Our #HR #tech #startup is to be helped by the Sustainable Innovation Fund with an investment of £100,000.
We’ve got some exciting news to share!
As we can now ANNOUNCE that YourFLOCK is one of the companies to be funded by @innovateuk. As our #HR #tech will be helped by the Sustainable Innovation Fund.
1,103 projects, 1189 UK businesses totalling £130 million in support across the UK.
WHY so excited?
As with this funding Your FLOCK is now officially entering the Machine Learning sector!
After spending long hours working on submitting the application for the Sustainable Innovation Fund we’ve received an Offer Letter sponsoring Your FLOCK in taking our technology to the next level.
An AI level. Which we see as the future of technology especially when combined with psychology and human productivity. Which will direcly impact our society…
A lovely quote from Innovate UK Executive Chair Dr Ian Campbell here is:
“YourFLOCK.co.uk along with every initiative Innovate UK has supported through this fund, is an important step forward in driving sustainable economic development.
Each one is also helping to realise the ambitions of hard-working people.”
But WHY now? As Ian says…
“In these difficult times we have seen the best of British business #innovation. The pandemic is not just a health emergency but one that impacts society and the economy.”
So they see what I saw. That this piece of understanding and #tech will help the #futureofwork for this country. Just as our #HR #tech will be helped by the Sustainable Innovation Fund.
As we can start #recruiting and hiring more UK based talent.
We feel honored to be selected as we know how competitive these schemes get. This is a huge break for Your FLOCK as we have only pivoted our solution in June 2020 and this funding will significantly improve and accelerate our development.
With £100,000 from Innovate UK, we are now looking to find further £140,000 from private investment. We have already secured a commitment of £50,000 from GC Angels so we are now looking to raise the remaining £90,000 by the end f this year.
Your FLOCK is adding new personal development features to its Team Coach
Thanks to this investment we are now going to add the following new features to our remote working SAAS product:
- Machine Learning-based Team digital coach suggesting weekly activities to remote teams designed to improve their collective performance.
- New UX/Design of our platform.
- Team Leader dashboard allowing to quickly analyse team performance at a glance.
- Many more new activities and challenges on our platform designed to help you feel more motivated at work.
AND so … YourFLOCK is #recruiting.
