urfuture Raises £650,000 to Build the Future of Jobs for Gen Z and Employers 🚀

urfuture has raised £650,000 to scale our mission:
rebuilding the broken entry-level job system for Gen Z, and giving employers a faster, smarter, fairer way to hire.

Our investment has been backed by some serious belief in what we’re building, led by:

The Currie Family, Solid Bond the fund led by former AO.com CEO Steve Caunce and Angel Investors from property entrepreneurs to UK sports stars who’ve lived the pressure of career transitions themselves

Why they backed us:

Because Gen Z is entering the workforce confused, overlooked, and burnt out by a hiring system that doesn’t serve them.

And employers?
They’re flooded with low-intent CVs, ghosted by candidates, and struggling to fill early careers roles efficiently.

The system’s broken.  

We’re here to rebuild it from the ground up:

• A job-matching engine based on behavioural science, not bias

• A platform that ditches the CV and matches people to roles they’re built to thrive in

• A candidate experience that feels more like Spotify, less like a spreadsheet

• A new way for employers to attract, search, and hire Gen Z, fast, diverse, and data-led

What this funding means:

We’re doubling down on our growth, across product, science, and reach:

• Scaling the urfuture app to help more young people figure out where they belong before they even apply

• Expanding our platform for employers and providers, giving TA teams the tools to match faster, hire better, and retain more

• Leveling up our matching algorithm with real-world hiring outcomes

• Growing our content engine (TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube) to stay the UK’s most-watched Gen Z careers brand

From a TikTok idea to a talent movement

What started as a frustration and a sketch on a whiteboard has grown into:

• 100M+ views across social

• 50,000+ users  

• The UK’s first matching platform designed for Gen Z

• A co-founding team built for scale, now backed by powerhouse investors who believe in the mission

And we’re just getting started.

To every investor, supporter, tester, and candidate who helped us get to this point, thank you.

This isn’t just funding.
It’s fuel for a movement.
