Recent investments

Series A
£15.8M

The Series A round was led by Beringea with backing from Amplifier, Speedinvest, and FJ Labs to support team expansion and product growth.

"Construction is one of the least digitised industries with over 95% of supply chain transactions still being conducted over the phone, email and pen and paper. Coordinating multiple suppliers and deliveries across time constrained projects is a real challenge that results in delays and costly project overruns. YardLink connects construction customers with their supply chain on a single digital platform, enabling contractors to manage their entire supply chain, streamlining procurement and ultimately helping them increase their profit margins"
— Neeral Shah, CEO
Series A
£4.0M

Beringea led the Series A round to support team expansion and US operations.

"CGHero sits at the intersection of two fundamental trends shaping the global economy: the rise of the metaverse and the future of work. As we see the widespread adoption of AR and VR, demand for 3D content – and the specialist talent required to develop it – will increase dramatically."
— Eyal Malinger
Series B
£16.1M

The investment was led by Beringea with participation from Talis Capital, Hearst Ventures, and Latitude.

"With British consumers spending more in 2022 than in previous years, there is no room for error and so we strive to set that global standard for quality in the travel sector that has previously been lacking. We are catering to discerning global travellers who simply expect the best; they want unique properties in exciting destinations for a homestay in comfort and style and this investment will allow us to scale up to meet that demand."
— Doron Meyassed, Founder and CEO
Series C
£36.9M

The Series C financing round was led by Singular with participation from dmg ventures, Lansdowne Partners, Kathaka, Felix Capital, and Beringea.

"Taymoor and the Papier team have completely reinvented stationery for today’s consumer. They’ve taken the traditional charm, sophistication, and personalised touch of the offline paper world, and merged it with a seamless, tech-driven consumer experience and production process. I’ve been so impressed with the team’s vision, ambition, and consumer-first values. We at Singular are thrilled to partner with Papier on taking this world-class brand to even greater heights."
— Nahu Ghebremichael, Partner
Series A
$10.0M

The workplace learning platform has raised a Series A round led by Beringea with backing from several new and existing investors.

"An increasingly competitive hiring market and the rise of the ‘great resignation’ mean employers worldwide are concerned about how they recruit and retain top talent."
— Rajeeb Dey, Founder and CEO
Series A
£5.2M

Transatlantic venture capital firm Beringea led the financing round, which will fund team expansion and artificial intelligence development.

"For too long, procurement has been an opaque practice conducted on outdated technologies like email and ERP systems. We want to bring true visibility to the supply chain, so companies can analyse, compare, and understand the suppliers they use, because only with this kind of transparency can procurement become fully auditable and sustainable."
— Jack Macfarlane, Founder and CEO
Seed
£2.0M

Beringea leads a £2m Seed round to help LITTA expand its digital waste collection services across the UK and internationally.

"LITTA has digitised a notoriously archaic, poorly serviced market. By leveraging our technology platform, which is underpinned by AI, we are able to leverage capacity in the market to fulfil customer bookings, aggregating a highly fragmented market. Our technology allows us to work with trusted suppliers to service customers professionally and efficiently, introducing the on-demand service that millennials expect today."
— Aaron Georgiou, CEO and Co-Founder
Series A
£5.0M

Beringea and Mercia backed the Series A round to support international growth and product development.

"It is not often that you meet a founding team that has advised heads of state alongside Facebook and Google: in Vidhya and Ross, we are working with entrepreneurs that provide world-leading perspectives on the global trends shaping the future of online threats. As Moonshot scales its presence in Washington D.C., Beringea will be working closely with the team to leverage our transatlantic footprint and build an international success story together."
— Karen McCormick, Chief Investment Officer
Series D+
£49.8M

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."
— Matt Barker, Founder and CEO
Series A
£10.4M

The data indexing platform raised further capital led by Beringea to develop its product and support scaling.

"Today every company on earth is a data company and the ability to see all data, in absolute detail, in one place, regardless of source and type, has been the one constant that has held us all back from maximising the true value of our data strategies, until now! I am delighted to be part of the Exonar Team, as we enable our customers to truly know and leverage their data, in ways previously not possible, on behalf of the people they serve."
— Danny Reeves, CEO
