A Chester-based edtech startup which offers a safe social media experience for children has raised over £300,000 investment.
GoBubble, which was founded by award-winning e-safety pioneer Henry Platten, secured the funding through a select group of prominent investors, supported in part by Leeds-based investment non-profit NorthInvest.
Following a successful beta, GoBubble currently has users across 24 countries and in 26 US states. The GoBubble global community offers children, educators and families the opportunity to create and communicate in a safe digital space, with moderators ensuring that any unwanted content is removed before it appears.
The investment round includes several angel investors forming part of the NorthInvest community, including David Pearce, Rich Hannam, Chris Jones, Peter Laithwaite and Juan Santana Medina. Other investors joining the round include digital identity app founder, Robin Tombs of Yoti.
