The London based personal money app secured the capital as part of a £6.1m seed round.
"A significant proportion of the UK population would like to be involved in cryptocurrencies, but face barriers in terms of being able to transact confidently and knowledgeably in a safe, familiar environment. We address these barriers to participation and empower everybody to take part in the new era of digital currencies. Working with AIN has given us unparalleled access to world class strategic investors and a streamlined fundraising process. This will allow us to accelerate growth and continue focusing on building the best product we can for our customers."
The capital will be used to expand the team, build out content, and launch a new multibook platform.
"Whether you want to become a better leader, better sleeper or reduce your anxiety, we all want to improve our lives. However we discovered the self-development market fails to deliver, not because the advice isn't good, but because information isn't enough. Our platform enables us to deliver interactive practices through mobile, so people can access tools to help them the moment they need them, whatever the situation. We have been thrilled with the support we have received from investors and some of the biggest self-development authors in the world as we look to scale our offering."
The funding was secured with support from Angel Investment Network to advance product and technology development.
"We’re obsessed with shoppers getting their best deal – whatever that means to them. We’ll achieve this by solving two fundamental issues in online shopping. Firstly, we want to give shoppers the complete view of all of their buying options so that they can make purchase decisions based on their values. Secondly, we’ll make it easier for shoppers to find new products whilst, in parallel, leveraging our two-sided marketplace to act as a conversion enabler to close the gap between shoppers and retailers with significant revenue upside and ability to scale."
The Reading-based healthcare technology company secured the financing over five months to progress product development and clinical trials.
"Healthcare is one of the areas of biggest interest to our investor database. In the year of a global pandemic this is perhaps no surprise – but this business really did tick all the boxes for our investors. They have patent-protected IP with a product developed by a team with extensive medical experience. They also have a track record of high value medical and technology exits. We look forward to seeing the development of this business and its potential ability to improve the lives of millions of people."

The digital addressing startup secured backing from Angel Investment Network to fund international expansion and double its headcount.
"A physical address should be a human right. Whether it’s opening up a bank account or getting an ambulance to your door, every person on this planet deserves access to these services. This raise is a vital stepping stone to unlock our growth into Nigeria as well as explore new markets across Africa, Middle East and Asia. The Angel Investment Network was instrumental in our fundraising success and has really helped us on our Mission to enable half the world without a physical address to “be included.”"
