Metica raises £7.3m seed round led by Play Ventures, 13books, and Firstminute Capital to expand its gaming platform

The seed round was led by Play Ventures, 13books, and Firstminute Capital, alongside multiple angel investors.
"We’ve seen a massive opportunity in connecting user acquisition, marketing, and in-game monetization, areas that have long existed in silos. With the emergence of advanced AI technologies, we’re moving the gaming industry to a continuous optimization and personalization mindset, unlocking new potential for growth. Add to this UA growth funding, and we help games supercharge their growth in a long-term sustainable way."
The Electric Car Scheme has raised a Series A round led by 13books Capital to support its electric vehicle salary sacrifice platform.
"This new round of investment is a huge vote of confidence not only in The Electric Car Scheme, but the company’s impact in supporting the wider transition to Net Zero emissions. We are incredibly excited to work together with our brilliant team, and forward-thinking investors to deliver on our mission to make Net Zero simpler and cheaper to become the obvious choice."
The Series A round was backed by MMC Ventures and 13books Capital to support the company as it integrates its payment technology with Xero.
"It’s a transformational moment for the company and we’re excited to be backing Ralph and the team at this critical point in their growth."
