Hyde Park Angels led the funding. It included participation from AMD, a maker of computer processors and graphics cards, which invested through its Fusion Fund programme.

InContext CEO Bob Gillespie said: “Virtual store research and planning are at a key inflection point and our pioneering technology and world class research place us in a prime position to capitalise on their future growth.”
