The Series A round was led by Target Global to fuel international expansion and team growth.
"Our bold ambition is to make payroll invisible. We believe that 10 years from now, 'payroll software' will be eliminated from the dictionaries. Invisible payroll will be a crucial element across broader platforms and thanks to our vision, we will be at the forefront of this new trend. We are also extremely pleased to have investors like Target Global join us in carrying out this vision and helping us shape the future of payroll together."
The funding round was led by Highland Europe alongside participation from Columbia Lake Partners, Finch Capital, Latitude, and Oxx.
"As we continue on our mission to build the best rental experience in the world, bringing Highland Europe and Columbia Lake Partners on board as investors is fantastic news for Goodlord and the rental sector. About one in five people in the UK now live in the private rented sector, supported by millions more private landlords and lettings professionals, making our mission just as important today as it was when Goodlord began."
AlbionVC leads the latest funding round alongside existing backers Amadeus Capital Partners and Finch Capital.
"Organisations that can extract insights from big data in a timely manner will be the leaders of tomorrow. Our investment in Brytlyt.io is in firm support of that thesis. We are therefore delighted to welcome Brytlyt.io, and visionary founder Richard, into our growing portfolio of cutting-edge data companies that includes Quantexa, Solidatus, Elliptic and more"
The Series A round was led by Octopus Ventures with participation from Clocktower Technology Ventures, Speedinvest, Seedcamp and Finch Capital.
"We see a huge amount of potential in launching TaxScouts into Spain. Naturally, the weather and the wine were considered when picking the market, but having successfully built a solution for one of the trickiest tax systems in Europe, we are confident that we can deliver another great product for Spain’s complex tax structure. The market is double that of the UK, and this is the first step to us building a Pan-European tax service. We will build the go-to solution for anyone across Europe to easily file their tax return regardless of its complexity. This investment will enable us to quickly scale up a team to support our new Country Manager in Madrid, and launch other new products in the UK."
The seed round was led by Global Founders Capital and Partech with backing from existing investors.
"We are excited to find partners who will accompany us on this journey to build new, employer-based trust layers for financial markets and have raised €5.6m from them"
Rabo Frontier Ventures led the Series C round, which brings Trussle's total funding to £26.7m.
"The slow-moving and complex mortgage market is one of the biggest pain points of owning a home. Trussle is leading the way in reshaping the way people interact with their mortgage by utilising technology to make mortgages smarter, faster and fairer. We’re looking forward to working closely with Trussle on the next phase of their journey to redesign the mortgage application process, as well as additional services to better support their customers through the home ownership journey."
