Here We Flo has raised £1.7m in an angel funding round supported by Angel Investment Network. The capital will support team expansion in the UK and the US alongside marketing initiatives and working capital.

Founded by university friends Susan Allen and Tara Chandra, the business operates with a feminist ethos and allocates five percent of its profits to social and environmental causes.
From the founder
"We are delighted angel investors have backed our business supporting life’s messiest moments! We’re challenging industries that have relied for too long on synthetic fibres, petroleum plastics, pesticide and harsh chemical residues. Our sustainable products are sex positive, period positive and body positive, and we are proud to use cheekiness, humour and education to combat cultural embarrassment around these areas. Our customers seem to agree, and we have seen fantastic growth over the past three years, with many major retailers stocking our products. This investment will help our exciting plans to grow the business in the UK and US."
