K9 Nation secures £167k in seed funding from angel investors to develop its app
The funding round was led by NorthInvest angel investors to support further technological development.
K9 Nation operates an online marketplace and mobile application that connects dog owners with dog-friendly businesses across the UK. The platform serves a growing community of canine enthusiasts.
K9 Nation has secured £167k in seed funding to support product development and platform enhancements. The round received backing from angel investors associated with NorthInvest, including returning participants from the company's initial pre-seed raise. Key figures leading the investment included Dr David Pearce and Jordan Dargue.
The capital follows an earlier £250k pre-seed raise secured in 2020. Leadership plans to use the fresh funds to introduce new technological features for both pet owners and commercial venues within its digital ecosystem.
