The seed round was co-led by Oxford Capital and YZR to fund expansion into international markets.
"Increasing access to the right diagnostic imaging and testing is vital to saving lives. It offers preventive healthcare that, if delayed, can cause significant problems to the patient and put even greater pressure on the healthcare system. In my role as an osteopath I've seen how the deterioration of patient wellbeing can be impacted by the cost and access of such tests. With this new investment we can continue to grow our network to get the tests that help to direct patients to the optimal therapy for the best outcome."
— Jasper Nissim, Co-Founder and UK Managing Director

"While BPI has a clear focus on marketplaces and platforms, we expanded our focus into the fintech industry by concentrating on business models that require no or a minimum of regulated equity amount only."
The funding round was backed by Social Capital, Oxford Capital and 7percent Ventures.
"As a successful former headhunter I was placing senior executives, and I saw exceptional employees leaving work to have a baby and struggling to get back in. Firms passed on perfect candidates because they were uncomfortable with bespoke arrangements. I knew things had to change, and I wanted to be the driver of that change. Employees aren't asking for anything revolutionary, just to be able to work in the way that's most efficient and productive for them. Flexibility enables people to maximise their energy and skills, and that's a huge benefit for employers once they realise it. The investment we've secured is a vote of confidence in something we already know is true."
