LinkedInThe pre-seed round drew backing from Fuel Ventures, SyndicateRoom Access EIS, and angel investors including The Gay Investor Network.
"We wanted our first investment to show exactly what our members can back: a founder who has done it before, going after a huge market that technology has barely touched. Atlian is that company."
Fuel Ventures led the funding round, which included participation from Antler and a grant from Innovate UK.
"Creators are the most underleveraged founders in the world. They have the audience, the trust and the loyalty, but what they have lacked is the infrastructure to turn that into value. Affinity Labs exists to be that infrastructure. We co-found every product with a leading creator and put our AI factory behind it, so each brand launches with the built-in organic distribution that consumer products typically spend years building."
The round was led by Fuel Ventures with participation from Manchester Angels and industry angels.
"We’ve seen it so many times that each deal is treated as if it is siloed from the rest of the GTM – this doesn’t and shouldn’t have to be the case. The answer to any deal is there, just no one knows how to find it – Doris does."
The funding round includes £1.5m from Fuel Ventures and a £1.5m Innovate UK loan, supporting product development and commercial scaling.
"Producers and users of indices have been limited for too long by outdated systems. PANTA digitalises the entire value chain, helping clients innovate faster, operate more efficiently and deliver greater value to investors."
The pre-seed round was led by Fuel Ventures to scale partnerships in the Build to Rent sector.
"We founded Arrival because the system for managing household utilities is fundamentally broken and exploitative. Tenants are currently wasting critical time – nearly half a day every month – and are often paying thousands more than necessary by remaining on expensive, default tariffs. We built Arrival to solve this exact problem, offering a comprehensive solution that takes under three minutes to set up and guarantees the cheapest tariff, giving renters control back and eliminating life admin worry. This funding is crucial for scaling our platform faster and accelerating strategic partnerships, especially within the rapidly growing Build to Rent sector."
