Its focus on tackling the 'poverty premium' not only works to improve financial resilience, but also solve critical challenges for employers. Stream's dedication to understanding and improving their products' impact on users enables greater positive outcomes and propels their strong commercial growth, and we look forward to the impact this funding will support."

"This round is a strong endorsement of our progress and our mission to modernise transport management. Since our Series A we’ve grown revenue, customers and team at an exceptional pace, while remaining highly capital efficient. The Series B funding allows us to continue investing and grow the team so that we can keep offering the same level of customer service."
Sofina led the round with participation from OMERS Ventures and Index Ventures to accelerate growth in the UK and Europe.
"With millions of clinical data points collected each month, we plan on deriving personalised and predictive insights to enable a value-based healthcare delivery model. This latest investment, just over one year from the last round, is not only a validation of Birdie’s growth trajectory, but also an endorsement for the potential of our social impact."

"The vast majority of Gen Zers in the US are living from paycheque to paycheque. It’s harder than ever for them to get ahead – particularly as the price of everything continues to increase – and yet this audience continues to be neglected, or worse, exploited, by the traditional financial services industry."
