SFC Capital is a London-based venture capital firm investing in early-stage UK companies with high growth potential.
SFC Capital and angel investors backed the pre-seed round to support team growth and product development.
"There is no 'one size fits all' answer when it comes to managing your finances. What should I do with my savings? What’s the difference between good debt and bad? A lot of young people we talked to felt there was a lot of information out there but it lacked context on their financial situation and advice on what tangible actions they should take."
Sticky Connections secures seed investment from SFC Capital to scale its contactless sticker technology.
"We make branded stickers that make tasks like check in, ordering food/drink and safety inspections as quick and simple as a contactless payment. We give businesses everything they need to solve problems in physical spaces, take payments and build better relationships with their customers. Our goal is to redefine how people interact with the world around them without them having to download an app or create an account."
The Bristol based startup raised the capital from SFC Capital, grant awards, and other investors to commercialise its volumetric video technology.
"Our technology aims to bridge real and virtual worlds by enabling broadcasters to record live events as volumetric video and instantly stream them to viewers. Our initial focus has been on recording sports, in particular boxing, so to be working on this project with BT, one of the biggest boxing broadcasters in the world, is a huge opportunity. At a time when many sporting events cannot be viewed in stadiums, enhancing the communal viewing experience in the comfort of your own home is more timely than ever. We see a bright future for volumetric video, with modern augmented and virtual reality technology providing consumers with the necessary hardware to enjoy volumetric content to its fullest. This hardware continues to improve at a staggering rate, and the mooted launch of an Apple AR headset in 2022 could see adoption explode."

SFC Capital has provided pre-seed backing to help GitLive launch the full commercial version of its developer collaboration platform.
"Discussing code is hard, especially when having to copy and paste snippets into Slack or Microsoft Teams. Turning the IDE into a collaborative workspace by making work-in-progress code available for discussion and collaboration, GitLive is all about encouraging teamwork and increasing developer productivity."
The seed round was led by SFC Capital and will fund the continued development of the company technology.
"Novai’s innovative combination of technology and biomedicine represents the future of preventative care, with the potential to make a massive difference for anyone who might suffer from degenerative diseases in the future. The founders have assembled an extraordinary team of experts and advisors, and we are pleased to be supporting them as they continue to prove the capabilities of the technology and grow the company. We’re excited to see what they achieve next."
