The funding values the Sheffield based manufacturing technology spin out at £2m.
"We could not have asked for a better start; this six-figure investment puts us on track to refine and develop our technology in time for the launch of our next product in the spring – a plug and play device that unlocks step changes in productivity for British manufacturers, supporting a rapid post-Covid recovery and keeping the UK’s exporters truly competitive in the global marketplace."
BGF has backed Lancashire logistics technology company fulfilmentcrowd with a £7.5m growth equity investment.
"We’ve extended our footprint considerably over the last 12 months and we’re well positioned to respond to the extraordinary levels of demand because our proprietary technology platform is able to scale and satisfy changing market dynamics."
Hindustan Media Ventures led the £1m seed round alongside crowdfunding and angel support to fund international expansion and product development.
"We’re delighted with the outcome of our fundraising efforts. Wurkr is emerging as a start-up success story, as we worked to expand during the pandemic crisis in an economically challenging landscape. Since our launch, we were able to develop the business without government grants, and this seed funding round helps to position us strongly for the next phase of our growth strategy. The incredibly high calibre of our investors is testament to the very real and needed solution that Wurkr’s platform brings to the market."
