Why did we invest?
Transforming a broken sector
Ivee stood out as a transformative force in the recruitment industry, tackling the widespread barriers faced by career returners, a cohort of over 1.5 million individuals in the UK alone. Founded by Amelia and Lydia Miller, ivee is disrupting traditional recruitment by leveraging agentic AI to unlock a previously untapped talent pool of millions of returners globally. By combining intelligent matching, personalised upskilling, and community support, ivee empowers individuals to re-enter the workforce with confidence while delivering significant value to employers seeking quality candidates outside saturated talent pools.
Robust commercial validation
We were equally impressed by ivee's exceptional growth trajectory and proven business model. Since launching in late 2024, the company has scaled to hundreds of thousands of active jobseekers, secured multiple B2B contracts with blue-chip clients, and achieved robust revenue growth with negligible churn to date. With a robust multi-revenue model, strong gross margins, and a category-leading brand, ivee is uniquely positioned to capture a £100 billion global opportunity. By partnering with Ivee, we are proud to support a purpose-driven business that not only advances equality and inclusion in the workplace but also has the potential to redefine recruitment globally whilst delivering sustainable returns.
