Moonfire Ventures led the pre-seed round, with funds allocated to recruitment, product development, and international expansion.
"Mental health has been an overlooked area of care and wellbeing, especially in the workplace. Oliva’s founders are the only team we’ve seen taking a holistic, impact-driven approach to supporting mental health. While employer-funded mental health is becoming a well established model in the US, Oliva is the first to bring a truly comprehensive approach to UK and European businesses. Oliva has already built a strong value proposition, team and product to create a new model for mental healthcare in the UK, Europe and beyond."
VNV Global led the Series A round to support international expansion and product development.
"We are delighted to be partnering with Collectiv to help achieve our sustainability objectives, whilst also delivering material savings. Their innovative approach to supply chain fits well with our vision to be London’s leading boutique restaurant group and enables us to meet the growing customer demand for greater quality and traceability."
The financing round was led by Oxford Sciences Innovation to support the company in expanding its peptide discovery operations.
"Orbit’s team has the right combination of scientific rigor and novel peptide technologies to lead a new generation of drug development, and we look forward to partnering with the team to advance their mission,"
The seed round was led by IQ Capital and Playfair Capital to support the public launch of the secure messaging platform.
"I am beyond excited to announce today’s news of funding from such a high calibre of investors in the cyber space. There is much anticipation to open up Worldr fully this summer, following its beta trials earlier this year. We will offer a truly private-by-design team communication tool without sacrificing usability. At the same time, we’ve seen an unprecedented demand for our end-to-end encryption ‘wrapper’ for Microsoft Teams, much of which has been on the back of security questions around remote working and the meteoric rise of Teams as a platform itself. Working with our investors, we are hitting the ground running and investing in our substantial roadmap of zero-trust solutions for the Enterprise."
Arete Capital Partners led a multi-million-pound investment to help Vivify scale its operations and increase its network of partner schools.
"It’s exciting for us to work with an entrepreneurial management team who have developed technical differentiation via Vivify’s booking platform to put schools right at the heart of its business model. The social and health benefits sit naturally alongside the economic benefits to schools and the surrounding area. We are looking forward to adding value to Vivify with our existing knowledge of scaling similar types of businesses and helping them to grow the market and all the social and economic benefits that brings."
