GC Angels led the pre-seed round alongside One Planet Capital and angel investors to help CRESS expand its uniform platform.
"We are joining sustainability with affordability, supporting schools to sell pre-loved uniforms through an online, customer-friendly platform. Our model helps parents save money, supports schools with vital funding, and reduces waste and carbon emissions – all whilst making sure no perfectly good uniform item goes to waste. By encouraging donations of pre-loved uniforms, we’re not only helping families, but we’re also reducing the environmental impact of school clothing waste. The UK sends thousands of school uniform items to landfill or incineration every year, but with CRESS, we can decrease this waste, provide children with books and plant trees all in one go. We’re so passionate about making a difference, and we’re really grateful to Ranvir and GC Angels for their support. By introducing us to the likes of GMCA and Carma, along with their financial investment, GC Angels is helping to propel CRESS into our next stage of growth. This will mean we can support even more schools across not only Greater Manchester, but also country wide."
Redalpine led the pre-seed round to help the startup bring its wearable hormone sensors to market and expand its team.
"We did it for blood pressure and will do it again for hormones. Continuous hormone measurement is one of the holy grails of diagnostics, and as fundamental science transitions to engineering, we couldn’t be more excited to back Level Zero Health in their mission to transform hormone tracking with their novel biosensor – paving the way for a new era of personalized health management."
The pre-seed round was led by Fusion Fund to help expand operations into the United States.
"We are incredibly privileged to have Fusion Fund as our lead investor and are truly humbled by their belief in our vision. This partnership marks an exciting opportunity to expand into the US market and scale globally together. We are deeply committed to redefining safety in autonomous systems, and it’s inspiring to have a partner like Fusion Fund share our confidence in what we’re building."
