"The next generation won’t browse static listings the way their parents did—they’ll discover and buy through video, conversation, and live interaction, across every category"
Most rounds here started life as a press release.
Winfred reads them overnight, pulls out the facts, checks them against Companies House and files them. It was built by C8VA, who do the same kind of work for other businesses: turning messy, unstructured material into something you can search, count and rely on.
The funding round was led by Mercia Ventures with participation from Techstart Ventures and angel investors.
"Corporate gifting is a trillion-dollar industry that spent decades normalising mediocrity because no one built a competitively viable alternative. We started Go Swag with less than £200 and the belief that every gift a company puts its name on either strengthens the brand or quietly undermines it. This funding allows us to take this conviction global, beginning with a major US market expansion. The catalogue is dead and we’re replacing it with smart AI-assisted curation and a better gifting process to match."
YFM Equity Partners has backed Exeter-based Shopify agency Swanky with a £7.6m investment.
The County Antrim-based luxury gifting brand has secured its first equity funding round to scale operations and expand into new markets.
"Growing The Present Tree from an ambitious idea to the thriving business we see today has been an incredible journey. I am so proud of our team who have shown such devotion to the business and always ensure every tree gift we send carries the spark of love and meaning that is at the heart of The Present Tree."
The Liverpool City Region technology platform raised £2.4m led by NPIF II, PXN Equity Finance to double its headcount and scale internationally.
"Too many brands are only looking at page views, time on site and clicks as their go-to metrics without tapping into their customers’ level of intent, leading to missed opportunities. Intent data not only reveals each visitor’s mindset, but because it updates as they shop, it lets you deliver experiences right at the optimal moments."
