"KYND has developed an industry-leading platform that provides actionable insights on cyber risk posture. The business has demonstrated impressive growth and this new investment demonstrates our belief in the long-term potential of the company as it continues to scale."
The funding round was backed by Mercia Ventures, Northstar Ventures, and the North East Venture Fund.
"The support from our investors has allowed us to grow the business to the point where we now work with over 100 customers internationally including large pharma and biotech companies. This latest investment will further enhance our technology and underpin our ability to continue our rapid growth."
The pre-seed round was led by Creator Fund and will support the development of B2B construction information management products.
"Our mission at Didimi is to transform the way information is exchanged and managed across construction stakeholders. When architects and engineers exchange models in the current format, huge information loss occurs due to the fundamental interoperability problems in the industry, leading to time waste and mistakes. The Didimi platform is our ambitious answer to this problem. We are extremely grateful to have found the right investors that can back us in this vision and help us change these antiquated practices in the industry."
