The Series B round was led by Repeat with participation from RTP Global and Latitude to support product growth and international expansion.
"Since our Series A raise we’ve grown steadily as interest in Yonder’s offering for young people has snowballed. We’ve capitalised on our momentum to raise this significant funding round, which will help to fund some monumental milestones in Yonder’s journey."
The pre-seed round was led by a consortium including Seedcamp, Concept Ventures, RTP Global, C2V, and FJ Labs.
"Machines break down on average 600 hours every year, and the current manual processes to get them operational again are inefficient and time-consuming. Each machine can have between 50 to 200 documents attached, and with dealerships handling up to 1,000 machines annually, pinpointing issues can be a daunting task. Our platform ingests all manuals, enabling us to access the right documents and provide solutions in seconds rather than days. This significantly reduces downtime and recovers lost revenue."
The Series A round was led by Khosla Ventures and Nat Friedman to support the development of proprietary foundation models.
"I truly believe that AI has the ability to reshape design and influence the way that we look at the world. Recraft was created to meet the requirements of professional design, generating consistent style images and high-quality vector illustrations suitable for everything from advertising and digital marketing assets to iconography. And the development of our Foundation Model will enable us to improve the quality and consistency of the AI-generated graphic design."
The financing comprises £12.5m in equity and £50m in debt, valuing the business at over £70m.
"We are thrilled to continue to be part of the Yonder journey as young professionals eagerly seek a cutting-edge digital credit card that delivers not only enhanced customer convenience but also genuine relevance. Yonder addresses this need by establishing an exclusive membership club for a community of like-minded individuals. The impressive early engagement metrics are a testament to the exceptional potential Yonder holds."
