JENA has secured £1.2m in an oversubscribed pre-seed funding round to scale its operations. The investment was co-led by True and Gfund, with participation from several prominent angel investors and syndicates.
The company provides an integrated software platform for independent service professionals, combining booking, payments, and website tools into one application. The newly raised capital will be deployed to accelerate product development and support customer growth as demand for vertical SaaS solutions increases.
From the founder
"This funding validates our vision and will fuel our efforts to empower more solopreneurs to thrive on their own terms"

Investor perspective
"We’re really excited to back Jean-Michel and Nabil’s vision of bringing vertical software to the independent service industry. They have already demonstrated clear demand from ‘solopreneurs’ wanting simple and intuitive tools to help manage and grow their businesses, so we’re looking forward to supporting the team as they bring Jena to market."
