Mobile Guardian secures £750k in seed funding to accelerate product development and sales.
The company raised the capital from new and existing backers to support the rollout of home-learning tools.
Mobile Guardian provides a mobile device management platform for the global education sector to secure and monitor pupil devices. The cloud-based software helps protect children from online threats while supporting remote learning.
Mobile Guardian has secured £750k in a seed round from new and existing shareholders, including contributions from several new angel investors introduced by Yellowstone Advisory. The capital arrives amid a surge in demand driven by the global lockdown, which has shortened sales cycles and increased interest from schools, parents, and governments.
The proceeds will be directed towards accelerating the launch of a new parental control application for personal devices and expanding sales and marketing operations to capture international opportunities.
From the founder
"Given the backdrop, to attract such strong investor interest is extremely pleasing. The new funding will help us to continue our mission to protect children on mobile devices, whether at school or in the home. Mobile Guardian was already gaining traction as more and more schools around the world began to use remote learning as a key part of a child's education. The lockdown has accelerated the trend, and I want to thank all our staff who have been working hard to support clients from remote locations. Mobile Guardian has an exciting future."
