The funding round was supported by Vectr7 Investment Partners and existing shareholders alongside the Innovate UK Investor Partnerships Programme.

"This funding allows us to move faster with our growth plans and support the development of new products. Our goal is to provide a simple solution for landlords and homeowners to reduce energy use. We are pleased to have the continued support of our investors as we work to make homes warmer and healthier for residents."

The funding round was supported by One Planet Capital, SFC Capital, Scottish Enterprise, and the British Business Bank.

"My main motivation was the huge opportunity to make an impact when I realized the potential of my idea. This started out as a dissertation on wind turbines and realized this could be so much more. I want to make a difference. We need clean energy fast to meet our targets we are behind on. Hence my inspiration to design a wind turbine that focused on lowering costs, improving logistics and eliminating the need for cranes and large teams to install and maintain wind turbines."
— Adarsh Bhardwaj, Founder and CEO
Pre-Seed
£234K

GC Angels led the pre-seed round alongside One Planet Capital and angel investors to help CRESS expand its uniform platform.

"We are joining sustainability with affordability, supporting schools to sell pre-loved uniforms through an online, customer-friendly platform. Our model helps parents save money, supports schools with vital funding, and reduces waste and carbon emissions – all whilst making sure no perfectly good uniform item goes to waste. By encouraging donations of pre-loved uniforms, we’re not only helping families, but we’re also reducing the environmental impact of school clothing waste. The UK sends thousands of school uniform items to landfill or incineration every year, but with CRESS, we can decrease this waste, provide children with books and plant trees all in one go. We’re so passionate about making a difference, and we’re really grateful to Ranvir and GC Angels for their support. By introducing us to the likes of GMCA and Carma, along with their financial investment, GC Angels is helping to propel CRESS into our next stage of growth. This will mean we can support even more schools across not only Greater Manchester, but also country wide."
— Carl Morris, Co-founder
