A Dragons’ Den-backed debit card and app for adults who need help managing their everyday money is looking for £400k to close out its fundraise.
Sibstar’s co-founder and CEO Jayne Sibley took her pitch to Dragons’ Den last year and secured £125,000 in funding from Deborah Meaden and Sara Davies MBE.
Sibstar empowers financial independence with a debit card and app to safely manage everyday spending. Originally aimed at people with dementia it’s now expanded to include other vulnerable adults.
That includes those with learning disabilities and mental health conditions as well as adults at risk of financial abuse or in addiction recovery.
Sibley said: “We’ve raised before from HNW, industry leading Angels and friends of course. This final £400k unlocks everything.
“Want in? Let’s talk. Email me at jayne@sibstar.co.uk. We know what makes Dragons invest. What makes you invest?”
Sara Davies threw her weight behind Sibstar. “If you want to back a founder who’s solving real problems for real people and not just chasing the next trend then this is your chance,” wrote the ex-Dragon. “Sometimes the best investments aren’t the flashiest. They’re the ones that matter.”
