Administrate, a UK-based enterprise training operations platform, recently announced that it has raised $6.4 million in funding from Hambro Perks as a new capital partner, which specializes in supporting high-growth scale-up companies focusing on B2B SaaS. Existing investors Archangels, Mercia, and the Scottish Investment Bank, have also participated in the fundraising.

Our capital partners understand the unique opportunity ahead of us, and we’re excited to continue building on our success sustainably.

These tools within our platform can transform training operations and drive significant ROI for our customers in unprecedented ways.
Headquartered in Scotland, Edinburgh and has offices in Bozeman, Montana, the startup claims that customers would experience an 80% reduction in manual activities after implementing its platform, and its new AI-powered scheduler has experienced accelerated customer demand in the last six months.
