"At the heart of our industry is an inherent value exchange between advertiser and consumer, and I’m on a mission to harness that value as a significant force for good. Through our respectful, positive ad platform, brands can treat people online as partners — rather than targets — united by a desire to have a meaningful social impact. Backing from industry experts like QCM and FirstPartyCapital, social impact investors and, indeed, the general public, will help to supercharge our growth whilst keeping us true to our values at every step along the way."
Par Equity led the Series A round with participation from Mercia, Triplepoint, SIS Ventures, Scottish Enterprise and the MacLeod Family Trust.
"Our technology is already making a significant impact within counter terror and child sexual abuse investigations in the UK, and we're excited to build on this momentum in mainland Europe and the US. We've built a great network of partners to support our ambitious growth plans, and our team will double in size during each of the next two years to support this growth."
The funding round was led by Mercia and will support the firm in progressing its multi-cancer diagnostic programmes.
"Worldwide, 26,000 people die from cancer each day. Early detection is critical for effective treatment, but many cancers go undetected for too long. This funding is another significant step forward for ClinSpec Dx in our mission to detect cancer earlier and help to increase patient survival and quality of life."
The ethical video platform has raised £1.2m from backers including You & Mr Jones to grow its commercial team.
"This round of funding will help Good-Loop to further our mission of connecting people, brands and good causes around the world. Bringing You and Mr Jones and our other investors into the business at this stage will add a huge amount of value above and beyond cash as we prepare to scale up our operations. With industry luminaries like David Jones supporting us, we’ll be well positioned to deliver innovative marketing technology, industry-leading social insight and truly impactful brand purpose."
