Proptech platform Breezemove has secured a six-figure investment as part of a £750,000 seed round positioning the business for growth as it looks to streamline the homebuying process.
The funding comes from GC Angels, which supported £1.87m of investment across four deals in March, with Breezemove emerging as one of the key proptech plays from its Venture Forward accelerator.
Breezemove is developing a platform aimed at simplifying and speeding up the homebuying journey, targeting inefficiencies that continue to contribute to delays and fall-throughs across the UK market.
The investment follows the company’s participation in GC Angels’ Venture Forward programme, funded by Innovate UK, which is designed to support underrepresented founders preparing for their first institutional funding round.
STRONG PIPELINE
GC Angels said the programme is proving to be a strong pipeline for early-stage businesses, with two of the latest investments originating from the first cohort.
Alongside Breezemove, GC Angels led a £345,000 investment into wellness brand MissionC, while also completing follow-on investments into existing portfolio companies including OurPetsLife and Gaia Learning.
The first Venture Forward cohort, which ran in Manchester between October and December 2025, has now seen nine companies raise more than £2.5m in total.
For the property sector, the backing of Breezemove highlights continued investor interest in technology aimed at tackling inefficiencies in the transaction process, particularly as the industry looks for solutions to reduce delays and improve completion rates.
SUPPORTING FOUNDERS
Marc Shirman (main picture, inset), Head of Equity Investment at GC Angels, says: “Through the Venture Forward programme, GC Angels is demonstrating its value as a route to identifying and supporting exceptional underrepresented founders across the North.
“These investments highlight the strength of the pipeline we are building and the quality of businesses emerging from the programme, alongside the continued progress of our wider portfolio.
“It’s been great to see founders move from early-stage participation in the programme through to investment readiness in a short space of time, and we look forward to driving further investments through the second cohort over the coming months.”
A second cohort of the programme has recently completed in Leeds, with GC Angels continuing to focus on improving access to funding for diverse founders.
