The investment was led by Nauta Capital with participation from Mercia.
"We are pleased to be able to advise Mercia on this further funding round after their initial investment. We have a longstanding working relationship with Mercia and over that time we have seen first-hand their ability to pick companies with good potential for scale-up, and BlackCurve’s success demonstrates that ability to spot prospects with real promise."
The Cardiff-based subscription service exceeded its target by 154% and welcomed Pontus Noren to its board.
"To have so many people willing to invest their hard-earned cash on our company is amazing and to welcome investors of the calibre of Pontus to the board has been phenomenal."
