Octopus Ventures Partnership

"Octopus have a strong track-record of backing successful companies. Their investment approach aligns well with the typical companies that would get the best results on cord and it's great to see a number of their businesses choosing cord as their hiring tool of choice. In particular the team at Depop - our early adopters."
