Funding Announcements

"Given the backdrop, to attract such strong investor interest is extremely pleasing. The new funding will help us to continue our mission to protect children on mobile devices, whether at school or in the home. Mobile Guardian was already gaining traction as more and more schools around the world began to use remote learning as a key part of a child's education. The lockdown has accelerated the trend, and I want to thank all our staff who have been working hard to support clients from remote locations. Mobile Guardian has an exciting future."

"It is largely unprecedented for a start-up to sign such significant credit facilities with institutional partners. That we’ve been able to do so is a powerful endorsement of our business proposition and the brand that Free2 plans to develop."

"StaffCircle clearly has tremendous potential and we’re delighted to be backing it at such an early stage."

"There has always been an element of awkwardness when trying to gather money from friends for expensive group bookings – we wanted to introduce a platform that would remove the burden from individuals and make their lives easier. As we move closer towards a cashless society, we believe that exchanging money between friends and family should be a completely seamless process, which is why the average Collctiv transaction takes only 10 seconds."

"The COVID-19 outbreak has highlighted possible risks to human health from the environment and governments now want to test for bacterial contamination in water and other materials. However, our technology also allows fast detection of bacterial pathogens in fresh food produce, so our technology could significantly decrease the holding time of fresh food before it is released to supermarkets. This will increase the supply of fresh produce to supermarkets, which is especially critical at times of crisis, and support customer faith in the safety of the products."
