Series B
£31.0M

The Series B round was led by NordicNinja to support nationwide expansion and platform development.

"Parcel delivery should feel seamless, not stressful, but most of the industry is still running on systems that were never designed for ecommerce. At HIVED, we’ve taken a fresh approach – rethinking everything from first principles, putting technology and experience at the centre, and proving there’s a better way to do this at scale. This raise is a huge step forward in making great delivery the norm, not the exception."
— Murvah Iqbal, Co-founder
£5.1M

The funding round was led by Planet A with participation from several institutional investors and angels.

"AUAR is building a global, automated construction ecosystem for sustainable, affordable, and beautiful homes at scale, designed to plug into the way builders already work. By enabling the industry to build together, powered by robotics and artificial intelligence, we’re not just offering a new tool – we’re unlocking new possibilities for how homebuilders can grow, innovate, and deliver at scale."
— Mollie Claypool, Co-Founder and CEO
Seed
$3.5M

Connect Ventures led the seed round to help integrate climate change into financial modelling.

— Cameron Hepburn, Professor of Environmental Economics at the University of Oxford
