General Partner
The pre-seed round was backed by investors including firstminute capital and Tuesday VC.
"Building my first startup straight out of university and scaling it to a team of over 500, I knew we had to become an effective learning organization. Yet I couldn’t find a simple way to equip our teams with the learning opportunities they needed to continuously grow their skills, learn more, and move faster."
The investment round was led by Talis Capital with participation from H&M Group Ventures and existing backers.
"At Talis, we partner with founders who are set to redefine their industries with unconventional thinking, and Laced embodies this. We saw the business’ potential from the very beginning and this funding round demonstrates our continued support in becoming the leading marketplace for sought-after sneakers and high end luxury fashion."
The oversubscribed round was led by BY Venture Partners with participation from QVentures.
"This is a milestone for Bridged. We have now proved our product works and we are delighted to have a string of new investors who see how our software will change the publishing and marketing landscape. We are thrilled to have them on the Bridged journey."
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."
