Antler led the seed round with participation from notable angel investors to support platform development.
"As one of the world’s most active early-stage investors, we are typically the first money in and continue our support with investments up to Series C. We invest in only 1% of more than 50,000 founders we meet annually and currently have 40+ companies in our UK portfolio. We were impressed early on by the drive of Mast’s co-founders, who instantly stood out. After backing the team with their first investment, we are thrilled to lead this next round as well. The broader participation of other great investors is further validation that there is significant support around applying deep industry experience and new technologies to solve this decades-old problem in lending."
The pre-seed round was led by Antler to fund product development, team expansion, and international growth.
"People want help but they just don’t know where to get it – the internet is a minefield of bad advice so we make parenting that little bit easier by democratising access to hundreds of experts. From humble beginnings brainstorming around my kitchen table, we are now seeing a fast uptake of experts and users worldwide with an average growth of 88% month on month. Our goal is to help as many families as we can, at whatever life stage they are at. With the launch of the app, we hope to bring this even closer to reality. The positive feedback received from our community is why we’re doing this!"
La Famiglia led the seed investment, which featured backing from several prominent angel investors and venture firms.
"Unlock was just what we needed. From constantly trying to find ways to connect online, to a structured platform that has everything we looked for. The team loved the activities and the connections that were created and reinforced with their colleagues. Unlock is a no-brainer for any remote team and for managers looking for an easy plug n’ play solution to increase remote team satisfaction"
The seed round was led by SFC Capital with participation from Antler and angel investors.
"The business case for better workplace support for those living with chronic health conditions is undoubted. The sickness absence rate for those with a long-term health condition was 4.4% in 2018, compared with 1.1% for those without such a condition. Many long-term conditions can be prevented through lifestyle changes, yet people struggle to find the right information and support to make those changes. We’re here to change that. Our vision is a world where everyone finds it easy to be proactive about their health."
