The workplace learning platform has raised a Series A round led by Beringea with backing from several new and existing investors.
"An increasingly competitive hiring market and the rise of the ‘great resignation’ mean employers worldwide are concerned about how they recruit and retain top talent."
The Series A round was led by Mobeus and will support international growth and product development.
"These are incredibly exciting times for Vivacity Labs, and the investment will support our objective to enhance and optimise traffic systems everywhere"
Bled by BHL Holdings, the fresh capital will be used to double the UK workforce and invest in proprietary technology.
"The current pandemic has hit small businesses a lot harder than their larger, established counterparts. The economy is experiencing significant turbulence right now and the business landscape will be unrecognisable in a year's time. As a small business championing small businesses, this investment will speed up our ability to deliver bespoke insurance to underpin individual business needs. Helping businesses to not only weather this storm, but scale and thrive."
The funding round was led by Downing Ventures alongside Publicis Groupe, London Co-Investment Fund, and University of Bristol Enterprise Fund.
"There has been a major generational shift in consumer behaviour that has stemmed from a trust crisis – trust in institutions, in brands, and in advertising is at an all-time low."
