LinkedInThe London-based startup secured the capital from backers including Omers Ventures.
"Decoupling authorization makes life easier for both developers as well as product managers and security teams who create the requirements. Once implemented, the developers can focus on the rest of their job without having to deal with every change in access control logic,"
Octopus Ventures led the series B round, which will help the digital therapeutics platform grow its footprint across the UK and Europe.
"HelloSelf is about giving everyone access to the personalised psychological advice they need. We want to help make Every Self Better. I’m delighted that Octopus has joined the mission. There are over 1.2Bn people who are underserved globally so with this investment and the trust of our network we can accelerate HelloSelf’s impact across the UK and beyond."
Sofina led the round with participation from OMERS Ventures and Index Ventures to accelerate growth in the UK and Europe.
"With millions of clinical data points collected each month, we plan on deriving personalised and predictive insights to enable a value-based healthcare delivery model. This latest investment, just over one year from the last round, is not only a validation of Birdie’s growth trajectory, but also an endorsement for the potential of our social impact."
The funding round was led by OMERS Ventures with participation from Felix Capital and various private investors.
"We’re really excited to be partnering with the OMERS Ventures and Felix Capital teams – both to expand our product offering and also inspire even more people to decorate, all around the world. At Lick we offer paint, wallpapers, blinds and decorating supplies, but what we’re really building is a people-powered decorating movement; and confidence in decorators of every level to transform their spaces, and make their homes their own."
