Air Street Capital led the Series A round with participation from Madrona and Antler.
"The next leap in hiring will not come from better searches over the same resumes or more automated outreach. It will come from putting an agent on both sides of the table and making the introduction only when both sides would take the call"
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 Enlightened Hospitality Investments and accompanies a global partnership with Shake Shack.
"I have always believed that Enlightened Hospitality – the ethos that when you take care of your people, your people take care of your customers – is how to create sustaining success in any business"
The Manchester-based startup has secured backing from DSW Ventures to further develop its AI agent platform.
"Nexco.ai has a compelling combination of a strong founding team, a well-defined market and a product that is already generating commercial interest. This makes Nexco.ai a truly exciting opportunity, and we’re thrilled to be backing the team at this early stage."
The oversubscribed funding round was led by Portage Ventures with participation from F Capital and existing investors.
"Happl began with a simple belief: benefits should be easy to understand, easy to manage and easy to implement. What we’ve built goes far beyond that, a global platform that removes complexity at scale and connects employees with solutions that truly reflect their needs."
Andreessen Horowitz led the Series A round to support product development and network growth.

Ethos helps people to see the full shape of their expertise and where it fits in an AI-transformed economy – acting as their agent, opening doors they didn’t know existed, and giving companies a far more precise way to find the people they actually need. AI is reshaping the labour market faster than our tools for valuing human expertise can keep up. Ethos is built to change that,"
