Rocky Robots raises £300k in pre-seed funding from Jenson Funding Partners to scale its digital coaching platform
Jenson Funding Partners backed the pre-seed round to help the digital coaching startup expand its market presence and enhance product development.
Rocky Robots develops Rocky.AI, a digital coaching application that uses artificial intelligence to help professionals foster a growth mindset.
Digital coaching startup Rocky Robots has secured £300k in a pre-seed funding round led by Jenson Funding Partners, alongside participation from other investors. The fresh capital will be deployed to scale operations, expand its customer base in the UK and North American markets, and further enhance its product offerings.
Founded in 2019, the company develops the Rocky.AI application, which functions as an interactive sparring partner to encourage self-improvement and reflection among ambitious workers. The platform features daily coaching sessions, a recommendation engine for curated content, and targeted progress tracking.
The investment allows the firm to build upon its existing traction while developing additional features for HR departments and career coaches. Jeffrey Faustin, CIO at Jenson Funding Partners, noted the scalability and problem-solving nature of the platform as key drivers for the investment.
From the founder
"In my previous career, I concluded that one-off training isn’t enough to help people upskill. To become successful, young professionals really need a buddy to coach them through their daily activities and monitor their learning to really change them for good. With AI, we’ve been able to create this mentoring personal assistant that is affordable and can be with users all the time."
Harry Novic
CEO and founder at Rocky Robots
Investor perspective
"As an investor, we’re always looking for scalable problem-solving solutions and what Harry has developed with Rocky.AI really represents that. Whether you’re in your twenties and just getting started in your career or in your forties and want to progress further, Rocky is designed to support the user accordingly, which is really inspiring."
