Andy Murray serves up fresh tech investment­s

- By SCOTT REID

Andy Murray has invested into two more UK tech start-ups as part of his strategic relationsh­ip with funding platform Seedrs.

The Scots tennis champion is investing undisclose­d amounts into Goodbox and Zoomdoc. Each of the sectors – the charity space and healthtech – are said to be “ripe for disruption”.

Murray said: “These two businesses provide innovative, much-needed solutions. Goodbox has the potential to revolution­ise the way we donate to charity.

“I’ve been involved in the digital health space for a while now, primarily getting schools focused on creating digital solutions for health problems, so Zoomdoc interested me.”

Seedrs chairman Jeff Lynn said: “We are delighted to see Andy growing such a diverse and dynamic early-stage investment portfolio on Seedrs. [He] continues to invest into exciting sectors such as healthtech, fintech and now the charity technology space.”
