London, United Kingdom – UK based application and games developer Liquid5 has secured seed funding for a range of new product streams and cross promotional platforms. Investment has been secured by the firm’s co-founders Ted Nash and Nick Reffitt from Marc Nohr (co-founder and CEO of Kitcatt Nohr Digitas), Steve Pankhurst (co-founder of FriendsReunited) and Tim Ward (former marketing director at FriendsReunited).
Commenting on the investment, Ted Nash said: “I am delighted to have secured investment and input from Tim, Steve and Marc on Liquid5. We are looking to expand the business quickly through the products and platforms we create.
“To have access to these three will be invaluable to Nick and I as we continue to expand the business and its offerings. I believe we have great foundations to create something significant and with their expertise and experience, we have a great opportunity to take Liquid5 to exciting new places.”
The exact amount of funding has not been disclosed, but it is said to be ‘enough’ to accelerate product development and recruitment significantly.
While the company recognises that funding is essential to capitalise on the team’s new product concepts, so too is the expertise that will be made available by Nohr, Pankhurst and Ward.
