Episode 1 led the pre-seed round for the software discovery platform alongside Dreamcraft and Portfolio Ventures.

"We’ve spent our careers building startups, and we learned firsthand that a company’s success is tied to the technology it chooses. These decisions can make or break products, and often shape the long-term fate of an entire business. As seasoned engineering and data leaders, we’ve built tech infrastructure from the ground up, making tough, high-stakes calls along the way. We didn’t always get things right. Tech moves quickly, but there’s a lack of reliable, up-to-date guidance to make these critical decisions. That gap revealed a huge opportunity for us to help organisations unlock their true potential and embrace modern tools with confidence in the age of AI. We’re building Dragonfly to be the technology companion we always wished we had – one that empowers every company to make faster, better choices about the software they use to build and scale."
— Sven Sabas, Co-founder
Series A
£8.3M

Puma Growth Partners led the Series A financing with backing from several returning investors and angels.

"We couldn't be happier to be partnering with Puma on this opportunity. We have the team, the tech, the market size and therefore the opportunity to build a $bn business helping brands launch and scale in the world's largest ecommerce market. We needed an investor who matched YASO's ambitions, and we have found that in Puma. We are also delighted with the other co-investors, including the Seed investors, both VCs and Angels, who have been there since day 1, who backed us again in this round. We can't wait to take YASO to the next level!"

The seed round was led by Ada Ventures, Active Partners and Portfolio Ventures to support platform growth and tool development.

"The legal world is experiencing its own watershed moment. AI is completely redrawing who can access justice – but ordinary people are being left behind. We’re flipping this on its head by putting powerful, tailor-made legal tools directly into workers’ hands, not just those with deep pockets."
— Danae Shell, CEO and Co-Founder
