Funding Announcements

"The UK alone spends £3.1bn on treating chronic wounds each year, while the US spends $50bn. Add to this the significant escalation in costs, not to mention the considerable distress to patients and families if the only course of treatment for non-healing wounds is amputation. It’s clear that there’s a real need for innovation in this area."

"It’s been a mammoth journey for us so far, and we’re so encouraged and motivated with the titans of tech backing us, much moreso than just funding alone, but in strategic advice and vision."

"There are six million self-employed workers in the UK, which includes both higher-paid freelancers and gig economy platform workers. Yet, neither group typically has a safety net – no holiday pay, no family leave, no mental health support, not even paid sick days. We are building Collective Benefits so that the gig economy workers are covered by the same protections typically reserved for full-time employees."

"This round of investment reflects the interest in the opportunity to change the way a very traditional industry has worked for many years. Our mission is to reinvent the way we shop for engagement rings and how we celebrate the sentiment of love through jewellery by removing the stress and barriers and making it fun and joyful again. In Western society, we’ve been seeded with the idea that we‘re obliged to spend a huge amount of money on engagement rings and that only a diamond will do."

"Our goal as Second Nature is to solve obesity. We need to rise above the confusing health misinformation to provide clarity about what’s really important: changing habits. Our new brand and investment will help us realise that,"
