Arete led the latest investment into the digital scale-up alongside high-profile backers Bill Currie and Sir Terry Leahy.

"The thesis that school facilities can be leveraged for the benefit of the community has been validated. Vivify has generated a significant amount of revenue for schools to date, and this new capital round will enable the business to work with a greater number of schools by providing the technology for school stakeholders with limited time to easily launch and manage a community lettings programme in-house."

The round was led by Bill Currie, Dermot O'Grady, Mark Horrocks, and Sir Terry Leahy to support geographical and product growth.

"This is the culmination of lots of hard work. It is a pivotal moment for the company. It will change how we operate, how we are perceived and how we think,"
— Benjamin Rubin, CEO and founder
