The music themed gaming service secured its target with backing from crowd investors and Midven.
"SoshiGames definitely had the X Factor for our crowd, and we’re delighted to be part of the Soshi Story! With the music industry seeing growth in live performances, digital streaming and merchandise, partnering this with the burgeoning mobile gaming industry is surely a match made in heaven. We were really excited to offer this opportunity to our crowd, allowing them to invest alongside Soshi’s existing funders; highly-regarded VC firm Midven."
Midven backed the Stoke-on-Trent creator of the ImPress crafting machine through its Early Advantage fund.
"The machine was quickly tailored specifically for the needs of the serious hobby crafter – it is multi-functional, robust and reliable, compact and affordable. We always knew we had a good product and our early sales success proved there is a market. This investment from Midven and private investors will give us the opportunity to grow the company, create jobs and continue to serve our enthusiastic customers."
Business Growth Fund has provided growth capital to back the Scottish toiletries manufacturer.
"Everyone working at Arran Aromatics is deeply passionate about the brand and incredibly proud of its global recognition. After the hard work by all of our employees over the past four years, there is a new confidence in the business. BGF’s growth capital investment will go towards brand development, upgrading our IT infrastructure, investing in our retail estate and allow for a significant investment in our e-commerce capabilities to drive our online business."
BGF has backed the low-cost gym chain with a £5m investment to support its expansion across the UK.
"BGF’s funding will give us the financial and operational facilities to continue our expansion at a key time for the market and we look forward to working with Richard and the team over the coming years."
