Pre-Seed
£3.3M

The round was led by Octopus Ventures with participation from Seedcamp and Semantic to support app development and regulatory approval.

"Most retail investors have two options to build wealth: settle for passive portfolios or try to time the market and pick stocks and crypto themselves without access to the training, tools and information needed to do this effectively. This funding will allow us to build a modern app-based investment service that gives customers the same professional expertise that only high-net-worth individuals are used to. We’ve already got a stellar team in place, and we’re now excited to be working towards regulatory approval to launch over the coming months."
— Matthew Ford, Co-Founder and CEO
Seed
£2.3M

The seed round was led by Creandum to fund further customer growth and product development.

"We know from speaking to our users that one of the biggest challenges they face is the ability to manage their payment-related admin tasks effectively and efficiently, whilst also growing their services and attracting more customers. At a time when the self-employed are already taking a hit due to the pandemic, reducing the cost of getting paid and making the process much faster is becoming increasingly important."
— Noam Nevo, CEO
