London-headquartered international investment firm focussed on technology investing.
The London-based sustainable toothbrush developer has raised funding to scale its team and retail presence.
"We’re delighted to have the backing from Hambro Perks and JamJar Investments. Their unique expertise and support will enable SURI’s growth to progress from a high potential alternative on the market to a modern industry disruptor, which we feel is sorely lacking in the oral care space"
The London based payments curation platform has raised £5m from a syndicate led by Hambro Perks to scale its technology.
"Very early in our journey we recognised there was a real challenge in how growing businesses navigate the fragmented global payments ecosystem – much like in the consumer market there has been a great unbundling of financial services that has improved choice but created greater complexity. We believe the answer to this is curation and not orchestration – a deeper set of connections that can support not only complex payment flows, but those same flows across multiple geographies and payment types. We are thrilled that this vision resonated with such a prestigious group of investors and industry leaders."
The funding round was led by Hambro Perks with participation from international backers across three continents.
"We have seen a clear societal shift towards remote work, a trend that we believe will continue to accelerate at pace. We should embrace the opportunities that this presents, and platforms like Virtual Internships help students and graduates from around the world to acquire new skills that will accelerate their career growth and prepare them for the 21st-century workplace. Our mission is to bridge the gap between education and the workforce by making global remote work experience accessible to all in a digital and borderless world."
The seed round was backed by investors including Firstminute Capital, Presight Capital, and Seedcamp.
"Traditional clinical research companies are dinosaurs. Taking part in a COVID vaccine trial was like stepping into a time machine. This was one of the best funded trials in history but research was done on pen and paper and participants had to go into hospital at the height of the pandemic to fill out forms. We founded Lindus Health to make it easier for patients to participate in research, and accelerate the development of new treatments."
Hambro Perks led the seed investment, which will fund team expansion and market growth.
"At the UN’s COP26 summit, world leaders, CEOs and celebrities will announce promises to address the climate crisis. But how hollow are these promises? Corporates, investors and governments are accused of greenwashing and will likely fall short of their commitments. A large part of this is due to a lack of accurate, validated and transparent data."
