Fuzey, a London, UK-based platform that centralizes small businesses’ communications, payments, marketing, and calendars, raised €4m ($4.5M / £3.4M) in seed funding.
The round was led by Nordic venture capital firm byFounders, with participation from Flash Ventures (which led the startup’s pre-seed round), Global Founders Capital, Ascension, and prominent business angels Stephane Kurgan (Venture Partner at Index Ventures) and Sheel Tyle (Founder and CEO of Amplo VC). In conjunction with the funding, byFounders investor Sara Rywe and Flash Ventures Partner Lorenzo Franzi have joined Fuzey’s board of the Fuzey.
The company will use this funding to grow its team and expand into new markets across Europe and North America.
