Idea

Introduction

Wurkr seeks to be the leader in transforming the future of working from anywhere. We believe our solution is the first of its kind “Office in the Cloud” that simulates a physical office with always-on video technology. We take the virtual workplace beyond occasional video catch ups and recreate the experience of working together all day in an immersive and engaging way. Our platform enables seamless team collaboration, bridging gaps between workers anywhere in the world and embracing a truly new way of working.

With working from home growing by 400% in the last decade, the future of the workplace is undergoing a fundamental shift and digital technology is at the core. We estimate that, post-pandemic, up to 40% of companies will continue to have employees working from home or elsewhere. The need for solutions that cater to this new way of working will only grow.

When you invest in Wurkr, you are participating in one of the fastest growing industries in the world. You are investing in and shaping the future of work.

Monetisation strategy

Wurkr’s target market is not only companies with remote or distributed workers but also those transitioning workers to work from anywhere. Operating on a per user per month subscription pricing model, we will work with diverse businesses, such as start-ups, small and medium enterprises, multinational corporations, remote-first companies, and digital nomads, across industries.

We see an opportunity to expand our model across the UK, India, USA and finally the rest of the world. In fact, current surveys indicate that 99% of employees would like to work at least some of the time remotely for the rest of their careers, while 61% of global companies now offer their staff a remote working policy.

In this environment, where working from anywhere is emerging as the new normal, we will build on our demonstrated traction by raising a new round of funding to maximise advertising globally, expand our team and continue developing our product.

This will help Wurkr further build momentum, drive expansion and ultimately deliver its monetisation strategy.

Future plans: how we will use proceeds

Wurkr will utilise new investment to deliver on its expansion plan.

Wurkr seeks to:

● Be the leader in transforming the future of the ‘working from anywhere’ market.
● Further expand into the UK, India and USA in 2021, with a global push in 2022
onwards.
● Release Wurkr Pro (Paid) that provides for: multi browsers, mobile access, video
conference rooms, user customisation for logo and office sizes and whiteboarding.
● Integrate Wurkr Enterprise with products such as Slack and G Suite.

We are set to succeed in our vision of transforming the future of working from anywhere in a connected world.

Please note, this campaign is part of a larger round (see Key Information section)

Investor Perks

Investors always have the option to invest through the Seedrs Nominee structure but Direct investment is available above £25,000.

Please note that any discounts, rewards and/or offers listed by a company in its campaign are subject to the terms and conditions applied by that company and listed above. It is the company’s responsibility to honour such discounts, rewards and/or offers and Seedrs does not take any responsibility for them.

Key Information

Current raise

Wurkr has secured investment in two tranches from a large Indian Media House (the “Investor”), for a total investment of £700,000. This investment forms part of the round but is not reflected as the investment is tied to the use of the Investor’s marketing services in India and the Investor will be receiving preference shares.

The first tranche of £350,000 will be invested at the same price per share as this campaign. The second tranche of £350,000 can be invested upon agreement by the Company and the Investor, and if invested, will be based on fair market value, as determined by the company’s accountants.

The Investor will receive preference shares which entitle the investor to a 1x non-participating preference and a full ratchet anti-dilution right.

The investment is made on the condition that the Company will commit to the Investor’s advertising services for a minimum of 4 years (the fourth year only being applicable if the second tranche of investment is deployed).

Wurkr has also secured a further £100,000 commitment from an Angel investor in the form of a call option that may be exercised at the election of the Angel investor any time before 1 April 2022. The exercise price shall be the Company’s fair market value, as determined by the company’s accountants.

Pre-money valuation

Please note, Seedrs’ campaigns display valuation on a fully-diluted basis, so the £8.5m valuation includes (a) debt that is converting into equity on this round, (b) the existing option pool and (c) the first tranche of investment from the Indian Media House mentioned above. The price per share however remains exactly the same and is the price per share invested by the Indian Media House.

Outstanding debt

The business has the following outstanding debt:

£9k directors loan. No interest, payback plans or agreements in place currently.

£21,500 bounce back loan. 12 month interest free and payable over 6 years.

The summary information provided about investment opportunities on this webpage is intended solely to demonstrate the types of investments available on the Seedrs platform, and any investment decision should be made on the basis of the full campaign. Full campaigns are available to investors who have become authorised to invest on the Seedrs platform. All investment activities take place within the United Kingdom, and any person resident outside the United Kingdom should ensure that they are not subject to any local regulations before investing.

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from £8,503,015

This is the fully-diluted pre-money valuation of the business (i.e. before the new investment comes in and including issued options and other equity interests). In contrast, the post-money valuation is based on inclusion of the new investment in the value.

It is calculated as the pre-money valuation plus the amount of new investment. e.g. If Company A is ascribed a pre-money valuation of £1,200,000 by prospective investors investing £300,000, its post-money valuation is £1,500,000.

Pitch type

There are 5 types of investment pitch available on Seedrs.

  • Equity
  • Convertible
  • Fund
  • Cohort
  • Secondary

Investing in a regular equity campaign is the simplest and most common way to invest in a startup. You decide which business you want to invest in, and if the campaign hits its funding target then you will become one of their shareholders. As the company becomes more valuable, so do your shares; allowing you the opportunity to share in the future success of the business.

Learn more about pitch type on Seedrs

Equity Offered

The equity offered is the percentage of the company’s shares being issued in return for the amount of investment raised.

When the amount raised is less than 100%, the equity offered is based on the target raise. Once the company has raised over 100% it is based on the total raised.

In some scenarios, entrepreneurs may accept additional direct investment after closing their Seedrs campaign. Provided this is within 6 months of the closing and on the same terms, we do not typically offer pre-emption rights on that extra investment (where you have the opportunity to invest again to maintain your percentage shareholding).

Learn more about investing and pre-emption rights.

Seedrs nominee

This shows if you are able to choose, when making an investment, that you be represented by, and your shareholding be managed by, the Seedrs nominee.

Custodian

If you invest in this Campaign, Seedrs will act as Custodian rather than provide our standard nominee service. This is due to the fact that the business is not directly involved in the share sale and Seedrs will not benefit from any rights under a shareholder agreement. As a result, Seedrs will handle administrative tasks as we do normally, but you will not have information or voting rights, updates from the business, preemption on future fundraising, or ongoing support about business trading activity.

Secondary market

This shows if the business has opted-in or opted-out of allowing its shares to be bought and sold on the secondary market.

Direct investment

This is an option to invest and hold shares 'directly' in the company (rather than via the Seedrs Nominee). This option is only available to those investing over the threshold amount, which is determined by the fundraising company.

If you choose to hold your shares directly, you will be responsible for any contractual or administrative arrangements with the company you are investing in.

Payment options

We are not able to accept card payments for investments into this sector. You can pay for your investment by creating a bank transfer, using funds in your investment account or create a Pay by Bank payment. Your investment will only be completed once the funds have reached our account.

Business Involvement

This Campaign offers shares for sale in business that is not directly involved in this Campaign or the sale. As a result, the Campaign and post-investment experience, including investor rights, will differ from a business-led campaign on Seedrs. Most notably, the business will not engage with investors in the discussion forums both during and after the sale or provide any updates to investors.
