Block Dojo Cohort 7 Company, adeus, Secures £295,000 in Pre-Seed Funding to Transform Wills and Legacy Planning

adeus, the digital will and legacy planning platform by Mankind Technologies Ltd, has successfully closed its pre-seed funding round, securing £295,000 from a diverse group of angel investors across the UK, Europe, the USA, and Asia. This funding round builds on the initial investment secured in February 2024, led by Block Dojo, a prominent global venture builder.

planning, positioning the company ahead of upcoming legislative changes in England and Wales
that are set to allow electronic wills by mid-2025. By leveraging technology, adeus aims to make
planning legacies simpler, more secure, and accessible for everyone.
