Arbolus secures £4.4m Series A investment led by Fuel Ventures to scale its expert platform
Fuel Ventures led the Series A round to help the expert knowledge platform scale its operations.
Arbolus operates an expert insights platform that provides investors and consultants with research and diligence tools. The firm offers products including asynchronous video questions and proprietary B2B customer databases.
Arbolus has secured £4.4m in a Series A funding round led by Fuel Ventures, with participation from Plug and Play. The three-year-old technology startup plans to use the capital to scale its platform for large enterprises, consultancies, and investment firms.
The company has experienced rapid expansion, growing sevenfold year-on-year and establishing new offices in Barcelona and New York. The fresh funding will support ongoing product development and help expand its operations in the United States as it pursues its longer-term growth targets.
From the founder
"Having the right information gives you a competitive edge but the typical means of engaging with experts through one hour calls alone is failing to deliver value. These interviews are usually held by a single department and their findings end up lost in PowerPoint presentations or reports. Therefore, companies are only building up a short-term view. We are bringing innovation to the ways companies are working with external experts by using groundbreaking technology to, not just build expertise within organizations, but deliver it in ways that are digestible, searchable and, most importantly, usable for the months and years ahead across different departments."
Sam Glasswell
CEO and co-founder at Arbolus
Investor perspective
"Arbolus have done amazing things in its first 24 months and it’s a testament to the entrepreneurial ambition of Sam and Will backed up by their experience of helping to scale a $1bn company in their former lives. We want to foster the innovation and disruption Arbolous is bringing to an old-fashioned industry and be the leaders in connecting the dots between the expert used and the information they provide."
