Series A
$20.0M

The Series A round was led by Eight Roads Ventures with backing from MMC Ventures, Crane Venture Partners and Winton Ventures.

"We are facing a new reality whereby attackers are advancing more quickly than legacy approaches can keep up with, but hybrid and multi-cloud environments are far more complex than we yet know how to defend. Added to this, the volume and speed of data is beyond what legacy architecture was ever designed to handle. The daily headlines show legacy approaches don’t work and if we don’t do something courageous now as a security community or we aren’t going to stand a chance in the future. We chose to partner with Eight Roads Ventures because of their ability to support SenseOn’s vision, thanks to their collaborative partnership style, their strong knowledge of the cyber industry and their global footprint."

Series A
$10.0M

The funding round was led by Eight Roads Ventures and Jigsaw VC to support platform development and international expansion.

"Slerp has enabled hospitality businesses who have been hard hit during the pandemic to launch an online offering quickly and to continue serving customers through successive lockdowns. As the economy re-opens, these businesses have an established new business line which will strengthen them for the long-term and allow them to reach a much broader customer base. We have been very impressed by the rapid growth that Slerp has achieved over the last year. We are thrilled to partner with JP and the team as Slerp looks to power hospitality ecommerce across Europe."
— Davor Hebel, Head of Eight Roads Ventures Europe
Series B
£100M

The financing round was led by DMG Ventures to accelerate the shift to digital vehicle retail.

"We are very excited to continue to support Alex and the team at Cazoo. The pace of what they’ve achieved and the level of adoption they’ve seen in the first few months since launch is remarkable. With almost 8 million used car transactions a year in the UK, there is a clear opportunity to provide a more convenient way to buy a car and shift part of the market online."
— Manuel Lopo de Carvalho, CEO
