£1.9M

The funding round was led by Mercia Equity Finance and Haatch to drive product development and international sales.

"Despite growing reliance on external workers in every industry, many businesses still struggle to answer a very basic question: how many people actually work for us, what are they doing and how are they engaged? That becomes a serious governance and compliance problem when responsibility is spread across business functions. Our mission is to provide the decision and governance layer across these teams, helping them choose the right engagement model and classify work correctly from the outset"
— Michael Cleavely, Founder and CEO
Seed
£1.0M

The round was backed by NPIF II and Haatch to support team growth and market expansion.

"Insurers hold some of the biggest customer bases in the country, yet the industry has trained those customers to see their policy as a price and nothing more. Every renewal sends them back to the comparison sites, and the insurer that wins them this year loses them the next. We started Fruga to take customers out of that aggregator cycle and put real value back at the heart of the relationship. Customer value and data insights is what makes that possible."
— Ross McCarthy, CEO and founder
Pre-Seed
£850K

The round was led by Haatch, with participation from Setanta Vehicle Importers and Fhunded Angels.

"This significant funding round will help us get to the next stage of our development; enabling us to expand our team, strengthen our technology, and accelerate our work with vehicle operators, energy partners, and industry stakeholders."
— Will Maden
Seed
£4.2M

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,"
— James Morris-Manuel, Founder and CEO
Series A
£8.1M

The oversubscribed funding round was led by Portage Ventures with participation from F Capital and existing investors.

"Happl began with a simple belief: benefits should be easy to understand, easy to manage and easy to implement. What we’ve built goes far beyond that, a global platform that removes complexity at scale and connects employees with solutions that truly reflect their needs."
— Ben Towers, CEO
