Testimonials:
“We’re excited to team up with Octopus Ventures, they resonated with our ambition from the start to revolutionize the cloud data market. With this funding we aim to triple our revenue by 2025.”
“TravelLocal has performed very strongly again coming out of the pandemic as people travel extensively – and increasingly with a strong desire to do so in a more sustainable, meaningful way, that supports local people and economies. Our unique business model enables everyone to do just that. This funding round reflects the excellent growth opportunity we now have, and the first class team we have built to tackle it.”
It was a genuine pleasure working with Eddie and the ICON team, whose guidance through the acquisition process was invaluable to us. We are excited to join Interact and be a part of its amazing growth trajectory. With this development, Sideways 6 customers will benefit from our increased access to resources that drive innovation and bring more value to their business.
