BGF is one of the largest and most experienced growth capital investors operating across the UK and Ireland.
The Series F round was backed by Perwyn and BGF, valuing the recipe box firm at over US$1bn.
"Achieving tech unicorn status and joining the ranks of those elite companies that have attained a billion dollar valuation is a proud moment for the entire Gousto team and all of our shareholders but we are still only just getting started. The market opportunity ahead of us is vast, as changes in consumer behaviour drive permanent change through the entire grocery market."
BGF has led a Series A round in MRM Global to support international expansion and product development.
"Our mission is to make it easier and faster for sales teams to support their customers with customised, on-demand and brand-compliant marketing. With the significant impact that Covid-19 has had on the hospitality industry, our mission has never been more important."
BGF has backed the Wakefield-based transport management software provider in a Series A round.
"When we started the business there were clear gaps in how special needs schools and hospitals were managing transport services. Our business is based on getting care to people who need it as quickly and efficiently as possible and this investment is going to fast track the roll out of our technology while also expanding the team to make that vision a reality. BGF clearly understood our mission and the pressing need for a technology-based solution to make specialist transport services as efficient as possible."
The round was led by BGF with participation from Gresham House and Force Over Mass Capital.
"We were impressed with how Moteefe’s unique platform capabilities have allowed it to continue on its fast growth trajectory during the first part of 2020 despite the Covid 19 pandemic. This performance has underlined the demand in the market for their technology as the global retail landscape undergoes a massive transformation"
The investment from BGF will support the digital agency's plans for strategic acquisitions and organic growth.
"We are extremely excited to be partnering with BGF through this investment. The Kagool team has a huge amount of energy for the next phase of growth, having excelled in recent years in our mission to be one of the best Sitecore agencies in the UK. BGF’s track record working with other technology entrepreneurs makes them the perfect match for the next phase of our journey."
