Slip, a platform that helps retailers digitize receipts, recently secured a £2.5 million seed round in investment. The round was led by Adjuvo and included participation from Haatch Ventures, Unbundled VC, the Side by Side Partnership, and a range of angels such as Asos’ Executive Vice President of Customer & Marketing, Dan Elton, and former CIO at Frasers Group and former CTO at John Lewis, Julian Burnett.
