Meetings and events start-up Headbox has raised £2 million,
bringing its total funding to £13.2 million, the company announced. HeadBox,
which is currently live in the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands and Australia, will
use the funds to launch in the US, according to the company.
Users can plan in-person, virtual, or hybrid events on the
platform, which offers about 9,000 venues across Europe. Clients have included
L'Oréal, Snap Inc and Skyscanner, according to the company's website. HeadBox
also noted that the business grew during 2020, and as live events are
returning, it has expanded its team from 28 to 52 people during the past three
months.
Deepbridge Capital, via the Deepbridge Technology Growth EIS
fund, led the funding round.
