Takumi is a London- and Reykjavík-based marketing platform that connects brands to Instagram micro-influencers and provides an influencer-first managed service. Its mobile app (iOS/Android) allows approved Instagram users with 1,000 to 200,000 followers to browse brand “gigs”, choose campaigns, and post paid-for content with their own creative spin. The company works with over 300 brands and agencies across Europe and the US and has handled over 10,000 influencer posts for more than 600 campaigns. Co-founded in 2015 by Mats Stigzelius, Solberg Audunsson and Gummi Eggertsson, Takumi plans to use the Series A proceeds to expand in the US and globally and to further develop its product. Planned product development aims to enable a wider range of campaign options and in-depth campaign reporting. Financially, Takumi closed a $4M (£3.2M) Series A after previously raising $3.1M (£2.5M) in seed funding.
