Fly Ventures is a deep tech venture capital firm that invests in early-stage technology companies.
The seed round was led by Speedinvest with participation from Fly Ventures and Seedcamp.
"I’ve seen first-hand the demoralising effect that the existing set of workforce management platforms, including spreadsheets, has on support teams at a human level. For support teams to thrive, individual team members should be empowered to work collaboratively alongside management and their teammates. That’s our vision for Surfboard."
AlbionVC led the seed round with participation from Vast Ventures and Form Ventures to support platform expansion and team growth.
"Over the last several years, we have seen a fintech consumer revolution and the provision of debt from businesses to consumers has skyrocketed. As a result, many businesses now have the power to choose where the line between good or poor financial health gets drawn for their customers. It is time for businesses to start drawing this line empathically. We are thrilled to be partnering with the Ophelos team as they rebuild the relationship between businesses and consumers."
The financing round was led by Vertex Ventures US with participation from several venture funds and alumni syndicates.
"Our mission is to power hiring decisions with truth. The best companies know it’s their people that determine their ability to succeed as an organisation. Yet for the longest time they’ve been recruiting based on guesswork, memory, and bias. Previously, any data that was used to improve hiring performance only ever measured the symptoms, never the causes. Now we can bring transparency to the previously opaque interview process, and use technology to improve the most important moments in hiring."
Redalpine led the Series A round with participation from Fly Ventures and various angel investors to support growth across the Atlantic.
"Debt capital markets is the world’s largest asset class, but it operates using the worst quality data, information, and technology. Many companies in this space aren’t large listed businesses, they’re privately owned, that means important information about them isn’t readily or easily available."
The pre-seed round was co-led by Connect Ventures and Fly Ventures to support platform development and team expansion.
"We started Ophelos to create customer-centric products and services that nurture financially healthy and trusted relationships between consumers and businesses. The debt collection industry felt like a natural starting point because it allows us to understand, diagnose and address many of the underlying issues surrounding financial health. It’s also an industry in desperate need of change towards a more technology-driven, and most importantly, customer-centric approach. We want to create a world where everyone is financially educated, empowered and equal — reimagining the debt collection industry is just a first step towards our larger goal."
