A syndicate of members from Angel Academe has backed the renewable energy investment platform.
"We started with a simple idea – to link communities and individuals with Renewable Energy Projects and make it possible for everyone to share in the benefits of clean energy production."
Balderton Capital led the £5m round with a £3.8m investment to support domestic and international growth.
"We’re delighted to secure growth finance from such a renowned VC who will undoubtedly add tremendous value both strategically and operationally. We’ve built a pioneering and award-winning service over the last few years. This investment, alongside the crowd, puts us in an even stronger position to provide essential growth finance for businesses and inspire a new generation of investors."
The investment was backed by Midven through its Early Advantage fund.
"In addition to the venture capital backing, Midven also brings advice and experience to help us grow the organisation to the next level. We have already undertaken a number of changes as a result of this relationship and have a clear vision of where we want to get to, how we’re going to get there and we now have the funding in place to be able to do so."
The funding round was led by Pentland Group to support the company's rapid growth.
"The home cleaning industry is very antiquated, with no provider offering both strong customer service and top quality cleaning. We took time to understand exactly what customers want and, to be totally sure, I've cleaned nearly 100 homes myself in the 'housekeeper' role! That experience was incredibly valuable and has guided how we recruit, train and supervise our housekeepers. We have had fantastic customer feedback so far, but know that scaling this high quality will be the key to building a great business. We are delighted to have such a strong investor group involved and they know we will be drawing on their expertise to help us grow the business rapidly."
Smedvig Capital backs London home rental specialist with growth capital.
"We have been impressed by the rapid growth of Vive Unique, and the outstanding level of service delivered to both homeowners and guests. Following our previous investments in Streetcar and Zipcar, we are excited to be backing another business within the rapidly growing collaborative consumption space. We look forward to working with Jonny and Claire to reach their goal of becoming the number one short let and holiday rental provider in London."
