Flabba, a Leeds, England-based tech company whose advanced remote working software is used by the Home Office and the NHS, raised £400,000 in funding

The investment was from NPIF – Mercia Equity Finance, which is managed by Mercia and is part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund (NPIF)—and angel investors.

This funding will enable the team to work with existing partners Zoom and Microsoft Teams to develop apps, and with Amazon Web Services to incorporate machine learning. Flabba, which currently employs nine staff, is planning to create several new jobs in Leeds.

Colin Rhodes, CEO of Flabba, said: "Remote working is here to stay, and we are very excited to be driving innovation to make collaboration easier and more effective for everyone. The funding will allow us to add new features, drive uptake across different sectors, and establish the Neugo platform as the leader in the field."

The platform, Neugo, was created in 2017 to enable Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to manage the recruitment of doctors and nurses from locations worldwide and has since been deployed across 20 other NHS Trusts and service providers.

Flabba's platform integrates with standard video conferencing software such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams to provide a complete workflow solution. It enables professionals to collaborate with colleagues in different locations and manage projects from start to finish.
