Investors: The investment round featured Berlin-based Cavalry Ventures as the lead investor with participation from Supernode Global, Antler and a pool of renowned angel investors such as Matt ‘Mills’ Miller, Co-Founder of UsTwo and Monument Valley, Atomico angels Sarah Drinkwater and Sameer Singh, and Daniel Sachs, Global board member of Open Society Foundations (OSF).
Purpose of the funding: The startup seeks to deploy the proceeds from the investment round towards recruiting fresh talent, scaling its app to adjust the rapidly sprouting waitlist, and taking itself within an ace of modifying from its present request-only design to a public launch.
About Anyone
Founded in 2020 by David Orlic, Alfred Malmros and Sam Ducker, Anyone permits consumers to promptly and systematically join for an on-demand 1:1 interaction with eminent advisors, who fix their talking points and charges, in the absence of the necessity to search their mailbox or calendar. Anyone establishes a unique type of knowledge sharing that bolsters innovation and spontaneity by mitigating connection restrictions and inhibiting every call to 5 minutes. Operating as a remote startup with a wholly dispersed team, the startup has a presence in Stockholm, London, Paris and New York. The app has gained much popularity amongst tech founders and has been one of the most talked-about audio apps coming out of Nordics last year. It has secured a position in Business Insider’s global list of startups on the verge of becoming successful in 2021 and tagged one of Sweden’s most famous startups in Sifted.
What the Founder has to say: “The sole objective behind establishing Anyone is to allow more that can get further faster. We have constantly been observing and comprehending the app’s impact on people’s jobs, lives and well-being. We have witnessed many of our consumers resign from their jobs post a five-minute talk. In contrast, others have discovered a new career or have been promoted after using Anyone as a sounding board.”- David Orlic, Co-Founder and CEO of Anyone.
What the Investors have to say: “Anyone’s speciality lies in its quality and connection of 1:1 counsel. The team was vigilant enough to notice the rising scope of audio and the initiation of the creator economy long before the hype. The startup’s achievements and vision of building the phone book of the new generation are impressive and commendable. The majority of the professionals replicate the same advice on every platform because of being asked a similar question repeatedly. However, the restriction created by an Anyone call resolves the shortcoming. It compels all parties to concentrate on offering high-end counselling.”- Claude Ritter, Managing Partner at Cavalry Ventures.
