The investment round was led by Zinal Growth with participation from Index Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Tony Fadell.
"We’ve been deeply impressed by the execution and vision of Bogdan and the Apron team. They have created a delightful product for both SMBs and accountants, and we are excited to continue supporting them on their journey."
Silverstripe led the Series A round with participation from Frontline Ventures, Guillaume Pousaz, and Brad Bao.
"We are thrilled to welcome Silverstripe to the Shackle story. It has been great to build a really strong relationship with the team, and their experience and track record in the finance and tech sector will supercharge our mission to revolutionise the hotel industry."
The investment round was led by Zinal Growth with participation from new and existing backers to support product development and team expansion.
"We started Pledge with the belief that technology can be a powerful lever in the fight against climate change,"
The financing round was supported by investors including Andreessen Horowitz and SoftBank to develop interoperable Web3 virtual spaces.
"We founded Improbable to make real the promise of incredible online worlds that were more than just games – they were extensions of our lives. I believe the metaverse and Web3 movement, though very early, represent a once-in-a-generation redefinition of our society towards a ‘fulfilment economy’ where experiences made by an open network of creators and businesses can create enormous opportunity for everyone. M² is our contribution to establishing this future and we hope to help our partners catalyse an open metaverse with many participants and success stories. We are excited to be actively working with some of the best investors in the space in building out this new ecosystem."
Visionaries Club led the seed round with backing from Lowercarbon Capital, Breyer Capital, and Zinal Growth.
"Currently, no easy and scalable way exists for companies of any size to understand and remove their emissions. Traditional carbon measurement and offsetting solutions are costly and difficult to implement and so only accessible to a restricted group of larger companies. We started Pledge to enable any company to launch high quality and verified climate products in the easiest and fastest way possible. Our mission is to raise climate awareness and empower businesses to accelerate their net zero transition, becoming a positive contributor to the current crisis."
