A Manchester-based remote working technology start-up has secured a six-figure investment to further develop its product and add to its diverse board.

Your Flock, whose customers include the BBC, Social Chain and Virgin, has received £240,000 from GC Angels and a private investor.

Based on methodology from Stanford University and the University of Manchester, Your Flock will use the investment to build out its technology proposition and grow its team to integrate the tool with LinkedIn and other social platforms.

It will also use the investment to evolve Your Flock into a pure Software as a Service (SaaS) offering, by curating users’ data with machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Jess Jackson, head of investment at GC Angels, will join Your Flock’s board as part of the investment, taking the proportion of women on its board to more than 60%.

She said: "Your Flock is a diverse business with huge potential for growth, so we are proud to support it alongside our private co-investors.

"Ensuring that employees are engaged and aligned with company cultures will be critical for team leaders in the future as we all balance remote and office working, and we’re confident that Your Flock will play a big part in enabling the world to do so."

Dan Sodergren, co founder of Your Flock, added: "Remote working has boomed during Covid-19. We’re excited to help newly remote workers to discover their core values and work more productively with their teammates.

"By enabling us to recruit a new senior developer and appoint Jess Jackson to our board, this investment will also strengthen the diversity of our already inclusive team as we look to scale up in the º£½ÇÊÓƵ and beyond."
