- UrFuture
Participated · Seed · Apr 2026
Urfuture develops a social-first hiring platform that replaces traditional CV screening by using behavioural science and AI-driven matching to connect Gen Z entry-level candidates with employers. Founded in 2023 by Tom Keighley, Jayel Williams and Holly Hobbs, the app launched in late 2025 and has been downloaded over 50,000 times and seen more than 160 million social views. The platform has gathered 2.4 million behavioural data points to refine its matching engine and is used by employers including Tesco, British Airways, West Midlands Police and Scottish Power Electricity North West. Early outcomes reported include notable improvements in candidate diversity for clients (one employer saw diverse applicants rise from 8% to 47%). With £1.7M in seed funding, Urfuture plans to launch a white-label behavioural profiling and screening tool, roll out a self-serve product for SMEs, and grow its sales, marketing and engineering teams to scale adoption.

Participated · Seed · Oct 2022
Unfolded, led by CEO Cally Russell and based in Edinburgh, offers a platform that creates clothes without waste by involving shoppers in the design process and producing only after orders are placed. The company has built a factory-to-consumer supply chain in partnership with logistics firms, enabling it to bypass traditional inventory-heavy models. This on-demand approach aims to be both sustainable and ethical, reducing excess stock and associated environmental impact. Since launch, Unfolded has attracted more than 10,000 customers across the United Kingdom. The firm plans to broaden its operations and reach following its recent capital infusion. With its growing user base and unique production model, Unfolded is positioning itself as a next-generation apparel producer focused on sustainability and efficiency.
