Revealed - the investors behind eMoov's £2.25m funding injection
Thursday, October 8, 2015
An entrepreneurial website has revealed the investors behind this month's crowdfunding success by online agency eMoov.
Episode 1 Ventures and Maxfield Capital Partners - two existing large scale investors in eMoov - have been joined by Swiss venture capital firm Startive Ventures in putting additional funding into the high-profile online estate agency.
eMoov recently attracted over £2.25m in new investment through crowdfunding platform Crowdcube.
The Grow Business website has revealed that Episode 1 and Maxfield Capital have contributed £500,000 and £300,000 respectively with Startive investing £250,000. On top of that, London-based 'funding accelerator' firm Seedcamp has invested £50,000.
Over 630 investors put in between £10 and £500,000 each in the crowdfunding round, which was extended beyond its original deadline because of the scale of investor interest.
The website says Episode 1, Maxfield Capital and Seedcamp were all part of a multi-million pound fundraising earlier this year.
Since eMoov first sought investment in 2013 - when it received seed funding from ex-Dragon's Den entrepreneur James Caan - the company’s turnover has increased from £965,619 to an estimated £1.8m.
eMoov is forecasting turnover in 2018 to be in excess of £39m largely driven by growth in the online sector, a new lettings proposition, upselling and global expansion.
We were really impressed by Kremer Signs and how quickly they could get our boards printed and delivered to our board movement providers. All the staff that we dealt with are extremely friendly. I worked closely with Ryan Little and Sam Collins - both very helpful and quick at responding. Thank you for your help - we are super happy with our boards from Kremer Signs.

Great customer service
The process of ordering boards for my company New Door Real Estate was so easy from the get go with Kremer Signs! I was kept informed every step of the way by Nick and Ryan and I really couldn't fault them. Great customer service and the quality of the boards is brilliant. We're really happy with them!

Delivered in great time
Just wanted to say a big thank you to Kremer Signs (especially Ryan Little) for getting me set up with my dream for sale signs. As a very new independent estate agent, I was reassured with the great customer service and the fact I was looked after from start to finish. Really happy with the finished product which was delivered in great time too. Thanks again, I will be back for more (hopefully soon)!
