Ufi Ventures invests in technology companies focused on skills and the future of work.
Fuel Ventures led the pre-seed round, which will fund product development, marketing, and team expansion.
"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 investment from Ufi Ventures will fund platform enhancements and broader access to the company support programme.
"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."
Ufi Ventures backs the teen finance platform as part of its latest investment round.
"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."
The investment was supported by backers including Ufi Ventures.
"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 pre-seed round was backed by Bethnal Green Ventures, Resolution Foundation and Ufi Ventures.
"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all skilled trades presents a huge economic opportunity that is currently being missed due to a lack of visibility and outdated gender norms.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"
