42,422 | 18/04/2024 12:00 PM | Kota partners with Vitality to expand its benefits software | kota-partners-with-vitality-to-expand-its-benefits-software | 18/04/2024 | Irish SaaS Kota, which provides automation software for companies, has partnered with health insurer Vitality to expand their benefits software so that companies and employees can manage their health insurance packages. HR and Finance teams will be able to view and manage Vitality group medical schemes within the Kota system, alongside the other plans available for their teams across different countries. The extension of Kota’s existing integrations in the UK makes its platform a comprehensive health and retirement benefits solution for companies operating across the UK and Ireland. They have also announced that their systems can be integrated with HR systems to automate the flow of employee data, removing the manual processes of onboarding and offboarding team members. Kota raised 5M in October in a round led by EQT Ventures with a plan to secure healthcare and embedded finance capabilities within the app. Co-Founder and CEO Luke Mackey commented: “We are delighted to announce the extension of our offering with Vitality as part of our further expansion into the UK and European market. For too long HR Managers and employees have had to deal with frustrating and cumbersome processes to enable easy access to core benefits. We have been working closely with Vitality to deliver a powerful employer and employee experience that changes the game for benefits management. Kota is the first to market with its one-stop hub, which empowers remote and distributed companies to control their benefits and protect their teams in one place.” Liam Kennedy, Director of Key Accounts at Vitality, said: “We’re pleased to be partnering with Kota, making it easier for businesses who have the platform to access and update their Vitality health insurance. Through our insurance, organisations can have access to a wide range of health and wellbeing support to enable them to prioritise and positively impact employee health and the productivity of their workforce, alongside providing access to healthcare when they need it.” |

Almost four in ten translators (36%) said they’ve already lost work due to generative AI. Nearly half of them (43%) said the tech has decreased their income. They fear far worse is to come. Over three-quarters of translators (77%) believe GenAI will negatively impact future income from their creative work. The survey was conducted by the Society of Authors (SoA), the UK’s largest trade union for translators, writers, and illustrators. SoA said the livelihoods of translators are at risk.

Financial terms of the deal are undisclosed. Konvi, Diversified and Fractible facilitate investment in luxury items such as fine wines, whiskeys, watches and vintage cars with a minimum investment of €250 in the hope that they will appreciate over time. French shoppers buy more luxury items than any other nation, and both acquired companies lead in France, opening up a key market for Konvi. Items available to invest in also include artwork; Konvi recently partnered with art collectors TGB Contemporary to offer users the opportunity to invest in Banksy pieces. The partnership enables users to access pieces that would usually require significant capital and a broad network of collectors and auction houses to be able to make a purchase. Under the acquisition, all current investments on Diversified and Fractible will automatically transfer to the Konvi app in April. Co-founder and CEO Eran Peer commented:

Although it's too early in the year to determine if these trends will persist, there is cautious optimism regarding deal activity and fundraising, while exit markets are expected to remain restrained. VC deal activityAccording to the report, in Q1 2024 the total deal value increased 19.1 per cent year-over-year, reaching a total value of €16.3 billion. On the other side, the deal count decreased in Q1, compared both to the previous quarter and year which might indicate a shift towards quality within the market, thus having less transactions but with valuations that are more resilient. In Q1 2024, the deal value from mega-rounds (deals valued at €100 million or more) remained robust, reaching €8.2 billion across 18 transactions, nearly half the total mega-round value seen in 2023. In Europe overall, early-stage deals accounted for the majority of both deal volume and value in the first quarter, backed by sizable transactions like the one that had H2 Green Steel, Monzo and Mistral AI in Q1 2024. Share of VC deal by region In the first quarter of 2024, although the UK retained a significant portion of the deal count in Europe, its share of deal value decreased to 17.3 per cent. Meanwhile, regions like the Nordics and France & Benelux saw an increase in deal value, showcasing resilience year-over-year. In France & Benelux, this resilience was supported by the deals within robust sectors like AI, fintech, and cleantech (which in 2023 got a notable chance for growth due to structural demand supported by regulation). Consequently, these sectors, along with the region itself, hosted some of the top transactions in Q1, including investments in companies like Mistral AI, Picnic, and Electra. VC deal activity for female-founded companiesDeal activity for female-founded companies had a weaker start compared to the previous year, with a deal value of €1.9 billion which makes a decrease of 28.6 per cent year-over-year. The female-founded share of European deal value slightly declined to 21.8 per cent in the quarter. All-female-founded companies represented only 4.1 per cent of deal value in Q1 2024. While all-female-founded deals tend to be smaller in size, female-founded exits appeared more buoyant, with €1.3 billion in exit value in Q1 (which is half of the 2023 full-year level). Despite the growth in female-led industries like femtech, there remains a significant disparity between female-founded activity and the wider ecosystem, suggesting potential for growth in female-founded companies. VC exit activityIn the first quarter of 2024, exit activity showed little improvement from 2023, with most exits being acquisitions and European public listings remaining inactive. The current exit activity suggests a potential 46.4 per cent decrease year-over-year if the trend continues. IPO activity in 2024 has been divided, with private equity-backed companies showing more resilience than venture capital-backed ones. Profitability remains a key focus for public equities in Europe, contrasting with the US market's tolerance for unprofitable tech companies. Outside of public listings, as stated, it appears that the exits taking place (acquisitions and buyouts) are being done at lower valuations. |

