The London-based sustainable toothbrush developer has raised funding to scale its team and retail presence.
"We’re delighted to have the backing from Hambro Perks and JamJar Investments. Their unique expertise and support will enable SURI’s growth to progress from a high potential alternative on the market to a modern industry disruptor, which we feel is sorely lacking in the oral care space"
The crowdfunding campaign was backed by over 280 investors and featured lead participation from University of East Anglia Enterprise Fund and Capital Pilot Boost Fund.
"It’s time to shake things up. We know people want to buy from better places, but right now it’s too hard. After working for Greenpeace for the better half of a decade as a speaker and fundraiser, people kept telling me: ‘I want to buy more sustainably but I don’t know where to go.’"
Clean Growth Fund and Barclays led the Series A investment to support the commercialisation of industrial carbon capture solutions.
"Given the challenges facing industries like cement and steel to cut their CO₂ emissions and their energy use, we are excited about the massive potential for MOF Tech across the world. With our investment, alongside the commercialisation support that we offer to all of the companies in our investment portfolio, I’m confident that MOF Tech can quickly become a sought-after technology provider to heavy industries across the world who need to decarbonise as a matter of urgency."
Collaborative Fund and Fine Structure Ventures led the round to support the scale up of cultivated fat manufacturing.
"At Hoxton Farms, we are obsessed with fat. Fat is the single most important sensory component in all of the meat that we eat. Using cultivated fat alongside plant proteins, we have shown that we can make products with the juiciness and flavour that plant-based meat has been missing. We’re now building our pilot plant in central London so that we can show visitors a new way of making the same delicious meat."
The pre-seed funding round was backed by K+U Ventures and individual investors via Seedrs.
"Industries that are difficult to decarbonise, such as manufacturing and heavy industry, are often overlooked. These industries need an easier way of monitoring, measuring and reducing their carbon footprint. At EcoHedge, we believe that companies of all sizes should be able to simply and efficiently track their carbon emissions and this is where EcoHedge comes in. We want to make it as straightforward as possible for these businesses to become climate leaders."
