Jenson Funding Partners backed the pre-seed round to help the digital coaching startup expand its market presence and enhance product development.
"In my previous career, I concluded that one-off training isn’t enough to help people upskill. To become successful, young professionals really need a buddy to coach them through their daily activities and monitor their learning to really change them for good. With AI, we’ve been able to create this mentoring personal assistant that is affordable and can be with users all the time."
The pre-seed round was backed by the MEIF Proof of Concept and Early Stage Fund alongside private investors to support team expansion and product development.
"Co-living offers a positive lifestyle choice for many people living alone or struggling to afford their own home. By making house sharing easier to manage for both landlords and tenants, COHO aims to bring it to the mainstream. The support of our investors will enable us to move forward at a much faster pace to achieve our ambition of making shared living more accessible to both property investors and tenants, and become the Airbnb of house shares."
Seedcamp led the oversubscribed round alongside existing investors IQ Capital and Playfair Capital.
"Our studio has naturally wanted to transition over the years into being worldbuilding-led so it could not be better timing seeing a new audience emerge that is looking for immersive game-like experiences where they own parts of the universes they love. At Cauldron we have a history of working in markets where we know our art and emotive storytelling can have a dramatic impact and we are seeing the rising base of Web3 players yearning for more."
The pre-seed round was provided by Jenson Funding Partners to support team expansion and new game titles.
"The gaming sector has consistently grown in recent years and the pandemic escalated the lucrative investment opportunities present in the industry. Esports presents a huge opportunity and innovative businesses such as SwiftSkill are driving the growth of the industry. SwiftSkill creates an opportunity for aspiring gamers to become professionals, honing their skills in the same way that traditional athletes compete."
The pre-seed round was led by Antler to fund product development, team expansion, and international growth.
"People want help but they just don’t know where to get it – the internet is a minefield of bad advice so we make parenting that little bit easier by democratising access to hundreds of experts. From humble beginnings brainstorming around my kitchen table, we are now seeing a fast uptake of experts and users worldwide with an average growth of 88% month on month. Our goal is to help as many families as we can, at whatever life stage they are at. With the launch of the app, we hope to bring this even closer to reality. The positive feedback received from our community is why we’re doing this!"
