The Belfast-based software maker has raised £1.3m from backers including Creative UK and angel investors.
"Building on our reputation of working internationally on creative interventions with public bodies, Polyloop will be global from the outset, looking to transform the way governments tackle projects and manage outcomes."
The platform raised capital from nearly 250 angel investors and family offices to support its collaborative investment infrastructure.
"I think we are missing a huge opportunity by leaving the power to decide what companies get built in the hands of so few people. It means you end up building stuff that just isn’t aligned with our needs. Over the next 20 years or so, technology is going to revolutionise energy, healthcare, education, finance, food production…basically any industry you can think of. It’s a huge opportunity, and there’s a lot to be excited about!"
The Dublin and Munich-based e-mobility company secured the backing of InfraRed Capital Partners to roll out charging stations across Europe and North America.
"With InfraRed, JOLT has found a financing partner who supports the establishment of a forward-looking infrastructure and paves the way for the crucial change in e-mobility. Our ultra-fast charging stations equipped with powerful battery storage are the missing link in accelerating the energy and transport transition in cities. Ultra-fast charging systems are the key to unlocking the potential of EVs for city residents."
The oversubscribed round was backed by investors including Specialist VC and Superangel to accelerate growth.
"We are delighted to have excellent investors backing our growth. The facts speak for themselves: in March, Swiss Re estimated that in 2021 natural catastrophes resulted in economic losses of $270 billion, of which $111 billion were insured losses. That is a big protection gap. We are now able to provide a new and scalable way to make risks and opportunities quantifiable that the insurance market needs to manage and absorb future risks."
The Norwich-based walking platform has secured backing from Anglia Capital Group members and private investors including Peter Roberts.
"We were delighted to see Treekly secure investment through our group. Anglia Capital Group are committed to supporting local businesses to grow and thrive. Treekly are a fantastic example of a Norwich-based company with a big vision, not just for their business but for the world and we wish them well on their journey"
