The seed round was led by the North East Venture Fund and investor Jenny Campbell to support regional deployment and hiring.
"I’d struggled to find the right investors and was ready to give up on the idea, but Mercia showed strong support and then the opportunity to go on Dragons’ Den came up.

With the backing of Mercia and Jenny Campbell, I am now ready to start deploying into live locations over the coming months."
