Automation provider Autto has raised $1m in funding through a combination of UK government grant funds, angel investment and participation from UK legal platform Tangible.
The funding will be used to evolve the London firm’s SaaS platform, which is designed to deliver simple automation.
The funds will also fuel further research, in partnership with the University of Exeter, into the adoption of ‘lawtech’.
Autto’s technology is designed to automate routine tasks, enabling staff, and is targeted at professional sector organisations keen to embrace emerging technologies.
Ian Gosling, CEO and co-founder of Autto said, “This funding announcement is a huge milestone in Autto’s journey. It signifies a growing appetite for our solution and an affirmation of the need for simple-to-implement technologies in the workplace.
“We have great ambitions for the company and this funding will help us to expand our capabilities and help our customers on their automation journeys.”
Robert Reynolds, Founder & CEO at Tangible added: “Autto provides a simple yet effective solution to the needs of our internal and external clients.”
Co-founders Ian Gosling, Max Cole and Krisztián Kerék have sustained interest from angel investors led by serial technology angel, Sean Phelan, demonstrating a continued confidence in the success of Autto.
New investment from Tangible was secured after the company trialled Autto’s solution on existing Fortune 500 clients.
“We’ve seen first-hand the benefits derived from the creation of its workflows, and we wanted to play a part in its future development.”
“Autto provides organisations with a dynamic platform to automate the necessary to enable the exceptional. To drive adoption, Tangible will be building out a library of workflows (what we call Catalysts) and launching them into the market in the coming months in partnership with Autto.
“We are excited about the possibilities of working with Autto to help drive the next stage of its journey.”
