Veo: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Veo® is the destination for sustainable lifestyle™. Veo took a tech-first approach to build the world's largest and most sustainable online shopping platform. We have solved the scalability problem inherent in large platforms (2 x Innovate UK grant award winner), and created an immersive lifestyle destination for conscious consumers to discover a world of unique, independent, sustainable brands all in one place. We thoroughly assess and vet all our products and brands, we do the research so you don't have to. That's why we've been Ethical Consumer's most ethical retailer for the last 3 consecutive years running and recognised as a global Top 5% Certified B Corporation, with a score of 130.6 and prestigious ‘Best For The World'. We developed our industry-leading assessment matrix which qualifies and approves the full life cycle of products from brands to join the platform. This instils critical consumer trust and assurance for becoming the world's largest, most sustainable lifestyle shopping platform. The 2nd grant (December 2023) is our latest initiative, harnessing the power of AI and ML to widen and democratise access to LifeCycle Assessments (LCAs) for the Fashion sector (and later expanding to other consumer industries: beauty, food & drink, etc - via AI Transfer Learning). This groundbreaking approach will enable designers and producers to 'simulate' their creative process and manufacturing runs prior to production, allowing them to optimise their designs for the environment. By empowering businesses and brands with these tools, we're revolutionising the way fashion and consumer goods are created, ensuring that sustainability is not an afterthought but an integral part of the design process. Our mission is to revolutionise retail, empowering businesses and consumers to embrace circular and regenerative consumption and production. __________ *most sustainable as Ethical Consumer's top-rated 'ethical online retailer' **largest by number of brands & SKUs

About FundedIQ's Veo Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Veo is left off this page rather than filled in.
