Bled by BHL Holdings, the fresh capital will be used to double the UK workforce and invest in proprietary technology.
"The current pandemic has hit small businesses a lot harder than their larger, established counterparts. The economy is experiencing significant turbulence right now and the business landscape will be unrecognisable in a year's time. As a small business championing small businesses, this investment will speed up our ability to deliver bespoke insurance to underpin individual business needs. Helping businesses to not only weather this storm, but scale and thrive."
Passion Capital led the pre-seed round with backing from Seedcamp and notable tech founders.
"Having run a media company in a tough market with a young, millennial workforce, we witnessed first-hand how there was a complete lack of investment in helping this generation with their mental health in a way that they’re used to: a community product that is mobile-first and video-led. We want to make the world a happier place by making working on your mental health as normal as going to the gym."
The seed round was backed by Episode 1 Ventures, MMC Ventures and Seedcamp to support team expansion and product development.
"We are excited to be partnering with leading venture capital firms to create the placing experience the reinsurance community has dreamt of for decades. Paired with Riskbook's win-win-win philosophy, this new funding cements our role as a trusted independent provider to cedents, brokers and reinsurers alike."
The funding round was led by Mouro Capital with participation from existing backers and angel investors.
"Uncapped was born out of frustrations I faced launching and running my first business. I didn’t want to take financing from the banks because they all wanted personal guarantees. Venture capital wasn’t ideal either as I didn’t want to lose equity, so I repeatedly missed out on growth opportunities. With this further funding Uncapped is ideally positioned to help hundreds of more businesses across the UK and Europe grow to their full potential."
Balderton Capital led the Seed financing round with participation from Seedcamp and high-profile angel investors.
"For years, companies have been searching for ways to make office communications faster. Not just for when team members are working from home, but between teams on different floors, different offices or across time zones. None have quite managed to combine speed and efficiency with security and minimal disruption until now. Plus, the potential of Riff is huge. We’re only just scratching the surface of what such a communication tool can do and offer to companies and it’s an exciting road to be on."
