"We have been very impressed by the progress that HubBox has made to date and the global scale up potential of the product. Sam Jarvis, CEO, and the team have worked closely with the major global delivery networks to provide this software solution to the market, something that we believe has the potential to address the growing problem of increasing last mile cost and inefficiencies. Whilst the product itself is far from simple, we were attracted to the very clear use cases, the lack of true competition and the enormous underserved end market."

"The scale and speed at which harmful content can spread across social networks and the internet is only growing. Online platforms can’t handle the complexity of moderating these billions of daily images, videos and other posts, whilst human moderation has proven to be ineffective at dealing with the volume of content as well as being largely harmful to those involved. At Unitary, we’re committed to making the internet a safer place for everyone and with the support of investors like Plural, who understand the complexity of developing and scaling deep tech, we can see a clear route to making an impact on this snowballing problem that affects us all."
The oversubscribed round included backing from Molten Ventures, Morningside, DCVC, Cambridge Consultants, Civilization Ventures and Providence.
