Oxford Innovation Finance's Angel Network has backed Aura in a £560k seed round to expand its digital funeral planning platform.
"Aura has a mission to encourage the conversation about death within families instead of shying away from it. Built on the personal experiences of our Founder and Chairman Paul Jameson, Aura exists to ensure everyone can make a plan to look after their families when they are gone whilst embracing every bit of life while they are here. Our platform creates a society where planning for death is embraced and supported with the power of connection and compassion, redefining funeral planning and delivery. This investment will enable us to develop our solution to end-of-life planning and support that’s really changing lives."
Oxford Innovation Finance's Angel Network backed the round, which will fund technology development and commercial pilots.
"As global temperatures rise and many parts of the world have recorded their hottest summers yet in 2023, there is an increasing need to find net zero cooling solutions to regulate temperatures in indoor environments. Our proprietary smart coating technology can make a significant impact as a sustainable, low carbon solution for temperature regulation. This latest investment will help us to propel our technology development, scale up manufacturing capabilities and complete commercial pilots that will allow us to bring our first products to market within the next two years."
The round was led by Beringea and backed by several prominent investors to accelerate market expansion.
"We are excited to welcome onboard some of the industry's leading investors as part of this fundraise and to have them support us on our mission to expand our market reach and help build better places. Commonplace is not only helping developers in gathering real-time feedback and public opinion, but also to reach those communities who wouldn't normally interact with application proposals. Boosting participation in community projects will empower positive engagement and help to build better cities and communities."
