Reporti secures investment from the Royal College of Art’s Design & Innovation S/EIS Fund
Investors in this round: Royal College of Art
The Royal College of Art (RCA) and Infinity Asset Management LLP are delighted to announce that its RCA Design & Innovation S/EIS Fund has invested in Reporti.
Reporti is developing a real-time incident reporting platform that enhances safety at live events such as concerts, festivals, nightclubs, and sports matches. Designed to address barriers to incident reporting, Reporti allows attendees to digitally report safety issues and receive immediate, tailored feedback. This is all accessed without app downloads or mobile service, ensuring accessibility in crowds and critical emergency situations. By enabling instant digital reporting, Reporti empowers venues to respond faster, prevent escalation, and enhance safety, creating a better experience and building trust with attendees.
Attendees can use Reporti to discreetly report incidents like medical emergencies, assaults, or suspicious behaviour without having to physically locate staff. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with mobility challenges, or potential bystanders, reducing unreported incidents and improving overall safety.
Beyond immediate incident management, Reporti enables data collection and analysis for audits and licensing. This helps venues strengthen safety measures and improve crisis planning in line with the upcoming Martyn’s Law in the UK and other international live event safety regulations. By combining real-time response capabilities with proactive safety planning, Reporti makes live events smarter, and more inclusive for both attendees and organisers.
Gracie Broom, Founder and CEO of Reporti, said: “Securing investment and support from the RCA Design & Innovation S/EIS Fund has been invaluable to Reporti’s development, and I’m incredibly grateful for their backing. It’s exciting to transform two years of global nightlife research across Tokyo, New York, and London into a tangible solution with the potential to make a real difference in event safety and the nighttime economy. I look forward to seeing how the tool can scale even further in the future.”
Dr Nadia Danhash, Director of InnovationRCA, said: “We’re delighted that the RCA Design & Innovation S/EIS Fund has completed its investment into Reporti. Gracie is an amazingly talented and hardworking founder and we’re incredibly proud to be supporting her as she develops Reporti.”
Since 2015, InnovationRCA has operated its angel network, AngelClubRCA, which was set up to promote and encourage commercial enterprise in the UK by connecting the most promising S/EIS early-stage RCA start-ups with investors. Now with the RCA Design and Impact S/EIS Fund, more qualified investors can access the unique multi-sector RCA pipeline at a very early stage while valuations are low and those companies are incubated and supported by InnovationRCA.
