Ingenii VC and Pembroke VCT provide follow on funding to support the rollout of Ryft's unified omnichannel payment infrastructure.
"Since launching our automated online payment solutions, we’ve had repeated calls to bring the same simplicity and speed to integrated payments. Businesses processing both in-person and online payments – whether they’re marketplaces, franchises, or acquirers – have lacked a truly competitive solution, leaving too many relying on cumbersome and unnecessarily complicated end-of-month reconciliations and reporting. With the launch of our omni-channel payment platform, Ryft will enable businesses operating online and in-store to efficiently process, manage, and monetise payments at scale in a secure and compliant way. In turn, allowing them to maximise the value of every transaction."
The funding round was led by Gresham House Ventures alongside growth lending from Palatine Growth Credit.
"This follow-on investment is a huge vote of confidence in our platform and our strategy. Retailers and brands need flexible, future-proof infrastructure to stay competitive, and Patchworks gives them the power and speed they need. We’re doubling down on the US market, scaling our partner ecosystem, and continuing to enhance the platform with AI and other innovations so our customers can connect, adapt and grow faster."
Christian Angermayer backs the influencer marketing platform as it launches in New York.
"Invyted is one of the most exciting early-stage companies I’ve seen in a long time… Asti Wagner is building something truly unique that sits at the intersection of tech, community, and culture. We’re thrilled to be backing her and the Invyted team as they scale globally."
The funding round was backed by Arāya Ventures and accompanies an expansion into 737 Boots stores nationwide.
"Women’s health has been sidelined for far too long. At Unfabled, we’ve shown that when you truly listen to women, you don’t just create better products – you create a movement. Boots expanding our footprint by over 1000% proves that women’s health is no longer niche. We’re proud to be building a brand, a community, and a category that retailers and investors can no longer ignore."