Ingmar Klein was at university in Switzerland when he began to envision a solution for his peers, who were attempting to balance studying with part time jobs and running societies. Student societies aren’t just a surefire way to forge identities, friendships and an unhealthy attachment to threadbare merchandise; increasingly, they’re a key conduit of work experience that propels members on to prestigious graduate jobs. Societies run on volunteers who juggle a bundle of incompatible systems. They stretch across Whatsapp for comms, Facebook for events, Google Forms to solicit feedback, Instagram for promotion and email for outreach. Ideas can’t get off the ground, events go unattended and committees burn out. The labour of building communities around Venture Capital, Neuroscience, Foreign Affairs gets distilled into unverifiable lines on a CV. To solve this, Klein and co-founder Parham Rakshanfar built Huzzle, a social hub to connect communities of young professionals with each other and with employers. In his words? “Like LinkedIn, but less cringe.” You log into Huzzle as either an individual, society or employer. Committees can use the platform to organise and promote events, connect with others and reach out to companies for sponsorship, speaking events or showcases. It has onboarded 600 societies so far, testament to candidates and recruiters' mutual urge to ditch the exhaustive application funnel for a more sustained, authentic relationship. The site integrates a ChatGPT API that tailors students’ applications to specific jobs. “Most applications never get read.” Klein says. “You have to game the system. We’re trying to get you into that upper quartile where someone reads the application.” He moved to London to launch the company there due to the pivotal role of societies within its university ecosystem: the UK hosts 10,000 of them, and many institutions have paid sabbatical officers who manage them. Klein isn’t the first founder to convert his dissatisfaction with online spaces into motivation to rewire them; Alexandra de Brunner’s The Ethos Network, an app where young people connect and mobilise over shared social causes, has raised $1.9M so far. Invesors often run from the suggestion of a social media investment due to the moderation challenges that scaling presents, the ironclad market share of incumbent social giants and unclear paths to profitability, but increasing disillusionment with social media among young people offers an opportunity to disrupt. The round was led by 10X Founders alongside several angel investors including Verena Pausder, Chairwoman of the German Startup Association, Leon Szeli, the Founder of Presize and Alexander Mrozek, a former Global Product Lead at Google. |

Surfactants play a pivotal role in everyday products such as shampoo, toothpastes, cosmetics, inks, paints, agrochemicals, food and feed and even construction materials. Over 20 million tonnes of surfactants are produced every year, of which the vast majority are relying heavily on fossil and or palm oil feedstocks and are produced using harsh traditional chemical manufacturing processes. Amphistar produces microbial biosurfactants from locally sourced waste from the agri-food industry and supermarket food waste and uses mild and safe biological processes, similar to brewing beer, to produce them. The funding will expedite collaborations with external partners to produce and develop AmphiStar’s biosurfactants. The team has industrial and start-up experience across synthetic biology, process development, scale up, formulation and commercialization. AmphiStar’s Sophie Roelants commented: “AmphiStar will revolutionize the surfactant market. We have developed a unique platform technology and are the only company in the (bio)surfactant space successfully combining a set of different key technologies: waste- and side stream technologies, synthetic biology, bioprocessing, purification and scaling expertise. "With this capital injection and extended support of these prominent investors we will bring our unique waste based biosurfactant products to market and aim to make biosurfactants mainstream. We have had a first market introduction of one of our waste based biosurfactants with Ecover last year, showcasing the performance, safety and sustainability of our waste based sophorolipids. We are looking for more sustainable partnerships and are open to collaborate. We are also looking for enthousiastic new talent to strengthen our team.” |

