The Birmingham fintech secures capital to scale its digital parallel payment account as Parliament moves to reform construction payment terms.

"Late payment in construction goes beyond the balance sheet. It creates pressure that runs through businesses, workers and families. When firms are waiting months beyond agreed terms, people are left worrying about whether they can pay staff, suppliers, and themselves,"
— Jarvey Moss, Co-founder and chief executive
£1.0M

The options trading platform is crowdsourcing funds from retail investors following its public iOS launch.

"Our goal is to make the options market more accessible to savvy UK investors, as we believe it offers huge untapped opportunities. There is not a lack of interest in options trading, but rather a lack of access. High fees, confusing platforms and limited availability have kept UK investors out and we are directly addressing that gap. The feedback from our soft launch was invaluable and has directly influenced the features and interface that are live today. We’re also enabling investors to join us on our journey through our second Crowdcube round as we strongly believe in community ownership. Options trading has traditionally been an exclusive market, and we want to change that not only through the product but also through how we fund the company. Crowdfunding allows our early adopters to become shareholders and grow with us."
— Alec Beasley, Co-founder and CEO

£500K

The health tech company surpassed £500k on Crowdcube with backing from more than 100 investors.

"Reaching the £500,000 threshold is an exciting moment, one that reflects investor belief in our mission to make diabetes screening simpler, earlier, and more accessible. With healthcare systems under increasing pressure, innovations like GTT@home can reduce clinical burden while improving patient experience and outcomes."
— James Jackson, CEO and Founder

$2.7M

The London based healthtech startup secured backing from investors including Entrepreneur First and Form Ventures to expand its platform into clinical settings.

"Our technology is revolutionary. By combining cutting edge neuroscience and ethical, explainable AI, we have built a tool that can help people get an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan in place faster than ever before. It’s all about arming clinicians with the very best tools so that they can do the very best by their patients. We’re so grateful for the support our investors have shown us so far; and we look forward to this next stage of our journey as we look to optimise and expand our technology and get it in the hands of the people who need it most."

"We’re delighted to complete our crowdfund and gain more vehicle obsessed, money-saving focused investors. With this fundraising complete, our plan is to launch and get to the heights of MoneySuperMarket in the vehicle-comparison world. We want to shake up the whole vehicle buying process and enable consumers to make informed decisions before they part with their cash. Karfu is a totally unique proposition: it will be the first site ever to include a range of vehicles – not just cars or bikes – and we also calculate the vehicle’s lifetime CO2 impact. Now more than ever people want to make decisions that are sustainable for the environment and Karfu helps them to do that. It’s about the total ownership cost. Most of the time people might base their decision just on a monthly PCP deal, for example, but they might be comparing apples with oranges. By assessing people’s needs with a few basic questions, we can establish whether it’s best for a consumer to buy outright, lease, hire purchase or even go down subscription or sharing routes. It’s all in the mix. The rising cost of living means consumers need to be smarter with their money. By considering all the options, even those that traditional consumers feel they know little about, Karfu will help them be better informed and able to make decisions that save them time, money… and the planet."
— Sam Ellis, Co-founder and CEO
