Restoration Partners, the London-based technology-focused merchant bank, has secured start-up funding for We Are Briqs. A member of the Restoration Alpha Angels network, who is an experienced and successful investor in Fintech companies, has provided the backing.
We Are Briqs delivers white-label, plug-and-play solutions for retail banking. Their products create safe and rich personal experiences, and allow for more meaningful brand engagement. Solutions include digital identity verification, a micro-charity donations platform and digital "jam jars" to encourage financial planning and saving.
Lee Travers, CEO, We Are Briqs, says: "We are operating in an extremely fast-moving environment and we need access to good advice and financial backing to continue our phenomenal growth to date. We were very happy to work with Restoration Partners and their Alpha Angels Network to secure such a positive outcome."
Mike Kennedy (pictured), Managing Partner of Restoration Partners, adds: "We Are Briqs is an excellent example of the type of company we enjoy working with – innovative and entrepreneurial with a strategy and products that investors are interested in. Although the environment for fundraising for start-up and early-stage companies remains challenging, we believe that the opportunities are there for the right type of company."
