Founding Partner
Triple Point Ventures led the oversubscribed seed round to support growth in product development and go-to-market operations.
"For decades, SME contractors have been penalised by a lack of price transparency and inefficient ordering, often paying a premium simply because they lack the time and purchasing power of the Tier-1 giants,"
The pre-seed round was led by Bijan Morvaridi to support product development and regulatory engagement.
"Having worked in the restaurant business for years, I know how important personal service is. OpenFi’s technology is the first AI application I’ve experienced that felt human and personal, that’s why I am backing the company."
The round was led by Beringea and backed by several prominent investors to accelerate market expansion.
"We are excited to welcome onboard some of the industry's leading investors as part of this fundraise and to have them support us on our mission to expand our market reach and help build better places. Commonplace is not only helping developers in gathering real-time feedback and public opinion, but also to reach those communities who wouldn't normally interact with application proposals. Boosting participation in community projects will empower positive engagement and help to build better cities and communities."
The funding round was led by Beringea with participation from Grosvenor Property UK, The Conduit Impact Fund, Concrete Ventures, Oxford Innovation Finance and Foundation Ventures.
"We’re super excited to be joining forces with these leaders in placemaking and proptech to accelerate our mission to inspire thriving places, powered by insights and collaboration. Moving beyond our sector’s aspiration to deliver social value, our work will allow users to define, plan for, target and then evidence the positive impact their buildings and places have on those who live and work in them. Just as environmental measurement frameworks are now supporting our decarbonisation journey, Commonplace’s increased product focus on social value will become a critical support to analyse and understand the ‘S’ in ESG."
Foundation Capital led the investment round, which will fund team expansion and product updates.
"In the wake of a challenging year for the crypto market, Coincover is in high demand, as businesses and consumers scramble to safeguard their digital assets."
