London-based Hey Savi, a new fashion search and recommendation platform, has secured £2.2M (approximately €2.61M) in a pre-seed round of funding. According to the startup, this funding round is one of the largest pre-seed raises by an all-female-founded UK tech startup.
Hey Savi is backed by an “industry-leading” advisory board featuring Gareth Jones, CMO at Sotheby’s and former CMO at eBay and Farfetch, Robin Sutara, Chief Data Officer at Databricks and former Chief Data Officer at Microsoft, and Richard Goold, Partner at Wilson Sonsini.
Victoria Peppiatt, co-founder and co-CEO of Hey Savi, says, “The response to our raise has been phenomenal.”
“The huge support we’ve received from high-profile investors, including well-respected angels from Boardwave, Founders Capital and the WITSEND community, has both validated the potential of our product and reaffirmed the market opportunity. On top of which, we are incredibly proud of the fact that 54 per cent of our investors are female.”
