Flavia Richardson
CCO
Flavia founded Acclivity Ventures and serves as a venture partner at Plutus Investment Group, alongside roles advising the European Commission. She previously held the position of CCO at Velocity Juice.
LinkedInThe funding round was led by Redrice, Joyance Partners, Velocity Juice, and angel investors.
"For so many women, their intimate skin is an afterthought, only prioritised when there is a ‘problem’ and they’re forced to use outdated feminine hygiene products which have ‘what’s wrong with her?’ associations."
The seed financing round was backed by Active Partners and existing investors including Ascension.
"This new round of funding caps off an amazing year for Plend. Since launching our first affordable credit product to consumers this year, we have been able to help so many people get access to the money they need to get on with their lives at affordable and fair rates. We are thrilled to be working with our newest investment partners to provide a truly ethical alternative to the broken credit scoring system that locks so many people out of the market, especially during these times of economic turbulence and rising interest rates."
