"We’re delighted to be backing Insiya, Amir and the rest of the Shellworks team, as they bring the science, creativity and lightning speed we’re used to in tech environments to the world of materials and packaging.

Series A
$12.0M

The financing round was led by Autotech Ventures with participation from several new and existing investors.

"When we started Otta, people told us job search was soul-crushing. Recruitment felt like it was stuck in the classifieds era. We believe there’s a different way, and we call it candidate-first job search. It’s a new category that flips industry dynamics on its head. Candidates are prioritised, rather than treated like second-class citizens, and this attracts the best talent to our product"
— Sam Franklin, Co-founder and CEO

— Allister Furey, CEO and co-founder
