Puma on this opportunity. We have the team, the tech, the market size and therefore the opportunity to build a $bn business helping brands launch and scale in the world's largest ecommerce market. We needed an investor who matched YASO's ambitions, and we have found that in Puma. We are also delighted with the other co-investors, including the Seed investors, both VCs and Angels, who have been there since day 1, who backed us again in this round. We can't wait to take YASO to the next level!"
