Early interest in the company, which provides always-on power and internet in a smart, portable box, has exceeded expectations, with £688,000 of investment already committed pre-launch.

The new funding round follows a successful 2022 during which the company’s signature product, Reskube Home, was awarded the prestigious BCI Global Continuity and Resilience Innovation Award. Having enjoyed early success domestically, Reskube Ltd now wants to tackle power and internet poverty on a global stage, particularly in areas like South Africa and USA who are frequently dealing with power interruptions.

The funding round opens today (21st February) and early interest has been extremely high, with £688,000 committed pre-launch. Investors can learn more and get involved by visiting the Reskube website.

UK based Reskube was launched in April 2021 by successful British businessman Andrew Lawton, who has a history in successfully building channel-focused service businesses. Andrew leads a team united with a goal of tackling the power and internet connectivity puzzle for all and delivering unparalleled control, confidence, and security to businesses and users.

​​​​​​​The crowdfund investment will allow Reskube to continue to expand their pioneering range of products, with plans to develop the Reskube Home Pro and Reskube Hub set to be announced in 2023. These new products will continue to see Reskube further enhance their innovative ‘all in one box’ technology and be used across several different industries and situations. Additional funding will also allow Reskube to further develop their proprietary UPS and Battery Control Technology to reduce costs and further improve product performance and flexibility

In recent years, remote work has become a fixture of everyday life for millions. Nearly 40% of UK workers report to be working from home*. Furthermore, during 2021, 350 million people globally were directly affected by power cuts and with the threat of power shortages only increasing since, it is likely that this number will continue to rise. However, the majority of remote workers both in the UK and overseas are not currently set up with an infrastructure that compares to an office environment. This poses tangible risks to productivity and to commercial performance as millions of hours are lost to avoidable disruption.

Reskube is designed to solve this challenge and help employers and employees alike deliver their best work, uninterrupted. Its potential stretches far beyond the home worker, however, given that almost everything these days requires a combination of power and internet. The benefits apply to all manner of people and circumstances, from gamers and home carers to campers and caravanners, with new products being developed to help meet the needs of different markets.

Andrew Lawton, CEO of Reskube Ltd, commented: “We’ve been delighted with our success to date, but the truth is we’ve barely scratched the surface. At a time where remote working is becoming the norm, along with the increased threat of power and internet disruption worldwide, it is crucial that remote setups are resilient enough to withstand any challenges they may face.

“Beyond that, this gets even more exciting because the potential application of an all-in-one power and internet solution, which guarantees unbroken access when most needed, is vast. From petrol forecourts and retail to gamers and campers and further to doctor’s surgeries and mobile medical centres in emergency zones. The list goes on.

“Our British success story is only just beginning. As we continue to evolve our innovative technology and enter new markets, we are extremely excited to launch this new funding round. Early interest has shown that others can also see the great opportunity that we have in front of us. There is still plenty of time for investors who want to help us end internet and power poverty.”
