The mobility app has raised £1.5m to support its roadmap and overseas expansion plans.
"What resonates with investors is not just the initial premise of the business and how it can appeal to all demographics, but also our ability to refocus during the pandemic. From the fact we are the first carbon-negative lift-sharing app to identifying the need for Errands to getting it up and running so quickly, is why we have been so successful in our funding."
Mobeus extends its backing of the London-based software provider with fresh capital and board appointments.
"for:sight’s successful application to Making Tax Digital has driven growth to date. Strong demand for further functionality from our client base is propelling innovation and this additional funding from Mobeus will allow us to unlock that growth more quickly by overcoming the challenges faced by finance leaders."