42,408 | 18/04/2024 04:00 AM | Bypassing the boys' club: UK startup Tangle levels the playing field for tech job applicants. | bypassing-the-boys-club-uk-startup-tangle-levels-the-playing-field-for-tech-job-applicants | 18/04/2024 | It's a harsh reality that the world runs on warm introductions, from getting a meeting with a potential investor to finding customers or your next co-founder. But now, a UK startup is making it just that much easier for people to improve their lot in life. Tangent, a London-based technology startup, has closed a $1.1 million Pre-Seed round to bolster social mobility in tech. Founded by LinkedIn and EE alumni Gary Izunwa and Joe Adams, Tangent is a platform that connects jobseekers from low socioeconomic backgrounds with employees in tech for mentoring and employee referrals. I spoke to CEO Gary Izunwa to learn more. According to Izunwa:
Izuma noted that he ticked lots of the “less privileged boxes when he was younger” but became more socially mobile after joining LinkedIn:
Izunwa grew up in a low-income, single-parent household in London. He started his Career as one of nine Associates on LinkedIn’s competitive Business Leadership Programme. After completing the programme, Izunwa joined the Talent Solutions sales team, where he sold LinkedIn’s recruiting solutions to companies. He was one of the top performers in the EMEA/LATAM region. Seeking a more purposeful career, Gary quit his six-figure LinkedIn job, took an 80 per cent salary reduction, and moved to the British Council to lead social mobility programmes. But not long after starting, he learned that the government/charity sector had too much bureaucracy and red tape and was not the place for him to have a real global impact. Thus, the idea of Tangent was born. Tangent’s public launch comes at a time where recent data reports that only 9 per cent of all UK tech employees come from low socioeconomic backgrounds (Yes, you read that right), despite making up 39 per cent of the total UK population (Tech Talent Charter, 2024). This is even worse than in finance and legal industries, where 29 and 23 per cent of employees, respectively, come from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Izunwa revealed :
Starting with entry-level tech sales roles (B/SDRs), the Tangent platform connects jobseekers directly with employees from London’s leading tech employers, including Stripe, Amazon, and Revolut, who offer mentoring, advice, and referrals to Tangent’s pool of socially diverse talent. Job seekers submit a short video pitch on the platform about why they want to work in tech sales. Following this, potential mentors can view their videos or contact mentors directly. According to Izunwa:
This means once someone successfully gains employment through the referral service, they will already have a champion in their new workplace. “You’ll have someone who you can ask all the silly questions to, who’s quick to help.” Potential mentors could include Sales Process Development Representatives, account executives and managers, enterprise account executives, and customer success managers. Tangent’s founders met during Zinc VC’s Venture Builder, a 12-month program for mission-led founders. The investment round included participation from Zinc VC, Google Black Founders Fund, and the Syndicate Room. Key angel investors include Leonard Picardo (#2 employee at Deliveroo), Catherine Lenson (prior to her move to Phoenix Court Group), Andrew Robb (former COO at FarFetch), and more, as well as Scouts from Atomico and Ada Ventures. “Tangent sits at the heart of Zinc’s thesis of building commercial solutions to solve the world's most pressing problems. We’ve been inspired by the progress that Gary and Joe have achieved in a short space of time and are excited to continue to partner with them on the next phase of their journey,” said Ella Goldner, General Partner at Zinc VC. During Zinc’s Venture Builder the pair launched their MVP and sold enterprise solutions to companies including Multiverse and GoCardless. Co-founder & CPO Joe Adams points to Tangent’s early traction as a clear indication of tech’s affinity for hiring through referrals.
One of Tangle's biggest points of traction is that as users of the scheme advance in their careers, they can act as mentees for people who follow them. This is how you scale a scheme for the greater good. Lead image: Tangle. Photo: uncredited. |
