Funding Announcements

"More than 1,500 structured funding applications have gone through ThatRound’s matching workflow. Of the deals our AI engine surfaces to investors, two in three result in an intro request. And every single founder whose application doesn’t progress receives specific feedback on why — on fit, not a standard rejection. That second part shouldn’t feel remarkable, but in early-stage fundraising, it does. The fact that founders find that level of transparency unusual tells you everything about how the market has been working until now."

"My co-founder Matt and I spent the last year walking the streets of London, sitting down and talking first hand with gym owners and managers to understand what is missing in the industry, and if SPORTL could be the answer. Seeing SPORTL launch today and physically opening the app is a dream come true. Our mission is to work alongside gym owners, giving them the flexibility and transparency they deserve from a booking platform. We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built, and we can’t wait for SPORTL to become part of people’s everyday routines, helping them book classes on their terms, whenever it suits them."

"Securing investment from Susie is a huge moment for us and for Cubbi. We built this platform because we lived the reality of trying to make maternity pay stretch while still wanting to give our children the best start in life. This backing means we can reach more parents, bring more meaningful savings onto the platform and continue building something that genuinely supports families at a time when they’re under so much financial pressure. Standing in the Den and pitching Cubbi while pregnant was incredibly personal for me. Parenthood is one of the most joyful but financially vulnerable stages of life, and having that recognised and backed on such a big platform meant so much. This investment allows us to turn that recognition into real, practical support for thousands more families."
