"John has built an impressive senior management team around him and we are delighted to support the business as it enters an exciting new phase of growth."
Maven Capital Partners has backed Manchester-based Collabor8Online with £150k to scale its team and product offerings.
"This investment gives us a fantastic opportunity to expand and further develop our business. Our product is ideally placed to meet the needs of businesses who are looking to share and manage their documentation more securely. We look forward to meeting the needs of an ever-growing market sector"
NVM Private Equity and Maven Capital Partners backed the £7m Series A round to accelerate growth and platform development.
"We are on an absolute mission to deliver the UK’s best mortgage experience and make mortgages easy. The UK mortgage market is the largest in Europe, but investment into the sector has been disproportionate in comparison to other financial verticals. This has resulted in poor customer experience and a significant lack of innovation. Mojo intends to put that right."
The Manchester based job matching platform secured funding from GC Angels to double its team size.
"Using the funding from GC Angels and our other investors over the past two years we have been able to build GradTouch into a unique business that develops a real cultural fit between companies and candidiates."
