Tangent Technology, a London-based recruitment tech startup, raised £884k in pre-seed funding.

The round included investments from Zinc VC, Google Black Founders Fund, and notable angels like Leonard Picardo and Catherine Lenson.

The funds will be used to further develop their employee referral platform, which leverages AI and mentorship programs to improve hiring processes.

Founded by Gary Izunwa and Joe Adams, Tangent connects jobseekers with employees at companies like Stripe and Amazon. This initiative aims to enhance diversity in tech roles.
