The strategic round was co-led by North Island Ventures and Blockchain.com Ventures.
"There’s so much more we want to offer our clients, and many untapped regions we’d like to be in to help those markets grow via reliable payments and market infrastructure. This funding round comes at a very exciting time for BCB Group and will be transformative for our client experience."
Hindustan Media Ventures led the £1m seed round alongside crowdfunding and angel support to fund international expansion and product development.
"We’re delighted with the outcome of our fundraising efforts. Wurkr is emerging as a start-up success story, as we worked to expand during the pandemic crisis in an economically challenging landscape. Since our launch, we were able to develop the business without government grants, and this seed funding round helps to position us strongly for the next phase of our growth strategy. The incredibly high calibre of our investors is testament to the very real and needed solution that Wurkr’s platform brings to the market."
