We founded MirrorWeb in 2012 to allow users to create permanent, unalterable records of all online communications, be that a website or social media platform. We now capture information of commercial, cultural and historical value, curating it in a user friendly format so it will never be lost and will be accessible to future generations.”
“We’ve grown exponentially since that initial idea and this investment is another benchmark moment in our evolution that will support MirrorWeb’s ambition to lead the preservation of the world’s digital heritage.”
Jeremy Thompson, Investment Manager of Maven Capital, said: “MirrorWeb has developed innovative technology which has allowed the firm to build a cloud-native website and social media archiving service.
The team has already won some impressive customers including The National Archives and UK Parliament, and has developed a strong relationship with Amazon Web Services to enable the platform to scale up very easily.
This investment will further strengthen the team in Manchester, as MirrorWeb looks to take advantage of growing demand as businesses and public sector bodies are increasingly looking for support to manage and monitor their digital communications. We are delighted to be able to support the team in their next stage of growth.”
