As digital collaboration app uptake soars, UK startup gruup bags £300K funding: Here’s what they do

While the whole world is facing the wrath of the COVID-19 pandemic, people are using innovative ways to stay connected. Various companies that have always practiced brick-and-mortar culture are now leaning towards software tools to increase productivity and effective online collaborations. 

Raised £300K funding

Right now, there are so many collaboration tools available online, and one such is gruup, a digital collaboration platform. Recently, the company raised £300K funding led by Pitchdrive, along with other private investors. The funding will be used to drive company growth in 2021, including marketing, tech development, and recruitment.

On the investment, co-founder Simon Prince says: “We’re on a mission to change the way businesses share ideas. Today, more than ever, teams need help collaborating so that their impact isn’t diluted by PowerPoint then lost in email or Slack.”

Allow teams work better together

gruup was born out of the problems faced by remote individuals across the creative industries when working on joint projects. 

Founded by the former PowWowNow CMO Simon Prince and Leed Collective CEO Darryll Bayes, gruup enables individuals to bring together their digital work across various channels – including Office and Google Docs, Imagery, and online assets such as YouTube video.

Simon Prince adds, “In a new digital world, where the face to face continues to be an uncertain option, gruup is here to help businesses ensure their best ideas are shared, understood, and ultimately have the impact they deserve.”

The company’s platform also allows users to create personalised and dynamic presentations, saving hours of previously wasted time. 

Pitchdrive founder Thomas Wilkinson adds: “gruup helps anyone wishing to collaborate, create, and present content online in times where we are all required to work apart.

“We selected gruup as our first revenue-generating startup investment because we firmly believe in its concept of powering unlimited creativity and their mission to be the number one software tool for the industry.”
