Blackfinch Ventures has provided £700k in seed funding to support the expansion of the text analytics platform.
"As we move the proposition forward, we need larger institutions with deeper pockets and richer networks. Blackfinch really understands where we are in our lifecycle and has the financial clout, expertise and connections to help take us to the next level."
The Lincoln technology start-up raised the capital through Minerva Business Angels and Innovate UK.
"After seeing Tended pitch a couple of times at Minerva events, one of Blackfinch Ventures directors expressed an interest in investing. Initially, I thought it was just him acting as an individual Angel, so when I heard the investment was to be through Blackfinch and they were interested in investing £810k, it came as quite a shock! It also came at just the right time as we had a number of very exciting opportunities opening up, which required a much larger cash injection than previously anticipated."
