Eric van der Kleij of Tech City Investment Organisation on Songkick securing a further round of funding from US start-up venture capital, Sequoia Capital…
Sequoia Capital’s USD10 million investment in Songkick is absolutely fantastic news, not only for the team at Songkick, but also for the London and UK start-up community. Securing funding from a top Silicon Valley VC firm is testament to the very high calibre team at Songkick, but also sends a clear signal that major international investors are increasingly recognising the UK and London’s ecosystem as a great place to headquarter high potential, venture-backed businesses.
Songkick’s founders, Ian, Michelle and Pete, are true champions of entrepreneurship. They’ve not only built up a company from a single attic office, but have pioneered initiatives like the annual Silicon Milkroundabout job fair that have helped showcase and fill hundreds of jobs in the Tech City community. It will certainly be an exciting year for the entire team at Songkick, and we look forward to celebrating their continued growth and success.
