Portaire has secured £550k in pre-seed funding to build out its workflow platform for interior designers. The round was led by QVentures, alongside participation from several angel investors.
The capital will support the company as it develops its software designed to digitise the lifecycle of interior design projects. The platform combines workflow tools with a curated marketplace connecting high-end suppliers and practitioners.
Founders Lori Bolon and Matteo Grand established the business to address inefficiencies in the interior design sector. The company plans to use the investment to scale its operations.
