Construction procurement platform C-Link secures a six-figure seed investment from NorthInvest angels to drive software development and sales growth.
Private angel investors associated with NorthInvest backed the property tech start-up in its latest funding round.
C-Link operates an e-procurement platform that connects property developers and SME construction firms with subcontractors while automating administrative tasks.
C-Link has secured a six-figure seed investment from private angel backers through the investment network NorthInvest. The funds will be directed towards further software development and accelerating sales growth.
Operating in an established sector, the start-up provides an e-procurement platform designed to automate low-value tasks for SME construction companies and developers. The business has achieved notable traction, having managed over £100m worth of projects on its platform earlier in the year despite wider market uncertainty.
The latest financing involves angels Steve Secker and Ian Stark, with legal advice provided by Gordons LLP. The injection of capital marks a significant milestone as the company continues to modernise administrative workflows in the construction industry.
From the founder
"Construction is an archaic industry that needs change. Having managed teams of quantity surveyors responsible for £200 million worth of flagship projects, I understand first-hand the need to free up time lost on admin-intensive tasks. Over the past few years our small team has built software that has transformed the way SME property developers and main contractors manage construction procurement."
Paul Heming
Co-Founder at C-Link
Investor perspective
"C-Link has the potential to revolutionise the way developers, main contractors and subcontractors interact on projects.The construction industry desperately needs to improve the efficiencies in the procurement process. This is recognised at a government level and C-Link offers a sophisticated solution that has the potential to be universally adopted. I look forward to being part of C-Link’s progress and supporting the business moving forward."
