This investment allows us to take a significant step forward in changing that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur growth to date shows there is real demand for a different approach, and this funding gives us the foundations to scale in a sustainable and measured way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Lead investor Malcolm S Howat added: \u201cThis investment reflects strong confidence in both the team and the opportunity in front of them. Forumm has already demonstrated clear traction and a deep understanding of its users.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Simple Share Buttons Adder (8.5.5) simplesharebuttons.com -->           \t            <\/div>\n<p><script>\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\nif(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\nn.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script',\n'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n fbq('init', '1192059580980274'); \nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script>#Investors #Forumms #approach #ticketing #Daily #Business<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Co-founders Dan Marrable and Dr Hilary Young Scottish ticketing and event technology start-up Forumm has secured \u00a3250,000 from an angel investor network to enhance its platform and expand its team.&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11058,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[245],"tags":[5697,283,282,12697,12698,92,12699],"class_list":["post-11057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-main-stories","tag-approach","tag-business","tag-daily","tag-forumm","tag-forumms","tag-investors","tag-ticketing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fintechpulse8.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fintechpulse8.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fintechpulse8.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fintechpulse8.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fintechpulse8.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11057"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fintechpulse8.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11057\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fintechpulse8.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fintechpulse8.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fintechpulse8.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fintechpulse8.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
