LinkedInThe funding will support international expansion, team growth, and product line development for the cocoa-free chocolate maker.
"We're delighted to conclude this funding round, which provides us with extra resources to continue on our mission and deliver a sustainable and affordable alternative to chocolate. We're grateful that industry specialists such as Oetker recognise the need and opportunity, and have chosen Win-Win for their investment."
The seed financing was co-led by Insurtech Gateway and Mustard Seed Maze to support product expansion and the rollout of a new digital care ally.
"We believe there is no single systemic challenge more pressing or fascinating to solve for than our ageing population. We are thrilled to have secured funding that allows us to continue building the tools families need to meet their obligations of care for loved ones without sacrificing their health. With the formal announcement of Jose Ribeiro as Chairman of Yurtle, this is truly a mission to give others what we wish our family had access to in its time of need"
The equity portion of the round was led by Iberis Capital, with debt financing from SmartLenders Asset Management.
"The demand for workforce upskilling has never been greater. We’re on a mission to plug this gap across Europe while empowering individuals to level-up their careers. Our platform is currently over-subscribed so, with the new funds, we’re looking forward to helping as many people as possible embark on training courses to upskill. We aim to expand our coverage to build the workforce for the future, in particular in areas such as technology, AI and climate change."
The pre-seed round was led by Guardian Media Group Ventures with backing from All Turtles.
The seed round will fund content creation, team expansion, and international growth.
"We’ve moved quickly since the inception of Your Juno amid the pandemic, testament to the appetite for a financial education platform built by and for women and non-binary people. It was important for us to ensure our investors reflected our users and so we’re happy to have a strongly female, racially diverse group of investors and advisors who understand our community and can help us in this next stage of our growth"
