"Rising care costs, an overstretched social care system, and the demands of daily life can leave families feeling guilty and stretched thin as they think about their elderly loved ones. That’s why I’m thrilled to back George and Alex as they build Gladys, a managed social care platform that makes it easy to find and book trusted caregivers and companions. Their mission is close to my heart: giving families peace of mind and helping everyone grow old with dignity, in the home they cherish, for as long as possible."

"This investment will have a huge impact on Assemble You and our mission, allowing us to tackle the widespread problem of disengaged employees head-on. Traditional digital training methods simply aren’t working, and we’re providing a solution that’s not only more engaging but also truly accessible to everyone, including deskless and neurodiverse workers. This funding will enable us to expand our content library, reach more learners, and ultimately create a more skilled and future-ready workforce."

"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"

"We’re looking forward to working with Theo, the founder of Slinger, a platform that addresses the UK’s hospitality worker shortage by connecting the UK’s 10.3 million frontline workers to Living Wage opportunities."

"The funding and support provided by Ufi Ventures will be instrumental in the continuing development of AutonoMe. Thanks to this investment, we will be able to accelerate our mission to empower people with learning disabilities and autism to find and retain meaningful employment as well as to live more independently."

"At MyPocketSkill we are passionate about supporting young people to develop the skills to become employable and the financial habits to become financially capable, which often go hand-in-hand. We are delighted that Ufi Ventures decided to join our investment round to support us on our journey and see strategic value in their investment. Our goal is to reach over a million young people in the next three years and this funding puts us well on target."

"Learner engagement and confidence levels within virtual learning environments far exceed more traditional e-learning and classroom settings. We are delighted to be supporting Metaverse Learning, as they broaden the programmes they offer, reaching more learners."

"The chronic skills shortage across all skilled trades presents a huge economic opportunity that is currently being missed due to a lack of visibility and outdated gender norms. We are delighted that Bethnal Green Ventures, Resolution Foundation and Ufi Ventures have invested in TaskHer to fuel the work we’re doing to tackle these social challenges"

"Pre-seed funding is a hugely exciting time for any start-up – it’s the launchpad from which the future can develop. Having the backing of industry heavyweights like Jason Foster gives me even more conviction in our mission to become the go to educator for data literacy amongst business users. Data-led, data-literate organisations are the future of business, and we are proud to be helping them and their employees get there."

"Candidates are now mobile-first. They are comparing their job search experience to Amazon, Booking.com and other online consumer experiences. Imagine if Booking.com redirected you to the hotel’s webpage to complete your booking – how frustrating an experience would that be?"

"We’re living a pivotal moment for the L&D industry and we have a unique opportunity to build the future of what it means to learn, to give everyone a chance to unlock their full potential and make the workplace more humane."
