Blackfinch celebrates investments totalling £17m ahead of tax-year deadline
The team behind Gloucester-based Blackfinch Ventures EIS Portfolios and the Blackfinch Spring VCT has completed 12 investments ahead of the tax-year-end deadline. This included £5 million into three new companies:
Futr, Placed and Measure Protocol.
Futr enables organisations such as police forces, local councils and financial institutions to enhance their customer service functions through a set of simple-to-deploy no-code artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning tools. The platform enables AI-powered conversations across multiple communication channels, including Facebook, WhatsApp and Slack, and can translate conversations into 120 languages in real-time. Futr also learns from historical datasets, meaning new customers see value in the accuracy of the platform almost immediately.
