Lightbird Ventures led the pre-seed round, which will fund team expansion as the company addresses strong demand from enterprise clients.
"We’re very excited to announce this new funding as we embark on the next stage of our growth journey. Having personally experienced the pains of designing and personalising countless sales assets and navigating complex buyer journeys throughout my career, I’m confident trumpet is the answer to these industry-wide problems. The platform provides salespeople with a no-code solution to create live, centralised and personalised microsites which can be used across the entire sales cycle. This seamless experience speeds up, and optimises buyer journeys whilst reducing the growing amount of admin salespeople are faced with. Covid-19 accelerated digital transformation like never before and we are well-positioned to provide the perfect tool to help stimulate a digital shift in B2B sales and the initial data coming out of the Beta is extremely exciting."
The pre-seed investment was led by Kevin Beales and will fund platform development and community growth.
"I built Grid Finder to solve a problem for what I thought was a relatively niche group of sim racers I’d been racing with online. 6 months later, over 1000 esports communities had listed themselves on Grid Finder and I realised this was a real opportunity to build a useful suite of tools that solves problems for over 1.8 million sim racers and hundreds of millions of casual online racers worldwide."
The Web3 advisory joint venture has secured pre-seed backing from Coinbase Ventures, Liberty City Ventures, and Digital Currency Group to scale its operations.
"Digital assets offer huge potential for brands to engage with their communities in a new way, and for talent to realise the true value from their work for the first time. But many brands are just starting to understand this."
The hospitality tech startup raised the capital from its extended network, led by Mark Gordon, bringing total funding to £1.3m.
"The concept of Ambl was something I could easily relate to. There was no doubt in my mind, it was a great idea, however, I could see some challenges they would have to overcome with venue adoption and of course the usual pitfalls that exist such as developing succinct messaging when educating consumers in a new marketplace."
