The investment was backed by Ufi Ventures and existing investor TwinklHive to support product development and international growth.
"We are delighted to be able to provide further support to Fabrio. Jay, Anirudh and team have worked hard over the past 18 months to successfully launch Fabrio into schools and universities and we are excited to follow them on the next stage of their journey"
The London-based childcare service closed its pre-seed round to support expansion into Brighton and wider UK markets.
"At GrandNanny, we see the value that age diversity brings to children and their families. We are proud to be backed by leading investors who understand and support our vision. Their financial support and expert advice is already proving invaluable."
The seed round was led by PactVC with backing from prominent figures in the food delivery and real estate sectors.
"In a world where we take Ubers and watch Netflix, we’ve accepted cooking as the norm for too long. Building on the success of food delivery apps, we are introducing a step change in how we eat. We transform high-order-volume restaurants into delivery powerhouses by making it very easy for them to scale through our satellite kitchen network. With technology and data at their fingertips, our restaurant partners are becoming fully delivery optimised, providing a consistent, affordable experience to their customers, in a sustainable way and in an environment where employees actually want to come to work,"
TwinklHive backs digital wellbeing platform Champion Health as demand rises during remote working.
"We have seen a significant increase in demand since the lockdown in the UK began. Employee wellbeing is now at the forefront of business leaders minds. There has definitely been a shift in attitude towards workplace health in the past 3 months and we can only see the need becoming greater. Businesses have been coming to us specifically seeking online tools and advice to support their employees as they work remotely. Due to home working, many employers are finding it difficult to spot the warning signs of their team members struggling and may not be equipped with how they can support them."
