Manchester startup zally is to move its headquarters to San Francisco after raising £2.8 million in a bridge round of funding as it prepares for a US raise.
The firm’s executive chairman David Webb and Web3 specialist Dan Hibell are among the angel investors backing the behavioural AI startup.
Founder Patrick Smith told BusinessCloud the round was oversubscribed by 40% and included figures from Manchester Angels as well as London.
Webb, who joined as chairman 18 months ago and became executive chairman three months ago, is the founder of 6point6 — acquired by Accenture in December 2023, the same month zally closed its £1.6m pre-seed raise.
