The funding round was led by Puma Growth Partners and will support expansion across the UK, Europe, Japan and the US.
"Offering pickup at checkout is key to accelerating the shift to out-of-home delivery, and HubBox has been leading the charge for nearly a decade as the market leader in this space. Now, as demand for HubBox from couriers, retailers and shoppers continues to surge, we’re expanding our investment in people and software to meet it."
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!"
Puma Growth Partners has led a £3.5m investment into legal and financial technology specialist Semeris.
"We’re thrilled to partner with Puma Growth Partners and independent investors as we embark on this exciting next chapter for Semeris. Their investment will accelerate our expansion beyond CLOs and ABS/MBS into other asset classes and document types, such as credit agreements in leveraged loans and private credit, equipping structured finance professionals with AI-powered tools that drastically reduce turnaround times and tackle challenges previously out of reach. With Puma’s support, we’re advancing our mission to revolutionise legal documentation, delivering superhuman powers, unmatched precision, and clarity, while paving the way for smarter, more efficient finance workflows."
