LinkedInThe audio platform for children raised the capital from backers including Acton Capital and JamJar Investments to expand across Europe and North America.
"In times where kids are growing-up on screens, one of the most important skills they need is to be able to use technology consciously and with balance. Yoto’s proprietary audio platform puts children in full control of how and when they consume audio content,"
The Brighton reseller of photo and video kit has raised £49.8m from Vitruvian Partners and Acton Capital to expand in US and European markets.
"This funding round is a major milestone for MPB culminating a decade of strong performance and a vision to make great kit accessible and affordable. With the backing of Vitruvian Partners and those reinvesting in our business we can accelerate our US and European growth strategy at scale, profitably. Photography and videography are intrinsic to societies and cultures all over the world, and at MPB we have created a circular model that offers everyone the chance to be visual storytellers and content creators in a way that’s good for the planet."
Acton Capital and MMC Ventures backed the latest funding round to accelerate technology developments in home care delivery.
"This is an exciting time for Elder customers and families everywhere who are looking for vital support and care. This new funding will be used to further improve our live-in care experience so even more people up and down the UK can make sure their loved ones get to remain happy, independent and supported in their own home rather than being forced out of it and into a care home."
