Julian and his team are well known to Hambro Perks, which was Quorso’s first external investor and which has invested in each subsequent round. The team is extremely impressive and this investment is perfectly aligned with the Hambro Perks ethos of supporting outstanding founders and entrepreneurs. The company raised this round of finance with the aim of continuing to build its world class team so that it can capture the huge market opportunity identified. Mettrr: Founded by Seb Lewis, Mettrr is a Do It For Me website builder that aims to help the millions of sole traders and micro SMEs in the world that currently have no online presence by creating bespoke websites for them using its market leading building platform. Once built, Mettrr then charges a monthly subscription to maintain the website, and this provides a strong recurring revenue stream that benefits from high retention rates. Mettrr’s model, driven by machine learning and direct interaction, means that it is able to provide its services across multiple geographies, and the number of countries in which it operates will increase as it incorporates more languages into its offering.

On an operational level, Hambro Perks has provided significant support and expertise in the acquisition of customers, as well as helping to build an experienced board of directors. The company raised this round of finance with the aim of continuing to build its technological capabilities and global scale so that it can develop and monetise the huge market opportunity identified. Tempo: Founded by Ben Chatfield and Ollie Povey, and incubated within Hambro Perks, Tempfair (which trades as Tempo) is a staffing platform which helps businesses to find and hire temporary and permanent office admin staff. Through the use of innovative interfaces and machine learning-driven matching algorithms, Tempo is able to increase the likelihood of suggesting potential employees who will be a good fit while also helping to cut the costs (both in terms of money and time) of hiring borne by its corporate clients. Tempo has been built impressively fast by Ben and Ollie while being incubated by Hambro Perks, which was one of the first investors in the company. This round of funding will allow them to build out both their technology and sales teams, and continue to gain share rapidly in the market.
