As such it was important, we found a partner who shared our vision within financial services. We believe that Toscafund’s global expertise and impressive market connectivity will be of tremendous benefit to VoxSmart in our next stage of growth."
Guinness Asset Management led the Series A round to support product development and team expansion.
"We are delighted to welcome Guinness to the Neighbourly team and for Ashley to join us on the board. He immediately understood the Neighbourly proposition and the value it delivers for businesses and local good causes alike, against the backdrop of the rapidly evolving ESG landscape. Our strong belief is that businesses must prioritise the proven power of local good causes, who are the backbone of our communities. A thriving community and resilient population of hyper-local causes is vital to the success of both society and the economy."
