"We’re very excited to announce this new funding as we embark on the next stage of our growth journey. Having personally experienced the pains of designing and personalising countless sales assets and navigating complex buyer journeys throughout my career, I’m confident trumpet is the answer to these industry-wide problems. The platform provides salespeople with a no-code solution to create live, centralised and personalised microsites which can be used across the entire sales cycle. This seamless experience speeds up, and optimises buyer journeys whilst reducing the growing amount of admin salespeople are faced with. Covid-19 accelerated digital transformation like never before and we are well-positioned to provide the perfect tool to help stimulate a digital shift in B2B sales and the initial data coming out of the Beta is extremely exciting."

"Instead of yet another one-click checkout, Volume is building the world’s first-ever transparent checkout. Ecommerce has a ‘hidden tax’ in the form of payment commissions to cards and ewallets, and consumers don’t know this ultimately impacts on the prices they pay. We want to finally bring transparency to this enormous market and kill all hidden fees. What Transferwise did for cross-border payments, we’ll do for online payments. We estimate that if every merchant were to implement our solution, the ecommerce industry could save $800 billion in fees."
The pre-seed round was backed by Haatch Ventures, SyndicateRoom, and Alma Angels.
"Slip has created a frictionless experience for retailers and their customers which allows retailers to capture in-store data, with an app for customers’ digital receipts.

We are thrilled to be backing Tash and Eddy at the start of their growth journey and very much look forward to working with them."
