Agency Core, the management software for creatives, has, together with Par Equity, successfully completed a round of investment raising £100K this week. With continued support from existing investors and Scottish Investment Bank these additional funds will help Agency Core take its agency management platform to a wider user base.

Agency Core's chief executive, Matthew Davies, said: “We’re extremely excited about the next phase of development for Agency Core. We’ve had a superb year and the team is working well together. We have a clear vision - to build the best tools for creatives that help agency owners enjoy the adventure of running their businesses.

“Agency Core gives creative agencies clarity by helping them manage their sales, projects and finances in one place. Business management tools are so often bland and boring, so we’ve worked hard to design a bold, exciting, intuitive interface to engage and support ambitious creative agencies.”

The close of this investment marks almost two years since co-founders Davies and Helen Visser relocated from Surrey to Edinburgh (via a short stint living in a motorhome) to take part in the UP Accelerator programme.

Visser said: “We are so grateful to Danny Meaney and the team at UP for taking a chance on us and selecting us for the programme. The business has benefited greatly from the many opportunities, relationships and support the community in Edinburgh provides.”

Andy Berry, chief technology officer at Agency Core, said: “The tech scene in Scotland, particularly Edinburgh is vibrant and supportive. Being based here is great for businesses like Agency Core because it attracts and retains talented people who want to be involved in dynamic forward thinking projects.”

Since an initial investment in October 2015, the company’s main focus has been on significant product development following the addition of Berry as CTO. The latest round of investment will be directed primarily towards sales and marketing activities to raise the profile of the business across the UK.
