Flexa raises £250k in pre-seed funding led by QVentures to scale its flexible working platform
The pre-seed round was led by QVentures with participation from angel investors including Simon Franks and Douglas Choi.
Flexa operates a transparent hiring platform that vets and verifies flexible working policies for job seekers. The company enables organisations to showcase their working environments and helps candidates discover verified roles.
Flexa has secured £250k in pre-seed funding to scale its flexible working platform. The investment round was led by QVentures, with additional participation from angel investors Simon Franks and Douglas Choi, alongside other international and domestic backers.
The proceeds will be directed towards scaling the company and driving expansion across the UK and Ireland through candidate acquisition and company verification. The business launched earlier this year to address the rising demand for genuinely flexible employment options.
From the founder
"I was let go from a previous role because I needed to work from home occasionally in order to accommodate my autoimmune disease. The fact that candidates do not know whether they will be able to work in a way that works for them is unacceptable. We are on a mission to bring a more flexible, inclusive way of working to as many people as we possibly can."
Molly Johnson-Jones
CEO at Flexa
Investor perspective
"Having first met with the team at Flexa a year ago, we’ve seen first hand the drive they have in connecting job seekers with truly flexible employers in the rapidly evolving office environment. A testament to this has been the companies that Molly and Maurice have brought on board and the glowing reviews they’ve received so far. With this investment, we’re confident that the team at Flexa will be able to better serve both job seekers and companies, in these challenging times where companies look to see how they can effectively recruit and employ best practices to manage a remote workforce."
