Watchkeeper completed a £1 million funding round led by MMC and Venrex

Watchkeeper, a London, UK-based developer of an end-to-end SAAS for key event management, announced the completion of a £1 million ($1.4M) funding round.

The money was raised from existing investors, the British early stage VC MMC Ventures and Venrex Investment Management.

Watchkeeper, founded in 2018 by CEO Hugh Farquhar and CTO Daniel Whatmuff, developed a situational awareness platform for monitoring natural disasters, violent incidents and public health emergencies. The platform is used by businesses in order to manage critical events, it gathers information from internal and external sources, and enables them to respond quickly to rapidly changing situations. WatchKeeper works by taking information directly from internal and external sources and combining them to provide complete and real-time situational awareness.

The company was previously pre-seeded with £500k at the start of 2020.
