"Dex’s mission is to empower individuals to do meaningful work byconnecting them with opportunities that align with their ambitions and values.

We’re working at the forefront of what is possible when it comes to conversational, generative AI and we’re thrilled to have some of the best AI investors in the world helping us to achieve that vision."

"Lenders are losing a significant portion of their economics to third-party fees and endless structuring processes. We want to help them claim back that value by simplifying their access to a broader range of financing options. This will ultimately benefit their clients, consumers and small businesses of the real economy, at a time where innovative credit, payment, and embedded finance products are rapidly growing. Our solution is applicable to any finance product. We are here to support any lender, anywhere, and help them scale their operations."
The round was led by Stride with participation from high profile funds and angel investors.
"But at Triver, we’ve cracked the code. Using Open Banking and artificial intelligence we are revolutionising how SMEs access finance and are partnering with digital service providers already trusted by these businesses."
The financing round was supported by investors including Andreessen Horowitz and SoftBank to develop interoperable Web3 virtual spaces.
"We founded Improbable to make real the promise of incredible online worlds that were more than just games – they were extensions of our lives. I believe the metaverse and Web3 movement, though very early, represent a once-in-a-generation redefinition of our society towards a ‘fulfilment economy’ where experiences made by an open network of creators and businesses can create enormous opportunity for everyone. M² is our contribution to establishing this future and we hope to help our partners catalyse an open metaverse with many participants and success stories. We are excited to be actively working with some of the best investors in the space in building out this new ecosystem."
Andreessen Horowitz and LocalGlobe co-led the seed financing to fund platform growth and team expansion.
"Dining at home should be flavourful, meaningful, and exciting, a departure from the everyday and generic takeaway. Dishpatch creates an entirely new and profitable revenue stream for restaurants, while enabling access to high quality menus no matter where you live. We’re giving the best chefs bigger tables, hand selecting both award-winners and hidden gems yet to be discovered."
The Series C round was co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and General Catalyst with participation from IVP and other returning backers.
"We are creating a portfolio of products to build the future of live video collaboration and remote community. As we’ve seen, the importance of providing unparalleled virtual and hybrid event experiences has never been greater and this latest funding is a reflection of how critical it is as brands look for ways to connect with people and avenues of growth. To enable this, we are investing more in video innovation, the core medium of digital collaboration. We’re incredibly appreciative of the confidence from our investors who share Hopin’s vision for a better connected world. This is a testament to the dedication of the Hopin team, which works hard to deliver for our customers."
