Hampshire-based Lumi Technologies, a real-time audience insight research provider, has raised £2m from Clydesdale Bank to continue expanding.
The firm, whose customers include eBay, Deutsche Bank and Vodafone, was founded in 2008 and currently employs 160 people.
Richard Taylor, Lumi Technologies’ CEO, said: “Our technology enables us to provide our clients with real-time insight via downloadable apps which offer genuine interactivity and inclusion.
“Our client portfolio already gives us huge global reach and we believe there is real potential for further growth particularly in areas such as education,” he added.
The company, which has offices across the world, claims to be one of the first tech companies to be selected for Future Fifty, the Government-backed programme to support UK high growth businesses.
Sandra Hope, senior director of growth finance at Clydesdale Bank, added: “Lumi has already earned itself an excellent reputation for products which meet the needs of some of the world’s biggest multi-national companies. Their recent move into the education sector has further reinforced the potential which their unique technology offers.
“We have created a flexible funding package designed to support the Lumi team as they embark on this latest phase of expansion,” Hope concluded.
