Nova Growth Capital backed the all-female founding team to support platform development and marketing.
"We’re delighted to have received investment from Nova and are keen to get started building our platform and promoting the fantastic authors we have waiting in the wings. I’ve worked in this sector for many years and one of the biggest problems is quality of content and fairness of pay for authors. Our platform promises to solve these issues by editing content before publication and paying authors fairly for their work."
The London-based conversational AI provider has secured an initial seed investment to fund international expansion and product development.
"OpenDialog will finally enable businesses and consumers to realize the game-changing potential of conversational AI – moving beyond the often painful experiences delivered by current chatbots and AI assistants. The market has been crying out for a solution like this, one that not only drives real operational efficiencies but also enhances and joins up customer experience across a wide range of channels."
Leafy Tunnel led the Series A round to fund expansion into multiple European markets.
"It was critical for Lyphe to raise enough funds to execute on our scale-up plans and be in control of our destiny. We are fortunate to be leaders in our primary market with a very clear growth plan, and as such we have attracted the very best investors into this round from US, Europe and UK. Leafy Tunnel sees us step into venture capital, and we are honoured to have them on the cap table and supporting our vision for international growth, alongside Sharp Capital and all other new and old shareholders."
The fintech start-up has secured backing for its digital boat finance platform ahead of an autumn product launch.
"Currently boat finance is somewhat broken with relatively few funders to choose from and limited options that encourage clients to actively proceed. Add to this the painfully slow decision times and overall difficulty tracking applications, it is clear the entire process has become both time-consuming and frustrating. At SALT we offer an exclusive one stop boat shop with seamless engagement throughout the purchase journey, plus the provision of full support for insurance, warranty, moorings or service contracts whilst delivering unrivalled convenience for sailors."
