PROSPECT 100 operates a digital co-creation platform that links major corporate brands with global creative talent. The company was established during the pandemic to help young designers showcase their work.
London-based co-creation platform PROSPECT 100 has secured $750k in a pre-seed funding round. The investment was co-led by QVentures, Blackwood, and Ferdinand Ahorner, with participation from several angel investors including designer Sean Wotherspoon and industry figures Guy Holmes and Adam Perrin.
