The funding will support service enhancement and customer scaling for the gig economy platform.

"Too many freelance platforms are designed to keep people dependent, distracted, and paying fees just to stay visible. We built Shoutt to flip that dynamic. Our goal is to give freelancers back control over their time, their income, and the work they choose to take on. This funding, which we are delighted to have secured, lets us keep building the infrastructure freelancers actually need to run independent, sustainable businesses on their own terms."
— Saleem Yaqub, CEO
Series A
£22.4M

Five Elms Capital led the Series A round to support international growth and AI product development.

"Spa and leisure operators are facing increasingly complex operations, payments, and guest-experience challenges. Legacy systems simply haven’t kept up. We built Trybe to give operators a flexible, modern operating system that maximizes revenue, reduces friction, and unlocks exceptional guest experiences. As we look ahead, we see meaningful opportunities to introduce AI-assisted scheduling, forecasting, and personalization into the platform, capabilities that will further streamline operations and capture revenue previously lost to manual inefficiencies. Partnering with Five Elms allows us to accelerate this roadmap and deliver even more value to our customers."

"Enterprises have brilliant engineers spending the majority of their time maintaining the past instead of inventing what’s next. AppFactor changes that by turning software upkeep into an autonomous, closed-loop process. With the AppFactor Agentic Orchestration Platform handling maintenance, teams move much faster on the initiatives that grow the business."
— Keith Neilson, CEO and Co-founder
