The pre-seed round was led by angel investor Ying Tan to support the growth of the property transparency platform.
"I really admire what Ying has accomplished in the mortgage intermediary sector, and his knowledge of both the mortgage and property markets will be a huge asset to Propflo. When discussing the opportunity with him I felt that our values aligned and we could work very well together to build a great business. I’m also delighted that Robin has also participated in the round; his advice in previous proptech ventures proved invaluable."
The Series A round was led by Target Global to fuel international expansion and team growth.
"Our bold ambition is to make payroll invisible. We believe that 10 years from now, 'payroll software' will be eliminated from the dictionaries. Invisible payroll will be a crucial element across broader platforms and thanks to our vision, we will be at the forefront of this new trend. We are also extremely pleased to have investors like Target Global join us in carrying out this vision and helping us shape the future of payroll together."
Element Ventures led the Series A round with participation from Fuel Ventures and Silicon Valley Bank.
"The traditional model for knowledge sharing lacks innovation and is cost prohibitive to scale. At Arbolus we’re building a platform that breaks that framework and gives professionals more autonomy. We are driven by the mission of making the world’s offline knowledge digitally accessible to a much wider customer base. We want to index the world’s human knowledge and make that widely searchable for the first time"
The equity and debt round was backed by Force Over Mass, PostFinance, 1818 Venture Capital, and Tribe Capital to fund increased lending volumes.
"Our ambition is for Outfund to be the place to go to grow your business, without compromising your equity or wasting time fundraising. This is why we have spent time developing a way to make the process of securing money for growth easier, fairer and, most importantly, faster. Our approach has been warmly received by the founders and directors so far, and now we’re looking at how we can open this up to more businesses and continue to be part of their journey to success for a long time."
The Series A round was led by Hoxton Ventures with backing from notable tech entrepreneurs.
"My story – and Juno’s raison d’etre – will sound all-too-familiar to many. When I started my career as a Growth Manager for startups, long hours and ‘hustle culture’ left me feeling burnt out. The loss of a family member finally broke me and the thing I needed the most at that time was genuine wellbeing support in place of the alcohol-fuelled socials and awkward team yoga I was offered by HR. But I should have known not to expect too much from superficial ‘perks’ systems that fail to consider peoples’ actual needs."
