The credit score fintech raised the capital from existing investors in the UK and the US.
"The number of people ‘just about managing’ with their finances is on the rise and millions are still underserved by the financial sector. We believe that people’s financial data should work for them, not against them. Our service provides our customers with the tools they need to understand their credit score and unlock more opportunities. Central to that is addressing a credit market that is not fit for purpose, and there is huge potential if we can collaborate across the industry to get that right. We’re excited about the next stage of this mission and delivering for our customers."
The pre seed round was co led by Techstart Ventures and Nauta Capital to support team expansion and platform development.
"We are thrilled with the opportunities this investment creates to develop Lupovis’ dynamic deception capabilities. Our system uses artificial intelligence to create scenarios which mirror the existing infrastructure of an organisation and engages the attacker into believing they are progressing towards assets of value, turning networks from a flock of sheep to a pack of wolves. We are in a unique position where we have unrivalled data on attacker techniques, methods and behaviour. We will feed this data into our platform, so our customers will always remain one step ahead of attackers, predicting their next move, long before they actually make it."
The financing round was led by First Capital Ventures with participation from existing investors.
"We are delighted to welcome First Capital Ventures as our latest and first U.S. investor alongside the continued commitment from our existing investor base."
The student task app raised the seven-figure sum from angel investors to expand its operations and technology.
"Since we officially launched UniTaskr in September 2019, both Oliver and I have worked hard to create a platform that successfully bridges the gap between students and businesses, whilst providing the opportunity for students to gain valuable, paid work experience that will increase their chances of securing a desired and relevant job role once they've graduated. By increasing our reach over the last 18 months, we have significantly scaled our membership by 5354% and have established an exciting, new revenue stream in SHOUT, which has propelled our growth and enabled us to deliver effective student marketing campaigns for leading brands worldwide."
