The Lifted Angel Network, part of Lifted Ventures, has announced the successful close of three recent investments.

Eco Green Living, a Manchester-based business providing plastic-free, compostable household essentials, has successfully closed a £502,000 funding round, with support from the Lifted Angel Network.

Founded by Julie Cook, Julie pitched to the Lifted Angel Network before going on to complete the round with backing from a wider group of angel investors.

Operating on a purpose-before-profit ethos, Eco Green Living offers certified compostable alternatives to everyday disposable products. The business sells direct-to-consumer and B2B, and partners with environmental initiatives, including tree-planting programmes.

Nc’nean Distillery, an independent organic whisky producer based on the west coast of Scotland has secured a new round of growth funding to the value of £2.5 million, combining investment from the Lifted Angel Network and private investor Lotus Investments.

The funding will support the distillery’s continued commitment to sustainable production, expansion of its spirits range, and the scaling of distribution to meet growing global demand.

Nc’nean, led by founder Annabel Thomas, is widely recognised for its pioneering environmental credentials. The distillery is powered entirely by renewable energy, uses only organic Scottish barley, bottles its whisky in 100% recycled glass, and is certified net-zero.

Haazar, a Manchester-based tech startup founded by entrepreneur Harriet Noy, has also secured backing with the support of The Lifted Angel Network.

Hazaar is the UK’s first marketplace built exclusively for students, helping brands unlock students & sell slower moving stock. Hazaar is flipping the current student discount model on its head – allowing brands to turn excess stock into lifelong customers.
