Transaction
Umbra met the founder of HotelMap™ during their initial capital raising efforts and were so impressed by the quality of the team and their ability to tackle the opportunity that they decided to invest personally in the business.
Following impressive growth, Umbra helped the founder determine a fair valuation for the latest round and introduced the transaction to members of the Umbra family, who invested alongside them and added value by offering their expertise and network. The raise was oversubscribed and Umbra is now a significant minority shareholder.
