Series A
£15.0M

Atomico led the Series A round with participation from existing investors including Lakestar, Kindred, and Maersk Growth.

"For those operating warehouses, ensuring 100% fulfilment ‘in time, all the time’ is crucial to meeting the demands of the modern consumer. A critical component to achieving this is high stock accuracy, but staff shortages, manual processes, and the speed demanded by customers means that critical decisions across the supply chain are currently being taken blindly,"
— Andrei Danescu, CEO and Co-Founder
Seed
£10.6M

Lakestar led the seed round, with backing from Maersk Growth, Kindred Capital, and Capnamic, to fund international expansion and product development.

"BotsAndUs is already paving the way for artificial intelligence and robotics to completely transform logistics. Our integrated AI and robotics platform is helping companies boost their performance and unlock their full potential. We’re confident we can make our vision a reality: transforming logistics on a global scale with real time data to eliminate errors and enhance performance across all steps"
— Andrei Danescu, Co-founder and CEO
Series A
£12.5M

The round was led by Eight Roads with participation from Maersk Growth, Local Globe and Crane.

"At 7bridges, we are uniquely positioned to help businesses enhance, and future-proof, their supply chains in ways that are more sustainable, resilient, cost-effective and efficient. By harnessing our artificial intelligence to make coherent rapid and adaptive decisions across channels, product categories, geographies and service providers we’re able to transform multiple elements of the supply chain, from planning to execution, inbound and outbound logistics, inventory optimisation to customer experience."
— Philip Ashton, CEO and Co-Founder
Series B
£60.0M

The Series B round was led by Mubadala Capital and will support the platform's continental European expansion.

"Scores of new and existing retail businesses now see their future in e-commerce, but while anyone can set up an online store-front and start selling within hours, the infrastructure powering e-commerce is alarmingly outdated, inefficient, inflexible and expensive."
— Martin Bysh, CEO
Series A
£14.0M

The Series A round was led by Stride with participation from Hearst Ventures and existing backers.

"Not only has the global pandemic provided the catalyst for a mass shift into multi-channel commerce over the next five years, but there is a real D2C revolution happening. Thousands of young D2C businesses are bypassing conventional retail channels to engage directly with consumers."
— Martin Bysh, CEO
