#crowdfunding #Seedrs #confidence #investorfit #pregnant
£600k raised
In 2005, Emma Sayle saw an opportunity to change the male-dominated adult industry to make space for women to safely explore their sexuality. 12 years later, Emma is at the helm of a global movement for female sexual empowerment.
In 2018 KK became the first brand of its kind to crowdfund publicly, via the Seedrs platform. This move, a necessity in order to develop the digital arm of the brand, was perfectly with the #MeToo movement in the zeitgeist and the rapid rise in the sex-tech sector. Though perhaps not so perfectly timed with Emma’s pregnancy due date!
