Love Ventures

"2025 has been a year of validation, proving that SMEs and their funding partners need a more modern, data-driven approach to working capital. This investment round is a huge vote of confidence. It shows that established banks see the same opportunity we do: to bring liquidity closer to the point of need and help businesses fund growth more dynamically. Our goal is to reinvent the business overdraft for SMEs. When working capital flows easily, businesses invest, hire, and grow. That’s how we make finance work for the real economy again."

"Every major social platform is becoming shoppable, and every global brand will need infrastructure to make social commerce deliver. We know from our experience at TikTok Shop both the scale of the opportunity and the structural challenges enterprises face. Unbox is building the platform to power sustainable growth in this new channel, helping the world’s biggest brands sell through social with confidence."

"At Bourn, we understand the vital role SMEs play in the UK economy. Our mission is to simplify cash flow management through innovative financial solutions, giving businesses the confidence to grow. This funding propels us closer to our vision of transforming SME finance across the UK."

"We are thrilled to announce the successful closing of our funding round. This investment will enable us to further develop our AI-powered insurance validation platform and empower contractors and recruitment companies to achieve seamless insurance compliance and to get their global suppliers and contractors covered instantly. Jove is at the forefront of changing the landscape of how insurance is being quoted and purchased globally. This has never been done before."

"Food companies are under increasing pressure from customers, investors and regulators to reduce their carbon emissions. This funding and recent Forbes 30 Under 30 recognition, give us the backing we need to expand our team, accelerate our growth, and ultimately give food companies everything they need to reduce emissions and achieve their net-zero targets. We’re delighted to welcome Hambro Perks and LOVE Ventures as investors, and Laura Noorani as a Board Director."

"We’re reinvesting in Detected because we have a strong belief in the company’s long-term potential. As customers, we have seen first-hand the impact the technology has, and we’re excited about the momentum that Detected has developed in the market."

"We are proud to be at the forefront of the financial wellbeing movement, empowering businesses and giving employees everything they need to navigate their financial lives with confidence. This funding underlines Mintago’s immense potential, and with the backing of some exceptional investors, we are excited to be able to fast-track our growth in the months and years to come."

"it's crazy that there's been no single source of instant employment and income data verification until now. This is especially pressing given the huge variety and volume of companies crying out for this crucial data validation when helping customers take on life's big events; whether it's getting a job, house, credit, or anything in between. We believe there's no one better positioned to build this upstream aggregation platform than Chris and the exceptional team he's assembled at Konfir."

"Due to the way that the Gradual Homeownership model works, the rising interest rates seen since September’s controversial mini-budget have delivered even greater demand for our product. With the recent ending of the Help to Buy scheme there are now hundreds of thousands of would-be homeowners seeking alternative ways to access the property ladder. This significant raise will fuel our ambitions to double the pace at which we can help new homeowners within 12 months."

"The market for the unaffordables is continuing to grow, as large swathes of the population have been locked out of homeownership."

"Decarbonisation initiatives in the financial sector are growing rapidly which is why we need to further scale our product offering to help financial institutions measure and reduce the emissions of their customers,"

"We’ve put ourselves in a very strong position to deliver on our ambitious 2023 objectives. I am grateful for the support of our new and existing investors and we’ll now continue to show them that they have made a brilliant choice."

"Having developed a unique market-leading solution for the commercial property leasing process, we felt that the size of the opportunity to expand into new sectors and geographies warranted an influx of capital. In Love Ventures, Concrete Ventures and multiple industry-leading angels, we have got passionate, smart and supportive partners who we are thrilled to welcome aboard for the next phase of our journey."

"This fundraise means a lot. It is validation that what we are building is solving a genuine and far-reaching problem which, for too long, has been left unaddressed."

"Detected can find any legitimate company in the world instantly. KYB is currently seen as an operational hurdle when it should be an asset, and our technology is steering that shift. Detected gives businesses full visibility of any entity they want to work with, significantly reducing the friction involved in onboarding suppliers. In that way, it can help stimulate business activity, especially when working with clients, suppliers or partners in emerging markets."

"Banked has built a product that can operate inside tier 1 banks, payment providers, gateways and technology platforms to allow them to offer Pay by Bank to their merchants. We have had a maniacal focus on infrastructure, security, and end consumer experience. Our clients only need to focus on integration. We really want to work inside the existing ecosystem and are building out very strong partnerships to deliver Pay by Bank globally. 2022 will see some really big brands go live with Pay by Bank, driving at the heart of delivering innovation at point of purchase to both the merchant and consumer"
