Connect Ventures led the seed round to help integrate climate change into financial modelling.

"New approaches are quickly emerging to predict the impact of the climate transition on markets around the world. Unwritten brings climate economics into financial decision making, helping investors react to these seismic shifts"
— Cameron Hepburn, Professor of Environmental Economics at the University of Oxford
Pre-Seed
$1.0M

The pre-seed round was co-led by Connect Ventures and Jigsaw.

"In my previous role as a CTO at a fast-growing insurtech, I’ve seen first-hand how unnecessarily complex and time-consuming it can be to push a simple price change live. Whether it’s due to disjointed collaboration, poor back-end systems or simply fighting with other tasks to get to the top of the priority queue, pricing operations all over the world are using platforms and processes that slow them down, introduce errors and ultimately cause their businesses to lose money by making the wrong decisions. We’re redefining the pricing operations category with our new platform. We believe the product speaks for itself, so pricing professionals can use it to implement, optimise and test pricing models for free. Unlike a legacy enterprise solution, companies can switch to us with minimal hassle and cost, improving the speed and confidence of pricing changes for greater growth and profitability."
— Callum Rimmer, Founder

£17.6M

"Security, IT and compliance teams have no visibility into the data employees are storing and sharing across third-party SaaS applications. They are suffering from alert fatigue and are overwhelmed with the amount of notifications they have to address,"
— Rich Vibert, CEO and Co-Founder
Seed
£4.8M

The seed round was co-led by Connect Ventures and Index Ventures to accelerate team expansion and product growth.

"The fundamental problem we’re solving is context: Plain offers a single source of truth for customer interactions, powered by companies’ own systems and data – so when someone gets in touch with a problem, the company immediately knows who they are, what their order is, what’s happened so far – and can resolve it in a single click. Customer service teams are often left unsupported by their colleagues in engineering because traditional systems can be hard to integrate and build with. As a result, customer support teams are left to contend with poorly integrated tools, fragmented data, and disconnected systems. We’re designing Plain from day 1 with both engineering and customer service teams in mind, so it can be quickly and easily customised, rather painfully ‘hacked’ after the fact."
— Simon Rohrbach, Co-founder and CEO
