London Business Angels is a private angel network connecting innovative, fast-growing small and medium-sized enterprises with business angel investors.
London Business Angels contributed to the £90k post seed raise, bringing total recent funding to over £440k.
"In this fast moving business environment, Moshi Monsters, Angry Birds and Temple Run have all redefined how children’s brands can be built. Small digital companies with innovative ideas can compete with much larger, established companies for children’s attention. I’m thrilled that we can work with LBA investors to grow Night Zookeeper and further our mission to turn children from simply the consumers of digital media into the creators."
The seed round was cornerstoned by a £125k investment from Angels in the City and London Business Angels syndicate members.
"Our team founded BreakBad to change the way we understand, measure and influence our health from tracking symptomatic metrics like calories and kilos to the causal metrics that drive our behaviour. We needed the funds to hire the talent required to embark on this exciting journey and pitched at Angels in the City. Huge thanks to Kayar Raghavan our lead investor and Andrew Dancer our board member who helped with fund raising and strategy respectively. The Angels in the City process was seamless and in less than 2 months, we have the funds and team to embark on this exciting journey."
The funding round was cornerstoned by a syndicate of investors from London Business Angels.
"Night Zookeeper is a business with huge potential. We have demonstrated our brands appeal and built award winning products. A large number of our investors are parents who recognise the problem that our platform solves and are passionate to see us succeed. As CEO, that is a fantastic position to be in."
The angel round was anchored by London Business Angels and an LBA syndicate.
"We’re delighted with the calibre of angels we have recruited to join the team. Bringing with them sector, founder and exit experiences to help us move faster. The next few months offer us opportunities to grow our profile, launch product and extend our understanding of the market. So the team are very excited to be at the vanguard of context sensing and look forward to solving real world business problems while generating new insight in the movement of people and goods."
The funding will support the full commercial rollout of the melio catheter leg bag and next-generation product development.
"Since our last funding round in 2012 the team at AMD has been investing time and money on product development, with the goal of reducing the end cost for the user. We’ve also focused on building our commercial and marketing teams. The melio bag has been incredibly well received by professionals in the urology sector and we look forward to using this funding to reach more patients and to greatly improve the lives of those with urinary incontinence."
