Ah yes, 2021. The year that promised so much. The chiming of Big Ben was supposed to segue us miraculously from the dystopian doldrums of 2020 to a land of milk, honey and fewer restrictions. But then it happened. After 20 seasons at the cutting-edge of highbrow culture, Keeping Up with the Kardashians was cancelled.

In actual fact, 2021 has been an exciting one for Gravitywell. We’ve semi-migrated back to an IRL workspace (for those who want it) and the sheer number of awesome projects that have come our way has seen the team grow to a dizzying 12 members. 🎉

In classic agency style, we’re unable to talk about much of what we continue to work on, but here’s a flavour of what we got up to this year...

While there are some great examples of companies that have ‘bootstrapped’ their way to billions, most successful tech businesses will raise equity finance at some stage in their scale-up journey — usually over several funding rounds.

The right investment not only unlocks the cash you need to accelerate growth but also provides you with a new business partner who is aligned with your goals, brings business acumen and an invaluable network of industry contacts.
